Mara Wilson's character in the movie Matilda stood out for her magical powers that allowed her to get out of any difficulty. Released in August 1996 in the United States, the film portrayed Matilda as a sweet girl with a peculiar sense of humor.
Although Matilda is one of Mara Wilson's most successful films, the actress made her film debut at the age of 6 in Mrs. Doubtfire, alongside Robin Williams. Now, at 37, she remains active on social media.
Mara Wilson rose to fame 28 years ago with Matilda, maintaining her angelic appearance but showing that she has moved beyond her role as a child prodigy. The cast of the film included Danny DeVito as Harry Wormwood, Rhea Perlman as Zinnia Wormwood, Embeth Davidtz as Miss Honey, and Pam Ferris as Agatha Trunchbull.
One of Matilda's most characteristic features was her classic red ribbon in her hair, which gave the character an angelic charm. Mara Wilson's performance as the sweet girl who stood up to unpleasant parents and a cruel school principal made her a movie icon from a young age.
