Last week, child star Mara Wilson reunited with her co-stars from the 1996 blockbuster film Matilda. Earlier this year, Wilson wrote a piece for TheaterMania, “Being Matilda,” in honor of Matilda the Musical‘s Broadway debut. “I had a great time filming Matilda,” she said. “Danny DeVito understood, the same as Roald Dahl, that children like to be empowered.” It looks like she is enjoying her cast just as much 17 years later.
