meep
and

trended throughout the entire night as fans expressed their love for the character on twitter , which was a pretty impressive feat considering he only appeared in two episodes .
after news broke , “ american horror story ” creator ryan murphy tweeted a tribute to woolf , calling him “one of the most inspirational people i’ve ever met . ”
woolf played meep in three episodes of fx’s american horror story this past season . he appeared in indie horror features haunting charles manson , dead kansas and unlucky charms .
woolf , best known for playing meep on ahs , was allegedly struck by the side - view mirror of a passing suv as he attempted to cross the street .
this is such a tragic turn of events , especially since ben’s health seemed to be improving over the weekend , with doctors reportedly upgrading him to “critical but stable condition , ” according to the new york daily news .
ben woolf , who played the infantata on the first season of american horror story and meep on freak show , died this week at 34 years old . he had suffered a head injury due to being hit by a car last week . the large cast of american horror story has been active on social media , tweeting about how woolf was an inspiration who will never be forgotten . creator ryan murphy has expressed his thoughts , as has kathy bates , denis o ' hare , naomi grossman , and others . here ' s how the cast has reacted .
ben’s courage , kindness , humor , talent , and determination in the face of challenges inspired everyone he met . he never doubted that he would make his dreams come true . ben is best known for his two parts in the hit tv show “american horror story , ” in which he played “infantada” and “meep . ” two weeks before he died he was honored in moscow for his contributions to the horror genre at the russian horror film awards .
woolf ' s rep told the daily news over the weekend that he was in
critical but stable condition ,
but it appears things took a turn for the worse .
a source close to woolf tells us he died from a stroke on monday afternoon . he had been heavily sedated at cedars - sinai medical center since the accident last week .
woolf ' s good friend and co - star naomi grossman told e ! news on saturday that it was ' awful ' to hear about him being involved in the accident .
woolf’s progressive ideals are also reflected — her feminism , as expressed in the great a room of one’s own and , perhaps less well known , her dismay at the spanish civil war — a conviction bolstered by the death of vanessa’s son and virginia’s nephew , julian , in the conflict . woolf supported the appearance of picasso’s anti - fascist painting guernica ( 1937 ) in london , and picasso’s weeping woman drawing , donated for a fundraising event for basque refugees at which woolf appeared , gives an unexpected jolt of dramatic modernist form .
ben was one - of - a - kind , and will never be forgotten . the time we all shared together will be remembered forever . we are still all in shock by the tragic news ,
his rep said .
' we have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support from all over the world for our beloved ben . he touched so many hearts in his 34 year , ' a family representative for the 4ft 4in actor told tmz .
while american horror story fans will recognize ben as infantata from the show’s first season , and meep from freak show , he was also featured in several other films and television series , most notably dead kansas , woggie and tv face .
though he was praised by woolf as having “more knowledge and experience than the rest of us put together” , fry’s own painting is wretched — his portrait of woolf is clearly deliberately reductive and naive , yet it’s hopelessly weak . bell’s portrait of her at the same time is far better — more delicate in its handling , crisper in line and cleaner in colour .
in the video interview , mr . woolf said he had loved teaching “because when you’re with children , you kind of live in a different world that doesn’t have any rules . ”
a rep for the actor confirmed his death and told e ! news in statement ,
ben was one - of - a - kind , and will never be forgotten . the time we all shared together will be remembered forever .
woolf , who was 4 feet 4 , was diagnosed with pituitary dwarfism when he was young . he also worked as a preschool teacher in addition to appearing on the hit fx show .
now it’s the turn of an exhibition . the national portrait gallery’s show features 100 works , including family photographs , letters and diaries as well as paintings and sculpture by woolf’s bloomsbury peers .

