Little Women (1949)An early adaptation of the story, with Margaret playing Beth, which role would seem better suited for an older and a more serious actress.
Margaret plays Beth in this 1949 adaptation of the classic book. I can't
help comparing her to Claire Danes' fantastic performance in the 1994 version, and it's
impossible to live up to those standards. Claire makes an extraordinarily
soft and gentle Beth, while Margaret seems better suited for lively and
humorous characters. Also, Margaret is only 12 in this role, but the role
seems better suited for a slightly older actress. Nonetheless, I still
liked Margaret's portrayal of Beth, and the reasonably varied role will be
of interest to any fan of hers.
