Title: Where Am I Now?: True Stories of Girlhood and Accidental Fame
Author: Mara Wilson
Copyright: 2016 Paperback
Source: Library
published description: A former child actor best known for her starring roles in Matilda and Mrs. Doubtfire,
Mara Wilson has always felt a little young and out of place: as the
only kid on a film set full of adults, the first daughter in a house
full of boys, a Valley girl in New York and a neurotic in California,
and a grown-up the world still remembers as a little girl. Tackling
everything from what she learned about sex on the set of Melrose Place,
to discovering in adolescence that she was no longer “cute” enough for
Hollywood, these essays chart her journey from accidental fame to
relative (but happy) obscurity. They also illuminate universal
struggles, like navigating love and loss, and figuring out who you are
and where you belong. Candid, insightful, moving, and hilarious, Where Am I Now? introduces Mara Wilson as a brilliant new chronicler of the experience that is growing up female.
Was good... seeing the 'cute' little girl go thru all the awkward stages, as well as real anxieties to become a really interesting woman.
