In Little Women, Louisa May Alcott wrote that Laurie has "curly black hair, black eyes and brown skin", but Laurie has never been played by a brown-skinned actor. In this episode you will also learn about Laurie's relationship with his grandfather and the loss of his parents. How Hollywood has actively erased major parts of Laurie's personality, such as his vanity and temper, things that also play major roles in his character arc, and why he moves on from Jo to Amy. Once again, this is something that is completely erased from Little Women films between 1933 and 2019.
