  • Heres sweet adorable Mara on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Mara is on to promote her movie "Miracle On 34th Street". Please excuse what seems to be a few brief video glitches. This is from my collection.

    She deserves so much respect for not messing up her life with drugs and alcohol like most child actors do and considering her mom died when she was 9 years old making Matilda and she still went on like a fighter to make the Best Movie Ever, What a Legend!!!

      I agree! Mara’s voice as a little reminds me soooo much of the voice of this girl I was friends with as a child. My friend did not look like Mara at all, but she had sort of a nasal lisp voice like Mara.

      I think sometimes it’s to get a funny reaction from the kids. But other times the adult takes it past that and it becomes weird. But he didn’t seem to keep talking about it here I was so scared he was going to though 🤣

      Same. Especially girls. It hypersexualizes the relationships they have with boys. Works the same the other way around. It makes it incredibly uncomfortable growing up to keep friendships with men. As I am sure it affects men's relationship with women that are platonic.

    • @champagnemusicmaker
      @champagnemusicmaker 3 роки тому +79

      She mentioned recently in an interview how it made her uncomfortable to be talking about boyfriends at this age and how the media sexualizes girls. You can tell she’s embarrassed and Leno keeps pressing her about it. Dude, she’s in 2nd grade, why is it normal to think she’d have a boyfriend?

    So cute! I wish child stars were still like this--just down to earth and not overly precocious. Mara sounds and acts exactly like a first grader you might run into in real life--sweet, funny, and excited to talk about her family vacation. Child actors these days seem false for the most part, and too smart for their own good. I'm glad Mara appears to have been one of the few lucky ones.

    • @Rose32285
      @Rose32285 4 роки тому +13

      The way this particular actress turned out isn’t necessarily the result of the era she grew up in. There are still some down to earth child stars out there today (although I do think the increased social media outlets invade their privacy in a more unhealthy way than ever before). I think Mara had an advantage because she was encouraged to continue her education and pursue interests/passions beyond just acting (in her case, writing). That’s something that parents of child stars can (and should) still try to ensure for them. The time era they’re in has nothing to do with it.

    She became her own mother, matured at her age and so intelligent! it's a shame kids today are not like this.
