Yeah also I think it might have something to do not so much with acting itself, but pursuing it as a career. It wasn't seen as an honorable thing to do - you're not really contributing to society. Also later, as in the United States, acting was a lowly profession. It was for vaudevillians who were usually from lower classes and the sort of gypsy lifestyle wouldn't lend itself to a respectable upbringing.. I'm totally winging this btw - no research behind what I'm saying.
