Meredith Eaton-Gilden

She's a "short-stature" actor.

She's spunky and cute.

I think I've a thing for her.

No idea who she is but I'm a big fan of perky and petite.

She played the recurring character of Bethany Horowitz during the third season of Boston Legal, and still pops up now and again.

Which is where my most recent "exposure" to her is coming from (as I'm watching BL's third season on DVD.) She was also a POTW's mother in an episode of House, I believe, last season.

She's just got something "about" her that I love. She's a good looking woman.

Well, the height thing is an issue, but I don't judge.

Do I really need to say it? This thread is useless without pictures.

Is she afflicted by dwarfism?

She's a "little person" (just over 4-feet, I believe) what her condition exactly is I do not know.

I just saw that she was married to the actor Michael Gilden (also a little person), who appeared in a couple episodes of NCIS as Abby's friend; he appears to have committed suicide not long after that. RIP.

Dwarfism is a catch-all term for arrested growth, regardless of cause. There are some 200-plus specific causes, all of which fall under dwarfism (or nanism, if you prefer).

"Little person" is a poorly descriptive term. Persons are little in all sorts of ways - and even are little without qualifying as a dwarf. Perhaps the term would be more useful if moved through the filter of another language, preferably arriving as a single word.

I thought there were two different varieties of "little people" Dwarfism where the proportions of the body aren't the same as the are for their "full sized" counterparts and another variety of it where the porportions are the same.
