Aileen Quinn, standing at exactly 5ft 0 (152.4 cm), perfectly embodied the plucky, pint-sized orphan Annie in the 1982 film adaptation of the beloved musical, where her petite stature amplified the character's endearing, scrappy charm.
Quinn once quipped, "I'm 5 feet even - 5ft and three-quarters with heels," highlighting how her compact height contributed to her iconic, youthful image.
Beginning dance lessons at age 4 in ballet and tap, she built a career as an actress, singer, and dancer, with her 5ft 0 frame ideal for dynamic, high-energy roles.
