That leads us to the star character herself. Mara Wilson played Matilda Wormwood after her previous breakout roles in both Mrs. Doubtfire (1993) and Miracle on 34th Street (1994). Her portrayal of genius and telekinetic Matilda, who was both kindhearted and a bit mischievous, aligned in many ways with her prior roles.
Matilda is a genius: by age four she has read all the books in the children's section of her local library, and moved on to Dickens, Austen, and Hemingway. She can also do advanced math in her head and has a sophisticated understanding of the world.atilda is an excellent book by the famous author, Roald Dahl, who also wrote Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach and The Twits.
