Not very tall at all

Filed under: — Shane Thacker 3:57 pm

I appear to be shorter (5′6″) than almost every famous modern male. Makes me feel like a hobbit.

Of course, I have to wonder about some of the reported heights. Bea Arthur is only 5′9″? For that matter, Cher is 5′4″? That’s the same height as Alan Ladd. (Seriously. They used to have him stand on things to look taller than his female costars. Except for Veronica Lake. 4′11″. The Glass Key. Good movie.)

I personally think the best height is for Charles Schulz. They report him as 5′12″. :)

    Al Pacino is only 5′5” and he plays mobsters.