american horror story creator ryan murphy , who also created glee and nip / tuck , took to twitter and said woolf was one of ' the most inspirational people i ' ve ever met . '
“we have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support from all over the world for our beloved ben . he touched so many hearts in his 34 years , ” the family told tmz . they are planning a memorial service in santa barbara next week .
overseen by the inspiring british director katie mitchell , “waves , ” which runs only through saturday as part of lincoln center’s great performers season , comes closer to capturing woolf’s throbbing love for — and fear of — the paradoxes of human existence than any play , movie or novelistic homage i’ve ever come upon . readers who are not admirers of woolf’s rarefied prose are unlikely to be won over by this production .
ben faced many challenges due to his short stature of 4’ 4’’ and the continuing health challenges of a serious childhood illness , but not once in his life did he complain . he remained unassumedly confident in himself regardless of whether his talents were recognized or appreciated . ben showed the world what a person of integrity , kindness and gentleness can accomplish no matter what obstacles appear to be in the way . the world has responded since his untimely death with an outpouring of love , affection and admiration that has brought comfort and pride to his family .
in a twitter post as news of the death spread , ryan murphy , a co - creator of “american horror story , ” called mr . woolf “one of the most inspirational people i’ve ever met . ”
we have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support from all of the world for our beloved ben ,
the family said .
he touched so many hearts in his 34 years . his memory will live on within each of us and within his work .
we ' re so glad that murphy and co . gave actors like woolf ( and mat fraser , who was born with phocomelia of both arms ) a chance to be seen and heard on a national scale with
freak show ,
we just wish woolf had been given enough time to go beyond meep , and play an everyday person who lived - - and , mostly , thrived - - with a handicap . these are the people we need to see more of onscreen , and to say that woolf ' s death will be felt through the
ahs
community , the handicapped community , and beyond is probably a massive understatement .
a great photo taken by leonard captures a sun - hatted woolf with t s eliot and his wife in the garden of monk’s house , the sussex home where woolf spent many of their later years . this was also the house from which woolf took her final walk before drowning herself in the river ouse . the walking stick she left on the bank , which spelt out to leonard that she had drowned , sits in a vitrine nearby — a banal object suddenly imbued with terrible significance . and the heartbreaking letters she wrote to leonard and to vanessa , both of which speak of the depression that so regularly engulfed her , are also on display .
cnn obtained a family statement which said , “we have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support from all over the world for our beloved ben . he touched so many hearts in his 34 years . his memory will live on within each of us and within his work . ”
woolf was a cast member on the fx show in its first season , in 2011 , when he played a character called the infantata . in the latest installment , american horror story : freak show , he appeared as meep .
ben was born in fort collins , colorado , and grew up in fairfield , iowa . he moved with his family to santa barbara in 1999 where he was an active league pool player , improv theater performer , and karaoke enthusiast . ben was a gentle , indomitable spirit , a well - known figure for walking everywhere around town and relaxing with the latest harlan coben thriller in local coffee shops . he earned a degree in early childhood education at city college , teaching in the head start program in goleta until 2010 when he moved to hollywood to pursue his lifelong dream of making it as an actor .
aside from being an actor , woolf also worked as a preschool teacher , which was something he had loved “because when you’re with children , you kind of live in a different world that doesn’t have any rules . it’s more imagination . ”
when the “freak show” season began , the fx network put together several short videos about the actors on the show , including one on woolf , who talked about his condition , how people responded to him and about his love of teaching .
woolf was a cast member on the fx show in its first season , in 2011 , when he played a character called the infantata . in the latest installment ,

the actor appeared in the most recent season of fx’s anthology series , in which his character had a penchant for biting the heads off small animals . woolf also had small roles in other projects , including the recent psychological thriller haunting charles manson .
