Mara Wilson’s Memoir Where Am I Now? (with Ruby Karp)

Chelsea is joined by writer and performer Ruby Karp (I Don’t Trust Adults) to cover Mara Wilson’s memoir, “Where Am I Now?” They unpack this introspective and honest look at child stardom and a career in the arts, from Mara’s days on the set of “Matilda” and “Mrs. Doubtfire” to what it was like to cross paths with fellow child actors like Scarlett Johansson and Kristen Stewart, and have mentors like Robin Williams and Danny Devito. Chelsea and Ruby reflect on storytelling as survival and what it takes to make it through young fame with your wit intact.
