In the 1982 movie "Annie", Daddy Oliver Warbucks' bodyguards were Punjab and Asp - both reputed to have mystical powers and great strength.
Albert Finney played the gruff industrialist with a heart of gold and a head of skin, Oliver “Daddy” Warbucks. It was a fitting role for Finney, who grew up in working-class Manchester and rose to fame by playing gritty film roles in the 60s.
But Finney has never been one to embrace the spotlight. In fact, in 2000 he turned down an offer of knighthood for the second time. Yet his work has made him no stranger to Hollywood success, with starring roles in Erin Brockovich, Big Fish, The Bourne Ultimatum, and Skyfall.
From 2007 to 2012, Finney's presence on the big screen was limited due to a battle with prostate cancer.
"Annie" has been entertaining audiences decades now. Although it originally began as a Broadway play, the rags-to-riches tale gained fame, in large part thanks to the film version released in 1982, starring a raft of big name stars.
