I saw this movie a while back, it's a really good one! She was such a great actress!

Mary Pickford is one of my favorite actresses, and that movie is a pretty good one. It's kind of a shame though that she sort of stuck doing those child roles like in this movie.

Mary's acting skill shines through, even in this brief clip. She was age 33 when she played "Little" Annie. Name an actress over 30 today who could pull that off.

She had enough talent that she could have succeeded in any era... I think it was the fans who didn't want her to play roles closer to her own age.

And then with all the personal losses she had between 1928 and '39, that almost definitely took away a lot of her desire. I wish she had continued her career for another 40 years...

there was a comic strip called little annie rooney.

She had so much charisma and range as an actress that it really is ashame she didn't get the opportunity to show as much diversity like she did in her early years. Oh well, I still adore her as this tough ragamuffin tomboy in Little Annie Rooney.
