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.
ReplyDeleteI 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
ReplyDeleteInteresting. 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.
ReplyDeletePS. 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!
ReplyDeleteyay for jean harlow, short like me!

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

Wow...everyone's way shorter than I would have imagined!!
ReplyDeleteso small and so "big" at the same time...
ReplyDelete'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
