Mara Wilson, who celebrated her 37th birthday on July 24, became a beloved child star in the ’90s but eventually left Hollywood. She stepped away, feeling the industry valued her primarily for her appearance.
At just five years old, Wilson captured hearts with her role in Mrs. Doubtfire (1993) and went on to star in Miracle on 34th Street (1994) and Matilda (1996).
Her early success made her a household name, but as she grew older, she chose to distance herself from the pressures of Hollywood.
Wilson has since focused on other pursuits, stepping out of the spotlight but maintaining a strong connection with her fans.
