Mara Wilson Biography

Mara Wilson, widely recognized for her early roles in cinematic classics such as "Mrs. Doubtfire" and "Matilda," is a former child star and now actor and writer. After a deliberate 12-year hiatus from the screen, she re-emerged in 2012, focusing her talents predominantly on web series, making special appearances on shows, and having a recurring role on the popular podcast "Welcome to Night Vale." Wilson's return to the spotlight also included voice work, most notably as Liv Amara/Diane 'Di' Amara in "Big Hero 6: The Series" and Jill Pill in the critically acclaimed "BoJack Horseman."

Alongside her return to acting, Wilson developed a successful career as a writer. In addition to writing articles for platforms such as Cracked.com, her memoir "Where Am I Now?: True Stories of Girlhood and Accidental Fame" was met with considerable acclaim. Wilson has also written a short-form memoir in an ebook and audiobook format on the platform Scribd titled "Good Girls Don't." Her experiences as a child star and her decision to leave acting have provided her with a unique perspective, which she generously shares through her writing and public appearances. Wilson has since opened up about being sexualized by the public as a child actor and how the way she was treated and the culture of the industry fed into her body image issues.

In 2022 on "Big Bang Theory" star Mayim Bialik's podcast, "Mayim Bialik's Breakdown," Wilson opened up about her own mental health struggles, speaking on her body dysmorphia and OCD. Using her own experience to help others, Wilson's commitment to advocacy is evident through her collaboration with Project UROK, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting teens with mental illness.
