Casting Annie for Revival TV Special — Page 2

It wasn't done like Grease though where you call in and vote. I was unfortunately one of the children who was a part of that...I was 11 and turned 12 in the process. For adults it's hard enough, but to be a child and have the cameras constantly on your every move at an audition (as if auditions aren't nerve wracking enough) and having your feedback (good and bad) on national tv isn't all that fun. It wasn't a reality casting show, it was something that 20/20 documented and aired at a later date. But to announce who got the role of Annie, they called a group of girls into a room with press like it was some big spectacle and obviously out of all the girls, only one gets picked...so there was one happy young lady (who later wasn't so happy when they fired her but I guess she's happy now with her music success...) and about 10 little crying girls who just had their dreams crushed in front of dozens of reporters, and later, 20/20 audiences across America. That makes for a really great night of TV...

you think that TT would like us to know that she was involved in this production? by any chance?

TT, I was told a while ago that she mentioned something on Seth's Chatterbox once about being fired by Martin.

Oh, and Lolly, I love spotting you on the video haha.
