In the book, Matilda, most of the adult characters are not presented in the best light. Usually kids look up to adults, learn from them, and depend on them–but the kids in Matilda cannot count on Matilda’s parents or the headmistress, Miss Trunchbull. Thankfully, Miss Jennifer Honey is different. She is a breath of fresh air and a beacon of hope for Matilda. In case you don’t remember, a beacon is a highly visible light that’s set up for warning people or, in this case, for guiding people.
She ended up rescuing Matilda from her family and adopting her. She was a hero.
She looked young when she first appeared as Miss Honey back in 1996, but now, 20 years later, she still looks so fresh and youthful.
She’s now 50 years old and is still acting in movies, seen most recently in The Amazing Spider-Man 1 and 2 as Mary Parker, alongside Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone.
