Quote of the Day (Ex-Child Actor Mara Wilson, on the ‘Miracle on 34th Street’ Remake)


“It was 100 degrees out, and we were in layers of corduroy and wool. There were all these flies on set, and Elizabeth [Perkins] smashed one against a wall and then walked away, looking gorgeous and elegant, with a smashed fly on her palm. It was so gross, but it's those weird, funny memories that stick with you.”—Ex-child actor (and current writer/voice-over artist) Mara Wilson, on filming the remake of Miracle on 34th Street amid a muggy Chicago summer in 1994, quoted in Ashley Spencer, “Child Actors of Christmas Movies Past,” The New York Times, Nov. 24, 2019
