Lillian Colon:
Although it was beautifully maintained, everyday my thoughts were consumed with how to get out of there. I ran away often, first when I was five years old and several times after that. But somehow I was always spotted and brought back before I could get too far away. In that phase of my life, identifying with Little Orphan Annie and her hard knock life, kept me motivated and inspired. Although my hard knocks were real and there wasn’t a Daddy Warbucks in my future.
Getting from a Bronx orphanage to the Great Stage of Radio City Music Hall was not a linear path. There were ups and downs. But I kept moving forward no matter how tough it was. I’d comb every trade paper for an open call, for any chance to audition. Rejection after rejection, I finally landed a contract in September 1973. I was cast as an ensemble dancer for the bus and truck tour of the Broadway revival of No, No Nanette.
