Have you ever heard of her? She's an American actress, dancer, and choreographer. If you've ever seen the movie "Annie" (the well-known one made in 1982), Ann Reinking stars as Grace Ferrall, Mr. Warbucks' private secratary. She choreographed and was in "Chicago". She was also in "Goodtime Charley" (a Tony award winner), "Dancin' ", "All That Jazz" (winner of 4 Academy Awards) and "Fosse", which was loosely based around her life and her relationship with Bob Fosse, another famous choreographer. She's won a Tony Award, A Drama Desk Award, and a Bob Fosse Award. But I like her best in "Annie". I think she did a great job on the role, and seemed to work well with Aileen Quinn (the girl who played Annie) and Albert Finney(who played Oliver Warbucks, she had to kiss him in the end). I also think she looked very pretty in the movie. Well, times have changed, and she's almost 60 now. I just hope she never forgets her famous career as a talented actress, singer, and great dancer. And I hope people don't forget her, either.
Check her out in these scenes (ps- she's the brunette):
