Welcome to my website! If you are interested in anything about Orphan Annie - this is the place to look! I have been researching Mary Alice Smith - the real Orphan Annie and the Little Orphant Annie character in all her permutations since 2005. My goal is to eventually write a book about this research. However, I thought that people might be interested in finding out what I find out as my research progresses. So I try to post to this site on a weekly basis - usually at the beginning of the week. You can also follow me on Facebook!
If you have some information that you feel can help me on my research - be sure to send me a message on my Tip Line in the About section. Thanks for visiting!
