American Horror Story: Freakshow has been gaining lots of anticipated buzz after the roles of its actors was posted. Recently, show creator Ryan Murphy posted a photo on his Twitter account showing series mainstay, Jessica Lange with the newest member of the AHS Season 4 cast.

Murphy wrote "Jessica and our newest cast member Jyoti Amge...the world's smallest woman," with a photo of Lange holding the 2 feet-tall woman from India.

Amge is indeed hailed as the world's shortest woman by Guiness Book of World Records, with a height of 2 feet and 6 inches.

Amge hails from India, and has become a celebrity in her native country. Amge suffers from a genetic disease called 'achondroplasia,' which makes her physical growth stagnant.

Amge did not let her handicap get in the way of her dreams as she appeared in various television shows and documentaries.

At one time, Amge appeared in an Indian reality show similar to Big Brother, and now she is moving into Hollywood as she plays a small woman in AHS Season 4: 'Freakshow.'

Other cast additions to the Freakshow AHS cast were announced last week, with Patti LaBelle joining in on the bill.

The Grammy-award winning singer will play Gabourey Sidibe's mother in the fourth season of the successful FX series.

American Horror Story Season 4: Freakshow will premiere this fall on FX.
