Little Women has a bit of an interesting history to it. Originally appearing as a two-volume book written by Louisa May Alcott, the book was adapted into a silent drama film in 1918, which is today deemed lost—no longer known to exist in any archives or personal collections. In the 1918 version, Isabel Lamon played the role of Meg.

The earliest available Little Women film by default is the 1933 adaptation of the same name, where Meg is played by Frances Dee. Two other films came after this, one in 1949 and the other in 1994, where the role of Meg was played by Janet Leigh and Trini Alvarado respectively. The most recent one from 2019 starred Emma Watson as Meg.
