Mara is an American actress and writer, most noted for her roles in Hollywood blockbusters Mrs. Doubtfire, Miracle on 34th Street and Matilda. After appearing in a series of guest roles in numerous TV series, Mara Wilson retired from acting to pursue a writing career. Her play ‘Sheeple’ was produced in 2013 for the New York International Fringe Festival. Throughout her career, she has been nominated for, and won, several awards, including the Young Star Award for her performance in the film ‘Matilda’ and the Showest Award in 1995 for Young Star of the Year. Lately Mara has mainly enjoyed a career in voiceovers, including playing a recurring voice role in the animated series ‘BoJack Horseman’ and appearing in various web series.

She is also the author of two books: 

‘Where Am I Now?: True Stories of Girlhood and Accidental Fame’

A former child actor, Mara has always felt a little young and out of place: as the only kid on a film set full of adults, the first daughter in a house full of boys, a Valley girl in New York and a neurotic in California, and a grown-up the world still remembers as a little girl. Tackling everything from what she learned about sex on the set of Melrose Place, to discovering in adolescence that she was no longer “cute” enough for Hollywood, these essays chart her journey from accidental fame to relative (but happy) obscurity. 

Good Girls Don’t

A coming-of- age memoir that bravely examines both the friendships Wilson formed as a child actor in Hollywood and the complex family relationships that shaped her.
