Let's make this birthday one to remember.

37 years old (Born on July 24, 1987)

Happy birthday, Mara Wilson! From charming us as the precocious Natalie in "Mrs. Doubtfire" to inspiring generations of bookworms with your unforgettable portrayal of Matilda Wormwood, you've always had a knack for making magic happen—whether it's on screen or through your brilliant writing.

These days you're captivating readers instead of levitating chalkboards (though we wouldn't mind seeing that again!). Your insightful essays and witty commentary continue to delight fans old and new. Here's hoping this year brings you plenty more cake—and fewer Trunchbulls!

Wishing you laughter-filled adventures ahead; may every chapter be even better than chocolate cake at Crunchem Hall!
