A native of California, Wilson had set her sights on becoming an actress ever since she was a child despite not having her family’s support. She started with numerous appearances in commercials before getting the role of Natalie Hillard in Mrs. Doubtfire; the film was a success and received numerous praises. She eventually received lead credits in the movies Matilda and Thomas and the Magic Railroad.
