Who should NOT take NAMENDA XR? NAMENDA XR should not be taken by anyone who is allergic (hypersensitive) to memantine, the active substance in NAMENDA XR, or who has had a bad reaction to NAMENDA XR or any of its ingredients.

What should I discuss with the healthcare provider before taking NAMENDA XR? Before starting NAMENDA XR, talk to the healthcare provider about all of your past and present medical conditions, including: • Seizure disorders • Difficulty passing urine • Liver or kidney problems If you are taking other medications (including those without a prescription), ask the healthcare provider if NAMENDA XR is right for you.

• Use caution when taking Namenda XR with other medications. Certain medications, changes in diet, or medical conditions may affect the amount of NAMENDA XR in the body and possibly increase side effects.

• If you have forgotten to take NAMENDA XR for several days, do not take the next dose until you have talked to your healthcare professional.

What if I take more NAMENDA XR capsules than I should?

If you accidentally take more NAMENDA XR capsules than you should, inform your healthcare professional that you have accidentally taken more NAMENDA XR than you should have. You may require medical attention. Some people who have accidentally taken too much memantine have experienced dizziness, unsteadiness, weakness, tiredness, confusion, as well as other symptoms.

task. But stepping into a role in such a beloved story did give him pause. Familiar with the 1982 version of Annie, starring Aileen Quinn and Carol Burnett (which he calls “dope”), he says, “It was surreal growing up and getting to play Daddy Warbucks.”

Diaz, however, says making a musical was a challenge. “I’m terrified of singing in front of people,” she admits. “It’s one of my big fears. Singing in front of people and heights are the two things that really terrify me. So I’ve jumped out of airplanes and scaled sides of mountains to get over my fear of heights. With singing, I decided to do a musical and put myself out to the entire world.”

The vibe during the production of Annie wasn’t that far from the theme of the movie: It was all about family. Foxx’s

5-year-old daughter, Annalise, was a recurring visitor to the set; director Will Gluck Caption often brought his wife and young daughters to work to ask them what they thought about how the movie was going; and Wallis’s mother was in regular attendance during filming.

Quvenzhané Wallis stars in the new Annie with Despite Gluck’s modernization of Cameron Diaz (top) this story, Annie’s themes of family and Jamie Foxx (above). and the desire to be loved are universal. That’s something that Foxx picked up on when he watched rapper and music mogul Jay-Z, one of the film’s producers, perform a version of one of the movie’s songs earlier this year at a star-packed Super Bowl party.

“When he started doing ‘Hard-Knock Life,’ people of all ages and all colors went crazy,” Foxx says.

When people go crazy this Christmas for Annie, it’s because the story resonates in a way that’s deeper than the music, or the characters, or the actors who play them. “To be able to have family together, to be happy and healthy—it’s the simple things in life that we have to hold on to,” Foxx says. “Because at the end of the day if everyone can be happy and healthy, that’s more than enough.”

“It’s one of those stories that reaches people.

You want Annie to find somebody who wants to love her, who will give her a home and take care of her.”

—Cameron Diaz

cluding “my family, my toys, being able to live in a house, and all the stuff that I am able to do now, like go to a nice school.”

With her long list of hit film credits, from bit parts to major roles in Gangs of New York, Bad Teacher, The Green Hornet and There’s Something About Mary, Diaz, 42, drew on her own experiences with the up-and-down rollercoaster of fame to relate to her character’s show business struggles.

“I am just so grateful for every single breath, to tell you the truth,” says the Long Beach, Calif., native. “I feel nothing should be taken for granted, nothing. I just have gratitude for everything. So my motto is ‘Gratitude is the only attitude.’

I try to give gratitude every day for every little bit of everything in my life.”

For Foxx, who won an Academy Award for his portrayal of Ray Charles in Ray, another musical role was not a daunting

YEARS Coming 90 years after the “little orphan” made her debut as a syndicated newspaper comicstrip character, director Will Gluck’s new movie brings another chapter of the beloved popcultural icon to big-screen life.

» Little Orphan Annie creator Harold Gray took his character’s name from an 1885 poem, “Little Orphant Annie,” by James Whitcomb Riley. » Annie’s benefactor, bald businessman “Daddy” Warbucks, originally made his fortune in WWI munitions manufacturing. » Annie made the leap from newsprint to radio in 1930, sponsored by the flavored milk supplement Ovaltine—a product endorsement memorably given a nod in the 1983 movie A Christmas Story.

