Meredith Eaton Facts

When she began portraying the character of Emily Resnick in the TV series Family Law (2001–2002), Meredith became the first female dwarf actor to occupy a regular role in an American prime time TV series.

At Hofstra University, she was actively involved in the Delta Phi Epsilon sorority. In June 2007, the institution honored her by naming her as their ‘Alumnus of the Month’.

She has often credited her training in clinical psychology at Adelphi University for providing her greater understanding of character dynamics when preparing for acting auditions or when taking up a new role.

Her acting career began in earnest in 1999 when she attended an open casting call and defeated more than 500 aspirants from Canada, the UK, and the United States, who were all auditioning for the part of Maudey Beasley in the comedy film Unconditional Love. The film was eventually released in 2002 after suffering from production delays.

Her performance in Unconditional Love was noted by Canadian screenwriter and director/producer Paul Haggis who eventually created the role of Emily Resnick in the legal drama TV series Family Law specifically with Meredith in mind.

She has also featured as ‘herself’ in the History TV documentary Standing Tall at Auschwitz, and in No Bigger Than a Minute, a documentary on dwarfism.
