General Hospital Spoilers: James Patrick Stuart Pays Maura West’s Daughter Birdie High Compliments!
General Hospital spoilers announces that actor James Patrick Stuart is paying fellow General Hospital actor Maura West’s young daughter Birdie DeFreitas some pretty high compliments on her first acting job in a performance of the musical “Matilda!”
Birdie West DeFreitas Is Ten Years Old
Birdie is ten years old going on eleven, and she is the youngest daughter of Maura West, who plays Ava Jerome Cassadine on the ABC daytime drama “General Hospital”, and her husband Scott DeFreitas. James Patrick Stuart plays Valentin Cassadine on the same show. Their characters are not married although now related in an in-law sort of way with Valentin being Ava’s new husband’s uncle.
Maura writes in her Instagram account, “My youngest sweetheart is playing Matilda in the wonderful, magical, marvelous musical, MATILDA, opening Saturday…I am so proud of this girl!! Break a leg, Birdie West!!!!!! You mustn’t let a little thing like little stop you.” James Patrick, a father of two boys himself as well as having been a child actor and the son of Chad Stuart of Chad and Jeremy fame, wrote on his Instagram , “Birdie West, the youngest of the extremely gifted children of Maura West & Scott DeFreitas.
This afternoon, I got to watch her in the title role of “Matilda” at Newhall’s Canyon Theater Guild. A voice that puts a lump in your throat, an absolutely delightful & competent dancer… she commands your attention & earns your trust instantly. Maybe Birdie can thank her mom & dad for the charisma, but her chops are all hers. Such finesse, such nuanced & savvy choices…
About “Matilda, The Musical”
She had me on the edge of my seat & in the palm of her sweet little hands from beginning to end & never let me down. Trust me… you have to see this kid. Now through Feb 23rd at the Canyon Theater Guild in Old Town Newhall, (about as far from downtown LA as Calabasas.) Worth it.” He also posted a photo of the two posing together, and he gave her quite a plug!
