Mara Wilson was one of the defining child actors of 1990s Hollywood, playing the title role in Matilda and starring opposite Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire and Susan Walker in the Miracle on 34th Street remake — all before she turned ten. She then stepped away from acting for over a decade to focus on writing, returning to performing later in web series and essays rather than film.
