DETROIT — The preteen years may be tough but 12-year-old Leah Jeffries is navigating an even harsher world these days and doing it with confidence: Hollywood.
The Novi native’s career is on a roll with a steady list of credits, from TV shows to now movies. Jeffries, who landed her first role on Fox’s “Empire” when she was 5 and has been building her resume ever since, was in Detroit over the weekend for a special screening of her latest project, “Beast,” which hits theaters Friday.
Although she is still in the early stages of her acting career, Leah's family always knew she would be a star, said her cousin, Carin Poole, 49, of Southfield.
