Mara Wilson Career

Career

Wilson became interested in acting after watching her older brother Danny appear in television commercials when she was five years old. Her parents were initially disinclined, but eventually agreed to move her. She was invited to audition for the 1993 comedy film Mrs. Doubtfire after appearing in many commercials for companies including Lunchables, Bank of America, Texaco, and Marshalls. Natalie Hillard's role as a producer was adored by producers, who subsequently named her as the actress of Natalie Hillard. She appeared in Miracle on 34th Street the following year.

Wilson appeared on Melrose Place in 1994 as Nikki Petrova, and Barbara Barton appeared in the television film A Time to Heal. At the 67th Academy Awards broadcast on March 27, 1995, she sang "Make Laugh" with Tim Curry and Kathy Najimy. In 1995, she received the ShoWest Award for Young Star of the Year.

Wilson's film work attracted Danny DeVito, who appeared as the leading protagonist Matilda Wormwood in the 1996 film Matilda. She was nominated for three accolades for her appearance in a comedy film, including the YoungStar Award for Best Performance by a Young Actress in a Comedian Film. She appeared in A Simple Wish with Martin Short in 1997. Despite being nominated for three honors, the film received mainly critical feedback from critics.

Wilson appeared on What Dreams May Come in 1997, but she did not get the role. Lindsay Lohan was rejected for the 1998 remake of Disney's The Parent Trap, but she was given the lead after she was deemed too young. Willow Johnson appeared in The Wonderful World of Disney's 1999 film titled Balloon Farm, based on a fiction book.

Wilson appeared in Thomas and the Magic Railroad, her last film, in 2000. She resigned from film shortly afterward. She was given a script for Donnie Darko, a 2001 film, but she declined to audition for the film. She began doing stage acting after being pulled out of film acting. A Midsummer Night's Dream and Cinderella are among her theater credits. Weren't You That Girl appeared on her own live shows as well.

and What Are You Afraid Of?

Wilson appeared briefly on Bitty in one episode of a web series called Missed Connection in 2012, and made special appearances on internet review shows for That Guy with the Glasses, the most notable of which was a comedic interpretation of Matilda in The Nostalgia Chick, Lindsay Ellis' analysis of Matilda. "Film acting is not amusing," she said in a previous year. Doing the same thing over and over again until the director's eyes says you 'get it right' does not allow for much creative autonomy. The best times on film sets were when the producer allowed me to express myself, but those were rare."

Wilson wrote an article for Cracked.com in May 2013 in which she expressed her dissatisfaction with the delinquency of several former child actors. As of 2013, she worked for Publicolor. Sheeple's performance was created for the New York International Fringe Festival in 2013. Wilson said in an interview in December that her film acting days are over and that she is instead focusing on writing.

Her book Where Am I Now?

On September 13, 2016, True Stories of Girlhood and Accidental Fame was published.

Wilson appears on the podcast Welcome to Night Vale as "The Faceless Old Woman Who Secretly Lives in Your House" as well as her own storytelling program called "What Are You Afraid Of?" She made a brief return to television in a Mrs. Doubtfire-inspired episode of Broad City in which she played a waitress while a comedic Heimlich scene from the film was re-enacted. In season 3 of BoJack Horseman, she also voiced Jill Pill, a writer/director anthropomorphic spider. In Big Hero 6: The Series, she portrayed Liv Amara/Diane "Di" Amara.

Nancy Cartwright, a young Wilson, was the inspiration for a character's voice on the episode "Bart Sells His Soul."
