Mara Wilson was an actress when she was little but she isn't anymore. The last movie she was in was Thomas and the Magic Railroad. It was made in 2000. I thought she did the best in Matilda. That's one of my favorite movies and she was awesome in it. She is the star in that movie and she played Matilda, a girl with powers. I also saw her in Mrs. Doubtfire. That movie is on TV so much and she was so little in that movie and she also did good in it. SHe was in A Simple Wish. I haven't seen it in a while though.
I wish Mara would continue acting because she was so wonderful in all of her movies. My parents say that when I was little I looked just like her and acted like her. My parents said that I danced like her when she was dancing on the coffee table in Matilda. I remember in Kindergarten my friend always called me Matilda. Also just a few days ago my older cousin said that I always reminded her of Mara too. I came on this site to see what she looked like now that she is 20. I never knew she was four years older than me, I thought she was my age.
Mara Wilson is one of the best child stars of all time and I really wish she would go back into acting. She was really good in all of her movies, even when she was really little like in Mrs. Doubtfire (1993) and Miracle on 34th Street (1994). She got even better in Matilda (1996), with the title role! She is such a great actress and I wish she would get back into it. She stopped after doing Thomas and the Magic Railroad, which was released when she was 13 years old. I heard she was in a theater performance of Cinderella (playing Cinderella of course!) in August 2005 and I hope to see her in Mrs. Doubtfire 2.
