Life After Tomorrow

I caught the documentary Life After Tomorrow not too long ago on Showtime and wow - it enthralled me, to say the least! I was an "Annie" obsessed child, from age 6 or so onwards, when my dad took me to see the musical in San Francisco. And when the movie came out, I had to go opening day. I still have my "Annie" souvenir movie magazine from 1982, which you can see on my Flickr page. This all happened long before the internet, so I spent the rest of my childhood (and some of my adult life!) wondering whatever happened to the little girls in the movie and the ones that performed in the stage show. Of course, I knew what happened to some of them like Sarah Jessica Parker and Alyssa Milano. But what of the others? Did they continue on in showbiz? What was it like being so young & in a Broadway show? How did the experience affect them? Positively? Negatively? Etc. etc. etc... Well, this wonderful documentary answered most of my questions and the companion website, AnnieOrphans.com, answered the rest. The documentary recently got released on DVD, so if you loved "Annie" as much as I did (and still do), I highly recommend picking up a copy at LifeAfterTomorrow.com. I know I will!!!

Happy 4th of July!

Carly loves Brooke (and so do I!)

I absolutely loved Brooke White on American Idol, from the first time they showed during auditions to her very last performance. Sure, she let her nerves get the best of her at times (especially these last couple of weeks), and yeah, she wasn't the BEST singer on the show, but she always seemed so genuine and heartfelt and vulnerable whenever she performed, which to me is way more important than being able to sing five octaves. Apparently, Carly Simon thought so too, because she called in to Fox & Friends yesterday during Brooke's interview to give MAJOR props to Brooke. It was so touching and sweet!!!



I hope Brooke goes on to have a long and lasting and very successful career. Good luck, Brooke!