“we have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support from all over the world for our beloved ben , ” his family said in a statement , as the new york times reported . “he touched so many hearts in his 34 years . his memory will live on within each of us and within his work . ”

woolf had been in critical condition since he was struck by an suv last week . though his status was upgraded to stable over the weekend , he had suffered significant head injuries , and passed away from a stroke at cedars - sinai medical center .
pulitzer prize–winning playwright edward albee was considered one of the greatest american playwrights of his generation for his plays including ' the zoo story , ' ' who ' s afraid of virginia woolf ? , ' ' a delicate balance ' and ' three tall women . '
woolf , 34 , died of a stroke at cedars - sinai medical center on monday , said his publicist , zack teperman . the actor had been hospitalized in critical condition since thursday , when he was struck by a car mirror near hollywood boulevard , police said .
national research council ( us ) ; institute of medicine ( us ) ; woolf sh , aron l , editors . u . s . health in international perspective : shorter lives , poorer health . washington ( dc ) : national academies press ( us ) ; 2013 .
the new york times critic ben brantley once wrote about albee & apos ; s contribution to the theater world : “mr . albee has unsparingly considered subjects outside the average theatergoer’s comfort zone : the capacity for sadism and violence within american society ; the fluidness of human identity ; the dangerous irrationality of sexual attraction and , always , the irrefutable presence of death . ”
i say curious because woolf is so much more accomplished a modernist in words than any of the bloomsbury artists were in paint . in the prose poetry of the waves and to the lighthouse she powerfully achieved the kind of effects fry described , where emotion and impression supersede precise description .
of course , these letters are among the few snatches of writing that the show can reflect ; it can only go so far in illustrating what makes woolf so enduringly significant a figure . but you leave with a thirst for her writing and , in that sense , it’s invigorating .
benjamin eric woolf was born on sept . 15 , 1980 , in fort collins , colo . , and grew up in fairfield , iowa . his family learned he had pituitary dwarfism when he was a child . he moved to california in 2010 to pursue a career in entertainment .
woolf died of a stroke at cedars - sinai medical center about 3 : 20 p . m . , said his publicist , zack teperman . the actor had been hospitalized in critical condition since thursday , when he was struck by a car mirror while jaywalking near hollywood boulevard , police said .
in a video interview last january , woolf—who stood at four feet and four inches—shared his difficulties with dwarfism . he shared that people sometimes “don’t give me the value that i deserve” . nevertheless , he had soon learned to “ignore it and do what i can do to the best of my ability . ”
national research council ( us ) ; institute of medicine ( us ) ; woolf sh , aron l , editors . u . s . health in international perspective : shorter lives , poorer health . washington ( dc ) : national academies press ( us ) ; 2013 . 3 , framing the question .
in the first season mr . woolf played the infantata , the murderous ghost of a baby - turned - frankenstein monster by his grieving parents . in the recently concluded fourth season he played meep , a sideshow performer with a one - word vocabulary and a penchant for biting the heads off live animals .
woolf first appeared in the hit fx anthology series in its first season , playing infantata and donning heavy makeup to transform into the memorable character . he returned for the show’s most recent season , “freak show , ” in a small but beloved role as meep , who could only say one word : “meep ! ”
a source close to the actor , who played meep on the f / x series , told the website that woolf suffered a stroke at cedars - sinai medical center in los angeles after he was hit in the head by a passing car ' s mirror while he was crossing a street in hollywood last week .
but bell is still hugely inconsistent : her portrait of woolf in an armchair , in which the details of the face are all but obliterated , seems to follow fry’s idea that “the emotional elements of design” are more important in painting than the likeness of the sitter , but the paint seems heavy and aimless . it’s curious that woolf , after revisiting in 1928 another bell painting , three women ( 1913 - 16 ) , which rather lumpily and clumsily channels matisse and picasso , wrote of bell’s ability to “bring off a situation in a way that arouses my envy” , before adding : “i wonder if i could write three women in prose ? ”
mr . woolf reflected on the difficulties of life with dwarfism in a video interview released by “american horror story” in january . in it , he said that people sometimes “don’t give me the value that i deserve , ” but that he had learned to “ignore it and do what i can do to the best of my ability . ”
but that was just the kind of response that meep inspired in people . his childlike innocence ( minus the biting off animal heads thing ) and love for his fellow freaks made his early onscreen death feel like a travesty , but all tv plot - related feelings obviously pale in comparison to what the
ahs
family - - cast , crew , and fans - - are feeling today ( february 24 ) , due to the news that woolf died last night at the age of 34 . the 4 ' 4 ' ' woolf , who had pituitary dwarfism , was hit in the head by the side mirror of an suv while crossing the street last week , and never recovered from his injuries .
