Parker’s comment comes just over five years after she joined a host of other formerAnnieactresses onstage to celebrate the iconic musical’s 40th anniversary for anInside Editionspecial event.
TheSex and the Cityactress, who played the redheaded orphan in one of her first acting gigs, shared the stage with the dozens of formerAnnieactresses, includingAndrea McArdle, the original Annie from the 1977 Broadway production. Together, the women shared their memories of the role, and how the part shaped their lives.
“[I] watched Andrea and assumed I would never be inAnnie,” said Parker, who was 14 when she got the part. “I would certainly never play Annie, and I wouldn’t be part of this sort of magical phenomenon that washed over Broadway.”
And it wouldn’t be an Annie reunion without a musical number. The actresses joined together for performances of the musical’s classic songs “It’s A Hard Knock Life” and “Tomorrow.”
