Luckily, Mara Wilson's disenchantment with acting left her time to find other passions. Writing became a real love of hers and she eventually made a career out of it. Her first book titled Where Am I Now was released in 2016 and is a memoir of her childhood in Hollywood (via Penguin Random House). "Making up stories and telling stories, and telling true stories, has always been what I wanted to do, and it is what I am still doing," Wilson told NPR at the time.
We're always thrilled to hear about a childhood actor who has found post-puberty success in other arenas outside of acting. But Wilson hasn't strayed too far away from her Hollywood roots. Along with her writing career, she dabbles in voice acting. And in the same year she released her book, she voiced Jill Pill on the animated series BoJack Horseman and Liv Amara in Big Hero 6: The Series. Who knows if Wilson will ever step in front of the camera again, though. We're just happy we have the classics, Matilda and Mrs. Doubtfire, for future generations of children (and us adults, let's be real) to enjoy.
