- Aileen Quinn, Annie, 1981. Some 8,000 kids were seen in a two year national talent hunt, 70 were auditioned – and 69 escaped an itchy red wig and having Alpo rubbed on their faces to encourage the damned dog to kiss them. Robin lost Little Orphan Annie but John Huston, helming his first musical at 75, made her Duffy.
