She had a rich imagination and often her stories became melodramas that she and her sisters would act out for friends.  Louisa preferred to play the \"lurid\" parts in these plays --\"the villains, ghosts, bandits, and disdainful queens.\"\r\n\r\nAt age 15, troubled by the poverty that plagued her family, she vowed:   \"I will do something by and by.  Don\u2019t care what, teach, sew, act, write -- anything to help the family; and I\u2019ll be rich and famous and happy before I die, see if I won\u2019t!\""}, "type": {"key": "/type/author"}, "photos": [6377476], "personal_name": "Louisa May Alcott", "latest_revision": 30, "revision": 30, "created": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2008-04-01T03:28:50.625462"}, "last_modified": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2026-01-05T23:01:13.047673"}}
