Mara Wilson
Here is another actor who’s had bigger success than their original Christmas movie. In the 1994 version of Miracle on 34th Street, Mara Wilson played the utterly cute Susan Walker. 2 years later, Wilson appeared in her most famous role as the titular character, Matilda Wormwood, in the movie Matilda.
However, unlike some other actors on this list, Wilson took a break from acting for several years, focusing more on writing instead of being on camera. Wilson has written two books. Recently, she began acting again, and you can catch her as the voice of “the Creepy Girl” in Ollie & Scoops.
