As a child, I remember twirling around my house singing “Tomorrow” in my best Annie voice and pretending I was a mini Broadway star as the VHS (remember those?) played on my TV screen. I LOVED Annie. She had so much hope. She was so spunky and smart. She ended up being rich after enduring hardship. She also had the most beautiful head of red curly hair and I was obsessed. But, unfortunately she looked nothing like me. Annie was a girl I connected with and loved but knew I could never truly portray on a stage because she just…didn’t look like me.

Now, over 20 years later, I am beyond proud and honored to see a young girl who looks like I did when I was a child, representing “Annie” on a global stage! This is such an incredible feat. Essence captured young starlet Quvenzhané Wallis and Jamie Foxx on the cover of their December issue as the father & daughter duo in the upcoming Sony Pictures remake of the 1984 classic ANNIE. Here’s what Jamie had to say about working with her:

I don’t think we could have done this movie unless Quvenzhané came along. It’s sort of like she’s tailor-made for the role in a sense. I would challenge you to find a girl who personifies ‘Annie’ better than Quvenzhané does… –Jamie Foxx, ESSENCE

What excites me more than seeing this film is that I’ll eventually get to own it for myself on DVD and play it for my daughter when she’s old enough to appreciate it like I was. Only now she can truly feel like ANNIE is a role she can play on stage because of who she sees on screen.

Check out the trailer below:

 The December issue of Essence Magazine hits newsstands on this Friday, November 7th.

Update (11/10): Also make sure you check out my blogger boo Danielle Gray of TheStyleandBeautyDoctor in this month’s issue of Essence!

She’s in an advertorial spread for Motions and she looks flawless! Another great reason to pick up a copy!
