But that’s not the only AHS news this week. Murphy announced a new cast member via Twitter. He tweeted a picture of series regular Jessica Lange and the new cast member, with the caption: “Jessica and our newest cast member Jyoti Amge … the world’s smallest woman.”
Amge, who is from Nagpur, India, is indeed the world’s smallest woman, as confirmed by the Guiness Book of World Records on her 18th birthday on December 16, 2011. She is 2 feet, 6 inches. This height is due to a condition she has called achondroplasia, which is a form of dwarfism.
She was one of the featured guests in the UK documentary series Body Shock: Two Foot High Teen in 2009.
