Matilda is where my mind went the moment I saw her photo.

Interesting to read what life choices and directions she made. I wonder if her acting at this young age was her own choice.

My first thought was Matilda!! But yes, Mrs Doubtfire too. It’s always interesting to hear from child stars and the impact that fame/acting has had on their life. Good on her for living a normal life.

Wow. All grown up and still with that beautiful smile. I’m glad she left acting because she didn’t enjoy it anymore and didn’t hang around just for the money.

Wow, she’s all grown up. I remember her from Mrs Doubtfire and Matilda. Good on her for following a path that’s important to her. Many child actors suffer burnout, so it’s great she found another passion in work.

Great she was able to break free from a role she didn’t like and follow the desires of her own heart to find a job at Publicolor.

Awesome work. I often wonder what child stars do when they grow up and it is nice to see her doing something like she is.
