Apologies for the mistake of putting the wrong picture on Shirley Jones 🙈

Please note this is not a complete list, although it's a pretty comprehensive one. I'd rather hear about who I did include rather than who I didn't. There's not a more complete classic actress video on the platform I can assure you
You don’t need to comment about the picture mistake, I already know thanks

The fact that many people perceived the shorter women as taller is a testament to the great tailoring of the clothes the actresses wore.

Amazing how so many of these stars appeared larger than life on the silver screen, and yet we’re so tiny in real life. Great video!

[wilfred]

Love that you included Mary Pickford, Gloria Swanson, Janet Gaynor, Lillian Gish! People often forget the silents. Thanks for putting this together--a lot of work!

This illustrates that beauty standards were different. It didn’t matter how tall you were and all these women have a healthy amount of body fat. Love this!

[ronaldfazekas]

Although people were shorter a generation or two before, I was still surprised at how many well-known stars were 5'-3" and under!!

I saw Audrey Hepburn a couple of times, she was taller than expected and did not look as skinny as she did in movies. She had the most beautiful carriage I’d ever seen, really looked like royalty. She made a remarkable appearance.

I'm 4'10" and been asked "what's wrong with you?" as if I have some kind of disease. I'd often be turned down because men would rather date a woman a foot taller than me. It's refreshing and validating to know there's nothing wrong with my height.

Fabulous! One thing that struck me as a Baby Boomer who never saw most of these actresses from the 1040's on the silver screen - only in TV movie reruns - they were glamorous! Something today's crop of Hollywood actresses lack.

Never new Veronica Lake was so tiny. She always struck me as a tall woman, I would have guessed 5'9" or so.

[Angela-dxcs]

Very nice! I was shocked that Mae West was only 5 feet tall she was such a strong presence.

[carlosfederici]

Truly enjoyable! There is, however, one mistake: Shirley McLaine appears twice, the first time wrongly named "Shirley JONES"... But this does not hurt the appealing of the whole. Great work! Thanks a lot!

[kateruterbories]

As a petite actress of 5' tall, myself, I can attest to the fabulousness of it all!! Thank you!

[cactusbound]

Being 5’1-1/2” always seemed so short. Many great performers my height. BTW, it’s mentioned that Shirley Jones was in the lineup. It’s actually a picture of Shirley McClain at 5’5”.

[njejlester]

Wow! Hedy Lamar, Marilyn Monroe, Rita Hayworth, Ava Gardner, Gene Tierney, Greta Garbo — I think 5’6” is the magic number!

[LJB]

You're really getting classic Hollywood when you include Margaret Dumont!

[victorialine]

I'm surprised that Audrey Hepburn is so tall. She was thin, but the camera made her look short. MacClaine, Fonda and Loren are also surprisingly tall. They must all have been made to stand in a hole.

[minuit]

So shocked with Veronica Lake! I thought she was like 5'7/5'8. 4'10 is insane!

[sheilasinghal]

Great video! Love the selection of actresses and the choice of photos. 😊 Some of them were a lot tinier than I realized, and a few were a lot taller.

[Daisnap]

So great that you included character actresses too, like Marie Dressler, Irene Ryan. Maureen Stapleton, Geraldine Page. Did you think of Agnes Moorehead? As far as leading ladies, I can’t think of one you missed. Lots of international stars too, wonderful. Magnani, Dors, et al. Well done!
