Η Cameron Diaz δείχνει την κακιά πλευρά της στο set του Annie
She's portraying one of the most nasty characters in musical theatre history.
And whilst the stunning Cameron Diaz was far from haggard in her portrayal of Miss
Hannigan on Wednesday, she most definitely brought out her mean and nasty side as she
hurled a pink blanket from a balcony.
It was on the New York City set of the latest remake of Annie that the 41-year-old actress
pulled an array of angry faces guaranteed to scare any orphan in sight.
Cameron's version of the bitter old orphanage owner was far sexier than Carol Burnett's,
and deliberately so by the looks of things.
She wore ripped dark green skinny jeans that boasted more holes than actual fabric, which
were tucked into the top of vicious looking black ankle boots covered with sharp silver studs.
A white fishnet shirt was topped with another very hole-happy grey sweatshirt, which was in
turn topped with a black and white bat-wing style cardigan.
Chunky jewellery decorated the Bad Teacher star's neck and enormous hoop earrings
cemented her outdated urban-chic look.
Black nail polish added a little scary factor to the grungy ensemble, but the scariest thing of
all was no doubt her expert angry face.
Cameron scowled as she hurled the pink piece of fabric with all her might off the edge of the
balcony on the side of typical New York-style external fire escape.
An angry monster is precisely what she was attempting to portray, with her character Miss
Hannigan being the very thing that makes little Annie's life hell.
The remake, produced by Jay-Z and Will Smith, stars Quvenzhané Wallis in the title role, with
the ten-year-old youngster having been filming for several weeks now.
Jamie Foxx plays millionaire Benjamin Stacks - the movie's equivalent to 'Daddy' Warbucks
with Rose Byrne as his assistant.
Directed by Will Gluck and based on a screenplay by Emma Thompson, the film was
originally set to star Willow Smith as the famous orphan.
It is thought that Jay-Z - a long time fan of the 1982 musical - will be providing some original
music for the film.
'When the TV version [of Annie] came on, I was drawn to it,' he once revealed. 'It was the
struggle of this poor kid in this environment and how her life changed... It immediately
resonated.'
The original musical is based on the Harold Gray comic strip, Little Orphan Annie, which
made its debut in 1924. The Broadway musical opened in 1977 and won seven Tonys.
The feature film based on the musical opened in theatres in 1982 and starred Aileen Quinn
as Annie, Albert Finney as Daddy Warbucks and also featured Tim Curry and Bernadette
Peters.