mr . woolf worked for two seasons on “american horror story . ” an emmy - nominated series on fx , it features an ensemble cast and new characters and a new story line each season . settings have included a haunted house , a 1960s mental hospital plagued by demons and extraterrestrials , a coven of witches , and a 1950s carnival freak show .
woolf wrote later that “great men stood in the background” of their lives . “greatness still seems to me a positive possession ; booming ; eccentric ; set apart ; something to which i am led up dutifully by my parents , ” she added . “it is a bodily presence ; it has nothing to do with anything said . ” she had much to live up to .
tangled love lives inevitably feature . woolf’s single - day engagement to strachey , who was gay , is marked by his embarrassed letter to her , in which he writes that “the future is blank to me” , that “whatever happens , as you said , the important thing is that we should like each other” , before closing with : “this world is difficult to manage . ”
woolf’s appearance is the result of a diagnosis of pituitary dwarfism as well as some chemotherapy he underwent in his youth , according to the video above . he’s capitalized on this and made a successful career out of acting , with roles in two seasons of “american horror story . ” in addition to this season , he played “infantata” in the show’s first season , “murder house . ”
mr . woolf , who was 4 feet 4 inches tall , was hit in the head by a side - view mirror of a passing car around 9 p . m . on thursday , said sara faden , a spokeswoman for the los angeles police department . the driver remained at the scene , and the police were treating the incident as “a tragic accident , ” she said .
life unfolds in a series of exquisite contradictions in “waves , ” a remarkable , genre - defying work from the national theater of great britain that raises the bar for literary adaptations . the world that is so magically summoned in this improbable page - to - stage translation of “the waves , ” virginia woolf’s most challenging novel , is one of fragmentation and flux , of impenetrable solidity and ghostly transparency , of simultaneous bloom and decay .
each character could be said to embody a different aspect of woolf , who herself shows up in the production , chain smoking and reading from the omniscient narrative sections of “the waves” and from personal diary entries in a flutelike upper - middle - class voice . it is clearly the voice that gives shape to all the other voices we hear , and the tone is sustained beautifully . ( only a recurring sexual joke , involving a banana , seems out of place . )
this sense of magicians showing their hands , of letting us in on the secret of their tricks , in no way diminishes our appreciation of their art . “the waves” is partly about forms of storytelling , of the ways different minds turn life into narrative . and woolf was always painfully aware of the inexactness and artificiality of art : that her words , however fine - spun , could only approximate what she really wanted to say . it seems appropriate to anatomize the tale as it is being told .
but they’ll be hard pressed to deny the insightful , meticulous craftsmanship of ms . mitchell , her eight performers and a media - mixing design team that plies sophisticated video and audio tools that the technology - challenged woolf could never have dreamed of . it is yet another of the show’s happier paradoxes that in evoking the “moments of being” that make up the novel , this band of artists using 21st - century tools parallel the process of an early - 20th - century novelist heroically trying to pin down the ephemeral with only pen and ink .
it was in golden square after 1904 that woolf made the first steps to her own greatness . she , vanessa and their brothers , thoby and adrian , began holding their thursday - evening “at homes” , discussion soirées that marked the beginning of the bloomsbury group . enter the familiar bloomsbury characters : duncan grant , lytton strachey , simon bussy , lady ottoline morrell , roger fry and so on . fry’s presence was crucial in providing the group with an artistic identity , formed out of his evangelical passion for the french post - impressionism of cézanne , gauguin and their followers .
