Actress Mara Wilson on How Hollywood Treat Child Stars

We recently discussed the New York Times documentary “Framing Britney Spears,” which exposed Spears' exploitation at the hands of media outlets. It’s an experience familiar to other female child stars – including Mara Wilson, a familiar face from 90s hits like “Matilda” and “Mrs. Doubtfire." The documentary prompted Wilson to write about her own experience.
