Actress that plays Lea was actually 9 years old while filming

Honestly I’m shocked. I thought she was like 6 or 7. So tiny she looks. And it was weird how they kept telling that she was 10 years old.

Leia has always been petit. It makes sense she is a 9 year old that is older than she looks.

She might have some dwarfism in her.

She might. I had her pegged at 7. Mind you, these sets they film on are as big as a high school stage so you can't actually move on them and the scenes constantly involve running. So it looks pretty dumb.

She is a dwarf for sure

Best part of the show so far.
