"The Movie of 'Tomorrow,'" quipped the posters for the 1982 film version of "Annie." As it turned out, the big-screen adaptation of the Broadway musical, which premiered 30 years ago this week (on May 17, 1982), may indeed have been ahead of its time.

Inspired by the venerable comic strip about the adventures of a plucky red-headed orphan and the tycoon who adopts her, the movie musical was only a modest hit in theaters. But once on video, it developed a fiercely devoted cult following. It also launched the careers of several young actresses, who went from chorus urchins to stars.

Read on to learn what became of the "Annie" cast, from its wee waifs to its veteran song-and-dance stars.

She grew up to be a very attractive woman. Unfortunately I could never get through the movie because her voice was so shrill it was irritating. It always made me whince. The same goes for the singers who really don't sing but scream.

The play of Annie was a cute play. It also was a cut movie.

I'd love to see names and photos of all the charming little girls who played the role of Annie on Broadway now that they're all grown ups!

I like the "Annie" tv-movie with Victor Garber, Audra MacDonald, and Kathy Bates. For me, it's TONS better.

Here's an hypothesis: being she was so annoying in Annie her career was shot; therefore, she went to the dark side, changed her name to Rebecca and joined forces w/ Grandpa Rupert.

I heard they all died in horrible fiery crashes. Or was that my wishful thinking again.
