Pepper is portrayed in the film by Rosanne Sorrentino, who played Annie in the 3rd National Tour of the musical. Sorrentino originally wanted to be Annie in the film, but was too old. During auditions, Sorrentino was told she was too pretty to be Pepper, but she got the role anyway.
Trivia. 1  Usually, Annie's hair is curly. This Annie's hair is straight, although, in one scene, it is curled. 2  All three original actresses' first names begin with an A, just like the character's.
