You’ve gotta feel sorry for the 1994 version that we’re starting here, because who wants to go up against Meryl Streep? But the truth is that Mary Wickes, who played the dowager role in the earlier movie, was a force in her own right. At the time of filming, Wickes had been acting for 50 years, building up a résumé of character work, and she was ho...
See what I mean when I said both casts were all killer, no filler? The Laura Dern and Susan Sarandon of 2019 both have enviable careers. It’s hard to beat the #dernaissance, the hot streak that Dern has been on over the past few years with two seasons of Big Little Lies, the Twin Peaks revival, a Star Wars movie, and more. Sarandon, when not sparri...
Eliza Scanlen played rollerblading town princess Amma Crellin in last summer’s Sharp Objects, and there couldn’t have been a juicier, creepier role for the Australian actress’s introduction to American audiences. Another good get for Gerwig, even though that character is a far cry from Beth March. But by the time Little Women comes out, Sharp Objec...
Trini Alvarado, 1994’s Meg, already had roles in a few movies (including one of Armstrong’s) but was a fairly fresh face by the time she starred in Little Women. (As for what ever happened to her, she’s acted here and there but sadly never became the second coming of Andie MacDowell she had the potential to be.) Then there’s Emma Watson, who is not...
Gabriel Byrne was already a known entity in Hollywood by 1994. His most acclaimed performance at that point was in 1990’s Miller’s Crossing, and he had a busy year leading up to Little Women, starring in A Simple Twist of Fate and Trial by Jury, separating from wife Ellen Barkin, and signing a first-look deal with Miramax. An Australian paper summe...
In the 1994 movie, the role of Amy was split between two actresses, Kirsten Dunst for Amy at age 12 and Samantha Mathis for Amy at age 16, whereas the 2019 version seems to have Florence Pugh riding solo in the part. On the basis of numbers alone, I question this decision. If what the new Little Women is promising us is “every single famous person ...
Christian Bale was a phenomenal Laurie, and long live the famous strand of saliva. But. Some of what makes watching Bale’s Laurie so incredible now is that Bale, then a cult star—Eric Stoltz, who played his tutor, John, in the movie, was then actually the more high-profile of the two—went on to become massively famous later on. In 1994, Bale was th...
This is it, the final faceoff, and it’s a hard one: We’ve got someone who is basically synonymous with the decade of the ’90s, Winona Ryder, versus Lady Bird herself, Saoirse Ronan. Who was the more anticipated Jo? Let’s take a look back at Winona Ryder’s standing circa 1994: She started that year with Reality Bites, the Gen X touchstone, and the p...
A few more roles to consider: Gerwig’s Little Women also finds parts for Bob Odenkirk, Tracy Letts, and Chris Cooper. The 1994 version had no comparable trio of beloved middle-aged and older actors. But as previously mentioned, in 1994’s ledger had Stoltz, who was a big deal at the time. Knight Ridder called him the “most-employed actor of ’94,” an...
