Mara Wilson

If you grew up in the 1990s, you’d definitely remember Mara Wilson. Her most popular film roles were the adorable Natalie in Mrs. Doubtfire and the intelligent Matilda Wormwood in Matilda. She was a successful child star that was sure to star in more films, but that changed when she decided to retire to focus on something a little more reliable….

That’s right; Mara Wilson retired from acting to pursue a career in writing. She has a talent for storytelling that can be utilized in her new job. Mara was never focused on fame, and the transition from being in the spotlight to living a quiet life has been surprisingly easy for her. Mara’s most popular book is entitled Where Am I Now? True Stories of Girlhood and Accidental Fame.
