@@debbieandmarc I can believe that about Clint Walker. I saw his daughter interviewed years ago, and I was very impressed by her! She was not only physically very beautiful, she was extremely humble and polite with no interest in show business. She said that her father had bought her a plane because she had always been interested in flying and had given her flying lessons from a young age. This was before the airlines would hire women as pilots. She said very humbly that she hoped one day they would hire women and that if they did, she hoped she would be one of them. There was no anger and no threats of a lawsuit as there would be today, just quiet humility. I'm guessing she works for an airline today. I was so impressed by her, I thought what a wonderful father he must have been.

Leading men who were short often stood on boxes when with a tall leading lady, or the woman stood in holes or walked in trenches.

With only a couple of exceptions, leading men HAD to appear taller than the leading lady, or every other woman, and had to be as tall as the bad guy, except when the smaller leading man was supposed to defeat a much bigger man. Leading men often stood on boxes, or leading women stood in holes or walked n trenches. Often, when full body shots were want, the leading man would have "his" back turned, and the viewer would actually be seeing a stand-in. This is rare today, but it is still done on occasion.

I teach at the college level, and you would not believe what the average college student today does NOT know. Early on, I learned when I walk into a classroom never to assume that the students know anything unless the subject I'm teaching happens to be directly related to their major. Even when this is the case, though, they rarely know general information outside their major since people in their teens, twenties, and thirties rarely read anymore. They are too busy playing on their phones and (with males anyway) playing video games. You would think I was making it up if I told you some of the questions I have been asked. So it doesn't surprise me that there would be people who do not know who Audie Murphy was. Reading what this amazing hero did during World War II is almost incomprehensible to me. As I posted earlier, he should have been given two Medals of Honor. It always annoys me to hear an athlete referred to as a hero. What has any athlete ever done that is remotely equivalent to what Audie Murphy did? I cannot imagine the degree of pride this man's parents must have felt about their son!

I always thought that jack Nicholson was way shorter than that. In the 50s/70s I worked in Soho London in Butchers shops as well as growing up there. We often would see up close, famous actors and tv stars( they have to eat !). It was always a surprise when you see their actual height. It's because in scenes with fellow actors the other actors would be taller making them look shortish, or in the case of the leading actor being short, they make sure others are mostly the same height or shorter.

For a while people thought the correct height of Alan Ladd was actually 5'4". Hollywood placed only short people around Ladd, no one taller than him. I'm assuming Ladd may have worn elevator lift shoes that put him at 5'8" which would be far more workable for Hollywood back then.

It was kinda disappointing to find out I was taller than he was. I did get to see him on stage in 'The King and I'. That was awesome! I was, and still am, taller than a lot of the 'big' stars. I am only 5'10". I don't think that's considered super tall for a woman today, but it was when I growing up.

The average height for a woman in the U.S. is still only around 5'5". You, dear statuesque lady, are still in the upper echelon of female height. I had a friend of similar height to you and I constantly had to tell her to stand straight, because she was a shy girl who didn't want to stand out. The funny thing is that I am extremely short, and would be blinded by the sun if standing at the wrong angle and time to look at her.

I am 62 and also 5ft 10". I used to be 5ft 11" but had a knee op in 2009 and lost an inch in height. I was painfully shy as a teenager, and hated standing out in a crowd. I loved it in my twenties though, and have had some gorgeous hunks as boyfriends over the years. All my favourite actors though, are shorter than me. My all-time favourite actor is James Dean. He was 5ft 8" (not 5ft 7") as told in this video. One of his girlfriends was Elizabeth 'Dizzy' Sheridan - and she was 5ft 10", but she said he made her feel very feminin and it felt to her, like he was taller than her. He had long legs and she used to borrow his jeans!! An ex with whom I lived with for 8 years, was 6ft 1 & a half", and I used to borrow his jeans!! On the whole, I love being tall, but sometimes I'd just like to be petite. I've always been slim, and did a bit of modelling in my 40's.

I would never had thought George burns would be the same height as James dean lol
