World's smallest woman gets TV acting role


American Horror Story: Freak Show

It’s a small world after all — at least when it comes to the latest bit of casting for FX’s American Horror Story: Freak Show.

Showrunner Ryan Murphy announced via Twitter today that Jyoti Amge, 20, who holds the Guiness Book of World Records title for “world’s smallest woman,” is the “newest cast member” of FX’s outré-scary anthology series — and included a photo of the actress alongside series star Jessica Lange.

The latest edition of AHS (premiering this fall) centers on the last freak show in America circa 1952 and also stars franchise vets Sarah Paulson, Kathy Bates, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, Gabourey Sidibe and Frances Conroy. New to the mix are Michael Chiklis, playing a strongman who’s married to Bassett’s character, as well as guest stars Wes Bentley, Patti LaBelle and Finn Wittrock.

Amge, who has a genetic disorder called Achondroplasia, is only 2′ 0.6″ tall. Check out her pic with Lange above — then share your thoughts in the comments!
