Although you may not believe it, 25 years have passed since the premiere of the film “Matilda” which has already become a classic, many of us have seen it more than once, because its story manages to move us and even each character has stayed with us and has transcended to real life, as recently it was learned of a great gesture that the actor Danny DeVito made with the little actress Mara Wilson.
Although the character of Danny in the film is of a father who is not responsible and without showing affection to his daughter, the reality is different because during the recordings of the tape in 1995 the mother of little Matilda (Suzie Wilson) was in a sad situation where she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
A difficult situation in which the Wilson family found themselves to see the treatment that Suzie had to take, the physical exhaustion caused by visits to the doctor and the production with their little daughter, made them move the great actor Danny who even took care of Mara as if it were his own daughter.

Actress Mara released a book in 2016 titled “Where am I now?” where he talks about the processes of his life and of course the saddest and most painful moment when he found out that his mother had breast cancer.
At that moment, Danny DaVito’s heart was so big that in the recordings when they had some rest he and his wife Rhea Perlman took care of the little girl, took her to eat, for a walk, played with her so that at that moment she was going through with his mother will pass him a little lighter.
Many times the actress Mara said that she could not go to the hospital with her relatives, that is when Danny together with his wife returned to give them their unconditional support to take care of her at home while they vacated her mother’s visit, she remembers very well that both actors took care of her, protected her and pawed her during this process.
Unfortunately when Suzie Wilson passed away a few months before the premiere of Matilda, Mara went through a strong mourning and was also very sad because her mother had not seen her work on the film, but a short time later Danny DeVito confessed to the little girl actress who himself had given a copy to Suzie before its official premiere even knowing that it was forbidden but had to do it for both of them.
And us hating the characters of Matilda’s parents who were actually great people to them, I think I’m feeling bad about judging them.