» Hollywood first made Little Orphan Annie into a movie in 1932 with Ann Gillis— whose final movie role, many years later, would be as astronaut Poole’s mother, singing “Happy Birthday to You,” in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Another film followed in 1938, starring Mitzi Green. » Annie’s adventures in her newspaper strip took her

around the world dealing with crime, corruption and moral and ethical dilemmas throughout much of the 20th century, until it was finally canceled in 2010.

» Young Andrea McArdle played Annie on Broadway in the musical Annie, which won seven Tony Awards and ran from 1977 to 1983. Reid Shelton portrayed Daddy Warbucks, and Dorothy Loudon was Miss Hannigan. » Annie, the 1982 movie version of the Broadway musical, starred Albert Finney, Carol Burnett, Tim Curry and Aileen Quinn as Annie.

It received Academy Award nominations for its production design and score. Disney released a madefor-TV moviemusical remake, with Kathy Bates, Victor Garber, Kristin Chenoweth and newcomer Alicia Morton, in 1999. » Life After Tomorrow, a 2006 documentary, brought together some 40 men and women— including Sarah Jessica Parker and Molly Ringwald—who played orphans in various Broadway, off-Broadway and touring productions to reflect on how being in Annie as children changed their lives.

24-inch bicycle when I was like 10 years old. We didn’t have a whole lot of money, so I thought about the sacrifice they made.

The thing about it was, I had to ride that 10-speed until I was out of high school and in college.”

Annie could have been a hardknock story of another kind if the perfect young actress to play the title role hadn’t been found.

A casting call went out for a girl who could portray Annie’s sunny outlook on life, but at the same time convey Big Apple street smarts. It’s a tall order for a 10-year-old, but Wallis, the youngest person ever nominated for a Best Actress Oscar for 2012’s Beasts of the Southern Wild, managed to do both.

Now 11, the Houma, La., native sees several similarities between herself and Annie. “We both go for it, we both keep doing what we want to do, and we both are very strong,” she says.

And like Annie, Wallis appreciates the blessings in her life, in-

Debbie Gibson, Molly Ringwald and Catherine Zeta-Jones. The show has been translated into 28 languages and staged in 34 countries. “Tomorrow,” one of the most-performed songs in Broadway history, has been a concert staple for dozens of singers, including Barbra Streisand, Johnny Mathis, Grace Jones and Idina Menzel.

A big-budget Hollywood adaptation first brought singing, dancing Broadway Annie to the screen in 1982. Now the brand-new movie, starring Diaz, Jamie Foxx and Quvenzhané Wallis as the little orphan, gives it a 21st-century spin.

The new movie updates the Broadway plot but keeps the Annie essentials: Annie, deserted by her parents, ends up in foster care with mean Miss Hannigan, who has taken in several girls as a way of paying the bills. Daddy Warbucks has morphed into Will Stacks (Foxx), a hard-nosed, self-made billionaire businessman running for mayor of New York. When Stacks pulls Annie from the path of a 1982

ntemporary update in a star-packed rt-tugging themes are timeless.

vehicle on a busy New York street and a photo of his “heroism” goes viral, his poll numbers spike—and Annie suddenly becomes an even bigger part of his campaign, and his life.

Raised in a segregated sector of the small Texas town of Terrell, Foxx, 47, who was officially adopted by his maternal grandparents when he was 7 months old, understands a man like Stacks, who has had to make his own way in the world—because Foxx did, too. And while Stacks thinks he’s on the road to happiness with his wealth and his political prowess, he soon learns that what really matters is something else entirely.

Foxx, whose movie résumé includes Django Unchained, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and White House Down, remembers one “hardknock” Christmas in particular. “The best gift I ever received was from my grandparents,” he says. “It was a Free Spirit, 10-speed, NOVEMBER 30, 2014 | 9

ne of pop culture’s most iconic characters is more than 90 years old—but she doesn’t look a day over 11.

That’s because Little Orphan Annie will always be eternally young, an ever-optimistic, sun-will-come-up-tomorrow kind of gal, dancing, singing and spreading sunshine wherever she goes.

