Child star Mara Wilson, 37, left Hollywood after ‘Matilda’ as she was ‘not cute anymore’

Mara Wilson captured hearts in the early 1990s with roles in Mrs. Doubtfire and Miracle on 34th Street. However, as she grew older, Hollywood lost interest. “If you’re not cute anymore, if you’re not beautiful, then you are worthless,” Wilson said.

Despite her early fame, Wilson struggled with the pressures of stardom, especially after her mother’s death from breast cancer in 1996. “Most of the time, I just wanted to be a normal kid, especially after my mother died,” she shared.

At 11, she reluctantly took her final major role in Thomas and the Magic Railroad, but by her teenage years, the roles had dried up. “Hollywood was burned out on me,” she noted.

Wilson eventually shifted to writing, publishing Where Am I Now? in 2016, reflecting on her experiences as a child star. “Being cute just made me miserable,” she admitted.

Though her time in the spotlight ended, Wilson has found fulfillment in writing and has embraced her journey from fame to obscurity.
