In the early 1990s, everyone loved Mara Wilson, the child actor who was famous for roles in family movies like Mrs. Doubtfire and Miracle on 34th Street.

Mara Wilson, who turned 37 on July 24, seemed like she was on her way to great success.

But as she grew up and stopped being seen as “cute,” she disappeared from the big screen.

She says, “Hollywood was burned out on me.

If you’re not cute anymore, if you’re not beautiful, then you are worthless.”

In 1993, when she was just five years old, Mara Wilson won the hearts of many people with her role as Robin Williams’ youngest child in Mrs. Doubtfire.

Before that, the California-born star had appeared in commercials. Her big break came when she was cast in one of the biggest comedy hits in Hollywood.

Mara Wilson, now 37, said, “My parents were proud of me, but they kept me grounded. If I ever got too full of myself and said something like, ‘I’m the greatest!’ my mother would remind me, ‘You’re just an actor. You’re just a kid.’”

After her big break, she got the role of Susan Walker in the 1994 movie Miracle on 34th Street. This was the same role that Natalie Wood played in the 1947 version.

In an essay for The Guardian, Wilson talked about her audition for Miracle on 34th Street. She read her lines for the production team and mentioned that she didn’t believe in Santa Claus, but she did believe in the tooth fairy and had named hers after Sally Field, who played her mom in Mrs. Doubtfire.
