Wilson’s charming smirk and sweet voice always had the audience on her side.
Doubtfire, there is no doubt that Wilson kept charming her fans right up until her early retirement.
And we do mean early!

Thelast time we saw her adorable dimplesflashing on screen was in her role inThomas and the Magic Railroadin 2000.
So why did Wilson check out so early?
Writing became a real love of hers and she eventually made a career out of it.

We’re always thrilled to hear about achildhood actorwho has found post-puberty success in other arenas outside of acting.
But Wilson hasn’t strayed too far away from her Hollywood roots.
Along with her writing career, she dabbles in voice acting.
Who knows if Wilson will ever step in front of the camera again, though.
We’re just happy we have the classics,MatildaandMrs.
Doubtfire,for future generations of children (and us adults, let’s be real) to enjoy.
