I really thought that Meg in the books *did* have theatrical ambition, but rereading it, I see that's not there at all

I know Anne Boyd discusses in Meg, Jo, Beth, Amy how the "IRL Meg" Alcott sister had wanted to be an actress, but Alcott hadn't given book!Meg this aspiration because it wasn't ~proper~ (not sure if this was her decision or her publisher's?) although she does end up giving it to Meg's daughter Josie in Jo's Boys. I think the 2019 movie might lean into it? (Possibly comes up when Jo tries to convince Meg not to marry Brooke??? Unclear.)
