‘LITTLE WOMEN’ OPENS CHRISTMAS DAY – VISIT THE MASSACHUSETTS LOCATIONS WHERE THIS CLASSIC STORY WAS FILMED, INCLUDING CRANE BEACH!

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

Made in Massachusetts! Don’t miss the terrific article by Regina Cole in this month’s issue of Forbes Magazine. Regina highlights many of the Massachusetts locations and historical homes where Little Women was filmed. Unlike the previous seven versions of Little Women, which were filmed on sound stages, Director Greta Gerwig’s film was shot at places where the Alcott family lived, at Orchard House in Concord, and Fruitlands Museum in Harvard. Crane Beach, Castle Hill, and the Lyman Estate also set the stage for this classic and beloved tale.

Movie Info: Writer-director Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird) has crafted a Little Women that draws on both the classic novel and the writings of Louisa May Alcott, and unfolds as the author’s alter ego, Jo March, reflects back and forth on her fictional life. In Gerwig’s take, the beloved story of the March sisters – four young women each determined to live life on her own terms — is both timeless and timely. Portraying Jo, Meg, Amy, and Beth March, the film stars Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, Eliza Scanlen, with Timothée Chalamet as their neighbor Laurie, Laura Dern as Marmee, and Meryl Streep as Aunt March.

Since graduating from Mass. College of Art in 1970, Liz Fletcher has worked in clay as a sculptor, potter, and teacher. She is an exhibiting member of the NH Art Association and the League of NH Craftsmen, showing her work around New England and as far as Georgia, Texas, and the state of Washington. Living in the woods, Fletcher became concerned about human impacts on the land. After getting a Masters degree in Resource Management at Antioch New England, she assisted the Nashua River Watershed Association with open space planning, coordinating their Greenway program to protect the rivers of the region. “The wonders of the natural world inspire me, as do the absurdities of the human condition, which is often not beautiful but sometimes humorous! People often sense a narrative quality in my work — the images speak, telling stories. Life forms fascinate me. I love to shape clay into creatures and strange beings whose combinations of human, beast, and bone embody the interpenetration of the natural and human worlds, of geologic time and daily life. We’re all in it together — voyaging in this great mysterious universe.”
