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 little girl who is far too good to be true. At age five-and-a-half she's knocking off double-digit multiplication problems and blitz-reading Dickens.Even more remarkably, her classmates love her even though she's a super-nerd and the teacher's pet. But everything is not perfect in Matilda's world.atilda is basically a child prodigy; she is 4 years old and a voracious reader. That is amazing, I know! But, Matilda is not the only character. There are the tyrannical parents who do not encourage reading, do not have a shred of love or sympathy for Matilda and basically hate Matilda for some unknown reason.
