In 1972, Martin Charnin bought the rights to the comic strip. With Thomas Meehan and Charles Strouse, he created the Broadway musical ''Annie'' in 1977. For more about it and its spin-offs (including the 1982 film), see ''[[Annie]]''.
In 1995, ''Annie: A Royal Adventure'', a [[Made for TV Movie]] starring Ashley Johnson, aired on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]].
Despite the enduring popularity of the musical and movies, the strip itself declined in popularity after the Leonard Starr era, and [http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/2010/05/13/2010-05-13_little_orphan_gonnie_from_the_daily_news.html ended its 86-year run] in [http://www.gocomics.com/annie/2010/06/13 June of 2010], [[No Ending|in the middle]] of [[Aborted Arc|a story arc that saw Annie kidnapped in Guatemala]] and [[Downer Ending|presumed dead by Warbucks]]. After Warbucks made a few cameos in [[Dick Tracy (comic strip)|''Dick Tracy'']] on his own search for Annie, [[Crossover|a lengthy crossover arc in 2014]] saw Tracy's agency [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|team up with Warbucks to rescue Annie]], thus concluding the storyline and comic in October of 2014.
