Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Mara Wilson" in English language version.
As soon as I'd hit puberty, it had become okay for strangers to discuss my body. Every time I stumbled across an article about myself, every fear I had about my pubescent body was confirmed: I was 'ugly,' which as a woman, made me useless, or I was 'cute,' which made me an object. I was 'grown up,' which made me vulnerable. Because I was a child actor, my body was public domain.
I learned I would be talking to reporters all day. Working on my birthday wasn't new to me — I had celebrated my eighth birthday on the set of "Matilda" and my ninth filming 'A Simple Wish' — but this was still disappointing.
Last week, a grown man tweeted a photo of Millie dressed up for a premiere noting that the actress 'just grew up in front of our eyes,' and Mara says that it made her feel 'sick' and 'furious.'