And on Dec. 19 she’ll be going into movie theaters everywhere, as a new star-packed Annie movie based on the hit Broadway musical opens on the big screen.

“I think it’s just one of those stories that reaches people,” says Cameron Diaz, who plays Miss Hannigan, one of the new Annie’s central characters. “People are drawn to it because you want to have Annie find someplace where she doesn’t have to take care of herself, where she doesn’t have to fight, that she gets to find somebody who wants to love her, and who will give her a home and take care of her.”

1977

1924

1938

Annie was born a comic-strip character in the New York Daily News in 1924, with a series of evolving plots following the spunky little orphan, her loyal dog Sandy and her wealthy benefactor “Daddy” Warbucks. Widely popular throughout the ’20s and ’30s, Little Orphan Annie was later adapted for radio and movies. Decades later, in the 1980s, it became a Tony-sweeping Broadway smash, which spun out into numerous national and international touring versions and is still staged in thousands of high school and community theater productions today.

Broadway launched Annie to vibrant life in a magnificent way, through grandly popular signature songs—like “Tomorrow” and “It’s the Hard-Knock Life”—and star-spangled performances by a long list of stars in its leading and supporting roles, including Glee’s Jane Lynch, British actor Tim Curry, Sarah Jessica Parker, ’80s pop star 8 | NOVEMBER 30, 2014

Ask Marilyn

By Marilyn vos Savant

i’m a senior with impaired hearing. Where is the best location to sit in a movie house or theater to obtain the maximum auditory quality?

—Ron Santo, Canandaigua, N.Y.

Unlike concert halls, movie houses and theaters aren’t usually designed to maximize sound quality, and understanding speech requires special considerations, even for audience members with normal hearing. The main problem is often reflected sound. Very little of the sound from the speakers is heard directly.

Nearly all of it is reflected before it reaches our ears, and the material doing the reflecting makes an enormous difference. It can either help or greatly hinder our comprehension of words.

Venues vary, but a good guess is a seat on the ground floor about two-thirds back from the screen or stage.

5 Things You MIGHT NOT Know About

What has Elizabeth Perkins been doing since Weeds was canceled?

—Jim G., Baltimore

A: After the Showtime series wrapped, Perkins, 54, starred in the shortlived comedy How to Live with Your Parents (For the Rest of Your Life).

Now she goes for drama Dec. 5 in the Sundance TV special One Child, the story of an adopted Chinese woman abandoned as a baby who returns as an adult to her birthplace to meet her biological mother. “I just love the idea that you’ve got two different sides of motherhood in one piece that examines the extremes on both sides,” she says.

Girls star Allison Williams has landed the coveted title role in NBC’s upcoming musical Peter Pan Live! airing Thursday, Dec. 4.

Do you have any Peter Pan memories from your childhood? “My grandparents used to babysit me, and to get me to take a bath, my grandmother would say that she would ‘sew my shadow on’ [which Wendy does to Peter after his shadow is ‘captured’] in the bath. She’d use dental floss and a toothpick as a needle and thread.”

Your dad [anchor Brian Williams] was so proud when he made the announcement on the NBC Nightly News.

“I was so moved by it. He called me that day and said, ‘Assume that I’m going to say something in the show, but I’m not going to tell you what. Is that OK with you?’ I was like, ‘Yeah, sure.’ [Seeing it] made me tear up.”

Q: What’s next for one of my favorite actresses, Anne Heche?

—Jeannie A., Phoenix A: Stay close to your TV— because Heche, 45, stars tonight in the Hallmark Hall of Fame movie One Christmas Eve, in which she plays a newly divorced mother doing her all to make the perfect holiday for her two children. Instead, she encounters a series of mishaps through which she makes new

Do you consider yourself a shower singer, or have you taken vocal lessons for this role?

“I’ve been singing my whole life.

I grew up taking voice lessons, I sang all through college and I’ve been singing a little bit on Girls.”

How are you doing with flying?

“It’s hard to make it look like magic—which is, of course, the goal—and it’s hard to make it look like I’m not being pulled by something, but instead, that I am propelling myself into the air. It’s been great to get into the body of a reckless boy.”
