Dear "Annie" Fans,

When I watched the latest musical version of "Annie", I felt that there must be real women who could connect with Cameron Diaz's Miss Hannigan, and that entire idea has me wondering about the psychology of Miss Hannigan, in general:

1.) Would the 1930s Miss Hannigan be anything like the fame-obsessed, lustful Hannigan that appears in the newest movie version of "Annie"?

2.) What was Miss Hannigan's own childhood like? Has an official first name ever been given to her? Was she an orphan as a kid?

3.) Are there any clues to why she's an alcoholic? Is she after the local men because she's just naturally promiscuous? Did she ever have a true boyfriend / finance / husband? Did she ever have a child?

Thanks in advance for your replies.
