why couldn’t they get Andrea McCardle? she was the original Annie...was she not interested? or maybe felt the perspective was too negative - it definitely comes across that some of these women were scarred by the experience. But the majority have very fond memories, including Sarah Jessica Parker, who was in it when I saw it..I was 11 years old! hahaaha
Life After Tomorrow reunites more than 40 women who played orphans in the Broadway production AnnieLIFE AFTER TOMORROW reunites more than 40 women who played orphans in the Broadway production Annie and reveals the highs and lows of their experiences as child actresses in a cultural phenomenon. Once the curtain came down, many found it could be a hard-knock-life, fraught with out-of-control stage mothers, separation anxiety, and worst of all, pubescent growth spurts that could find the moppets being replaced by smaller, younger editions just waiting in the wings. As one cast member in the film remarks, “The younger ones are coming to take your place and you’re 12. It’s not like you are getting downsized at 50…you’re 12!”. While their lives moved on, the impact of the experience remains. Features behind-the-curtain footage from the original Broadway production and performances with the re-united orphans.

It’s a story about how adults who once played Annie were socially and psychologically affected by hitting a pinnacle of fame so early in life. That there wasn’t more cursing is shocking. Maybe next time research a film’s subject matter before watching it with children in the first place. Posted 06/07/09 by Calm it down
Calm it down there Grandma! This is a great documentary. You could just skip over the F*** word. Stop complaining cause nobody cares...at all. |
