80's Movie Weekend



The sun will come out tomorrow, bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow... you go ahead finish it. You know the words, because you like everyone else has seen the movie or musical known as "Annie." The 1982 film adaptation featured an awesome Carol Burnett as orphanage owner Miss Hannigan and stars Albert Finney, Bernadette Peters, Tim Curry, and Aileen Quinn as Annie. I was curious about Aileen and to the best of my research (which is not much) she appeared in minor roles in movies and tv projects throughout the years as well as on Broadway. Apparently she is a professor at Monmouth College in Long Branch, NJ these days.

Here is the trailer from 1982's "Annie"...



It's the "Hard Knock Life" for those poor orphans...



"Easy Street" with Burnett, Curry, and Peters...



here is an interview from a few years ago with Aileen...
