222:- "Daddy" Warbucks has become a cultural icon, as has Little Orphan Annie. Warbucks is referred to in many colloquialisms and is generally considered to be a substitute for any rich person. A Google search shows 90,000 hits and though some are myspace pages or others trying to cash in on the ubiquitous knowledge of Daddy Warbucks' name, most refer to the fictional character. This character appears in at least three separate arts media (Musical Theatre, Movies, Comic Strips).
