Bio: Career, Net Worth

Born on 19th August 1977 in Burbank, California, Christy grew up suffering from dwarfism (unusually or abnormally low stature or small size) despite her parents' healthy physicality. Before she pursued her career as an actress, Christy worked as a financial advisor for a firm.

While dwarfism might be considered a disadvantage for many in the showbiz world, Christy's short height -which is 4 feet and 2 inches (1.26m) - went onto become a strength in her acting career. She first started working in Hollywood sets by filling in as a substitute for child actors.

In 2002, she worked in major Hollywood films like Austin Powers as a dancer alongside Mike Myers. The California born actress also appeared in the hit comedy sketch series, MADtv, the same year.

However, her breakthrough came in 2014 after she got cast in reality show Little Women: LA, which documented the lives of little (dwarf) women's friend circle.
