Aileen Quinn is an American actress.
Biography[]
Born in Yardley, Pennsylvania, Quinn became a stage actress in her local community theatre as a child and ultimately appeared on Broadway before beating hundreds of girls for the role of Annie in the 1982 film of the same name.
Quinn mostly remained as a stage actress, appearing in a number of musicals as well as classics such as As You Like It and Twelfth Night at LAMDA in London. She also served as the host of educational programme Generation Gap and appeared in the series The Comeback Kids.
Singing[]
Quinn had her biggest singing role in Annie (having understudied all the orphan roles in the stage musical), as well as releasing an album the same year entitled Bobby's Girl and voicing Dorothy in the animated adaptation of The Wizard of Oz.
As well as later singing in The Frog Prince, Quinn returned to the stage on several occasions, understudying several roles (including that of Chava) in Fiddler on the Roof, portraying Jenny in Shenandoah and Annette in Saturday Night Fever.
