little girls.
laketch has a good theory going on. it was annie, to begin with. the first time i remember wanting to be an actor was all about aileen quinn.
except not in the movie. have i told this story before? there was this dateline-esque piece on her on television, and in it her friendly neighborhood letter carrier walked up to her as she was sitting on her porch and handed her this big manila envelope, and said, "a letter from the president!" who was ronald reagan. and i turned to my mother and said, why don't i get mail from the president? thinking: i am red-haired and precocious. what gives?
and my mother said: yes, but aileen quinn is annie.
and oh, it was on.
