Mara Wilson disappeared from the public eye not long after 1996's Matilda. Wilson is one of the most memorable child actors from the 1990s, thanks in large part to roles in Mrs. Doubtfire and the 1994 Miracle On 34th Street remake. But of course, the role that stands out the most in Wilson's acting career is that of the titular character in Matilda.
As a child, Wilson was working with industry legends like Martin Short, Danny DeVito, and Robin Williams. She won a Young Artist Award in 1996 for her role in 1996's Matilda movie and another a year later for A Simple Wish. The star also appeared at the 1995 Academy Awards on the red carpet and as a presenter with Tim Curry. During a 1997 interview on The Rosie O'Donnell Show, the host praised Wilson for having so many acting roles under her belt at only 10 years old.
