Oh wow! I would have suspected Marilyn to be taller and Audrey to be shorter. I guess I always thought of Audrey as being 5'4" tops. And Joan Crawford has such a force around her I also would expect her to be taller. I wonder how tall the leading men were.
I guess I don't mind being in the same height company as the stars who were 5'6".
Had no idea Ingrid Bergman was Viking tall . . . figured 5'6-7. You are some researcher
Interesting. Didn't know that Bergman was so tall. Well, I'm 5'9 myself but usually screen stars are shorter. I was really surprised when I learned that Scarlett Johansson is 5'4.
PS. I have to mention that I stopped admiring Joan Crawford after reading what a horrible mother she had been.
yay for jean harlow, short like me!

Great stats - Marlene Dietrich was 5'5" too.
I have no idea what the numbers mean. Metric system, please!

I really don´t understand neither this metric system...could you please tell me how to figure out that?
a kiss!!!
Theres tons of height conversion websites, just look on google. For example, 5'6" would equal 168cm tall. Hope that helps!

5'5"-5'6" isn't a bad place to be. I'm in good company! I did know about Audrey and Lauren B.
cool post. thanks!
I'm Clara Bow! Hooray!! That was fun, thanks!
Hello my name is Audrey Hepburn!! I was suprised at her height as well. I thought she was shorter.
Fun, fun post.
Very cool post - Ingrid Bergman was the same height as I am!

Wow...everyone's way shorter than I would have imagined!!
so small and so "big" at the same time...
'gee-whiz', always wanted to say that, those heights are surprising! i guess the high heels all actresses wore, did a good job at making them look a lot taller!! I always thought Ginger Rogers was way taller, as well as Jane Russell. and Grace Kelly, always thought she was shorter, hmmm
?

Lisa - It's Louise Brooks, she came right after Clara, same era
