Biography
Meredith Eaton became a landmark figure in television when Family Law cast her as attorney Emily Resnick—the first woman with dwarfism to anchor a regular role in a major American prime-time series. Born August 26, 1974, in the US, she expanded her presence on prestige drama, earning a recurring part as Bethany Horowitz on ABC's Boston Legal. Later, she took the lead as Matilda "Matty" Webber on the CBS reboot of MacGyver, shifting from supporting to central roles. As an actor, Eaton works across television drama, law procedurals, and action—genres that demand both emotional range and physical presence. Her Virgo sun (born in late August) pairs with Life Path 1 numerology, suggesting pioneering independence: she didn't wait for permission to redefine who could anchor prime-time television. A US citizen, she operates in mainstream American broadcasting.
