Her incredible popularity, can be attributed to Annie’s success in several mediums. Newspaper comic strips, comic books and from 1930 forward, A Top Rated Radio Show. Orphan Annie’s Show, featured this bushy-haired dynamo, engaging in children’s activities, with the help of other youngsters. She, and her pals, were often chasing pirates, gangsters and other undesirables. Her huge audience, couldn’t get enough.   Ovaltine, was the radio show’s sponsor.
