Russian born Elena Gant is one of the youngest members of the Little Women: LA cast, and has been a central fixture of the show since season 1. She has a daughter, Angelique Johnson, from her previous relationship with Kerwin Johnson. In addition to her work in the industry, the talented entrepreneur has created a successful business empire with such projects as “Lil Boss Body Activewear”, a line of activewear designed for women of both average and small stature, and “L’Tonya Renee Red Blend Wine”, a specialty wine line. She’s also enjoyed considerable success as an actress and can be seen in such features as Death to Smoochy, Bad Santa, Martin, and Ally McBeal. Tonya Banks has worked in entertainment for years as a stuntwoman and celebrity impersonator. She has two children, Penelope Charlevoix and Grayson Vincent D’Artagnan, with her husband and fellow Little Women: LA star, Joe Gnoff. Her off-screen ventures include releasing an album of children’s song called Penny’s Playlist and a parenting and lifestyle vlog,. In addition to being one of its stars, Terra works as an executive producer on the show, as well as on its spinoffs, Little Women: ATL, Little Women: NY and Little Women: Dallas. She’s also headlined at the Las Vegas show Little Legends and featured on MTV’s True Life: I’m a Little Person. Lady Gaga and Britney Spears impersonator Terra Jole is one of the most well-known faces of the cast, having previously toured with Miley Cyrus and appeared in such movies as The Hungover Games, Austin Powers in Goldmember, and Jackass: 3D. As they deal with the trials and tribulations of parenting, friendships, relationships and careers, these group of engaging, enterprising women are living proof that height is just a number. Getting on in a world where everything from clothes to door handles to lights switches aren’t exactly designed with your body type in mind isn’t easy, but Little Women: LA is anything but a pity party. Rather, it’s a look into the world of a group of friends who all happen to share one common trait: dwarfism. For anyone not familiar with the show, don’t expect a modern-day retelling of Louisa May Alcott’s classic about the March family. After a mid-season hiatus, season 8 of Little Women: LA returned to our screens on July 11, giving us another glimpse into the lives of Terra, Tonya, Elena, Christy, Jasmine, et al. The reality show that spawned a thousand spins off’s (well, a few, at least) is back.
