I think it's time to upgrade Lewis' height. The following is taken from the recently re-issued book, 'The Munsters: A Trip Down Mockingbird Lane'. On Pg. 55, the author states that, "Another misconception for audiences was the adult cast's actual height. Most people assumed Al Lewis was short. He was far from short, standing at a respectable 6'1". Yvonne De Carlo was the petite one, standing 5'4". And Gwynne towered over them all, standing 6'5" in stocking feet and 7 feet tall in the giant Herman boots."

Looked 6' 1" in North Hollywood 10 years ago. If you saw the Munster Koach drive away from the Beverly Garland Holiday Inn where he & Eddie Munster & Marylin Munster were appearing, it was one of the funniest sights I've ever seen. Cars were stopping in traffic going "Oh my god!". Some guy was in a Herman head mask driving it. It had no California plates. Imagine that thing being pulled over. "I need a VIN verification on a 1964 Munster Koach driven by a guy dressed as Herman Munster". I saw it again with the 1966 Batmobile. I think Barris had a plate on that. The looks on people as it drove down Vineland were hilarious.

Glenn is right. I remember reading the newspaper article the day after he died and it said he was a 6'1" basketball star in high school. He was clearly shorter than 6'5" Fred Gwynne but he definitely wasn't dwarfed.

[Editor Rob: he must have lost a bit by final years, but give him 6ft range then...]
