"You might know her best as Matilda, or the youngest daughter in Mrs. Doubtfire, but Mara Wilson is all grown up now. In her new memoir, Where Am I Now? she thoughtfully traces her journey from child actress to Hollywood dropout to average college student (with a slightly above-average Twitter following). Wilson is uncommonly self-aware as she reflects on losing her mother to cancer, no longer passing as “cute” in Hollywood and learning to let go of — and thank — the iconic character of Matilda. In doing so, she also answers another question: Who is she now? She’s a writer."
