Little Orphan Annie
Daddy Warbucks's ward
Little Orphan Annie is a red-haired, blank-eyed comic strip character created in 1924, an optimistic orphan girl accompanied by her dog Sandy.
The strip ran for decades and spawned the musical *Annie*.
The phrase sometimes describes someone with a scrappy, cheerful demeanor despite hardship, or references the character's distinctive curly hair and empty-circle eyes.
