Why Mara Wilson Chose to Step Away From Hollywood After Matilda

For millions of moviegoers who grew up during the 1990s, Mara Wilson became one of the most recognizable child actors of her generation. With her expressive performances, natural charm, and memorable screen presence, she appeared in several family films that continue to be watched decades later.