albee made his broadway debut in 1962 with who’s afraid of virginia woolf ? , an over three - hour long play about the existentially fraught relationship between a middle - aged professor george and his wife martha , who pull a couple of invited guests into their dysfunction in a night of alcohol - fueled confrontations . some critics were horrified by the raw emotions on stage , others found it revelatory . the production was a major hit , winning the tony award for best play . a jury also awarded it the pulitzer prize , but the pulitzer advisory board rejected their recommendation .
of all woolf’s novels , which include syllabus staples like “mrs . dalloway” and “to the lighthouse , ” none is more adventurous or , on the surface , more baffling than “the waves , ” published in 1931 . she wrote in her diary that she was striving for the “abstract poetic . ” and the book is shaped as a musical counterpoint of subjective points of view , rendered in lyrical stream - of - consciousness monologues . the obvious course for bringing it to the stage would be to allow six performers to recite those monologues in rotation , perhaps with moody musical interludes .
playwright edward albee & apos ; s early popular one - acts plays , including the zoo story ( 1959 ) , established him as a critic of american values . he was best known for his first full - length play who & apos ; s afraid of virginia woolf ? ( 1962 ) , a tony award - winning production which also became a 1966 film starring elizabeth taylor and richard burton . albee received pulitzer prizes for a delicate balance ( 1966 ) , seascape ( 1972 ) and three tall women ( 1994 ) , among a host of other accolades . albee died on september 16 , 2016 at the age of 88 .
devised by katie mitchell and the company from the text of virginia woolf’s novel “the waves” ; directed by ms . mitchell ; video design by leo warner for fifty - nine productions ; design by vicki mortimer ; lighting by paule constable ; music by paul clark ; music director and arranger , simon allen ; sound by gareth fry ; company voice work by kate godfrey . produced by the national theater of great britain , presented by lincoln center’s great performers new visions series . at the duke on 42nd street , 229 west 42nd street , manhattan ; ( 212 ) 721 - 6500 . through nov . 22 . running time : 2 hours 30 minutes .
first , much of the association between early and adult health conditions results from the persistence of material , social , and cultural conditions over time . children who grow up in poverty not only endure immediate health risks such as poor nutrition and exposure to lead , allergens , and other pollutants , but they are also more likely to face poverty and its consequences as adults ( case and paxson , 2010 , 2011 ; case et al . , 2005 ; currie and widom , 2010 ; delaney and smith , 2012 ; isaacs et al . , 2008 ) . to the extent that such exposures remain stable across the life course , disadvantages during childhood and adolescence will persist later in life . accordingly , poor health status early in life is associated with poor health status during adulthood ( kuh and ben - shlomo , 2004 ; power et al . , 1991 ; wadsworth , 1991 ) .
this continuum of influences offers a potentially important systemic explanation for the higher prevalence of disorders ( e . g . , obesity , cardiovascular disease ) , violence ( e . g . , homicide ) , and risk factors documented in part i . over the past several decades , a great deal of social and biomedical sciences research has been devoted to looking across individuals’ life spans in an effort to better understand developmental and health trajectories over time and , more specifically , how characteristics and experiences early in life may influence health and biobehavioral pathways much later in life ( billari , 2009 ; braveman and barclay , 2009 ; braveman et al . , 2011b ; gluckman and hanson , 2006 ; halfon and hochstein , 2002 ; keating and hertzman , 1999 ; kuh and ben - shlomo , 2004 ; lynch and davey smith , 2005 ; mayer , 2009 ; palloni et al . , 2009 ; pollitt et al . , 2005 ; power and hertzman , 1997 ) . the life - course framework casts health as a developmental process influenced by multiple nested social , environmental , and biological spheres that continually interact over the course of one’s life and shape the quality and nature of each person’s growth , health , and development ( halfon and hochstein , 2002 ) .
