Wait weren’t they her shitty parents in Matilda?

Yep! It was right after filming it, actually.

What’s even better is that Maras mother LOVED the book Matilda. She loved it so much that she got her daughter the part, however she died before she got to see it. Or so Mara thought. Apparently just a few weeks before she died Danny Devito went in to the hospital with a rough first edit of the movie and got to let her watch it before she passed.

It’s kind of hillarious that Danny Devito has made a career out of playing assholes and weirdoes when in real life, he’s actually a Precious Cinammon Roll <3

Like there’s something just Adorably Odd at picturing him being such a sweetie because when I see him/hear his voice the first thing I think of is either the Penguin from Batman Returns or Frank Reynolds

He’s also a huge advocate for various social justice causes and an avowed campaigner for socialism.
