I read Avas autibiography, and she mentions her height at 5'6, but I think that was when she was in her mid-late 20's. What age do people start 'shrinking' I've heard you can easily loose 1-2 inches in height as you age.

Actually, Ava Gardner by no means wore a USA size 6! My God that proposition is funny! She did wear a UK size 6 in shoes but that actually translates to an American size 8 (SEE Click Here). Some report that she wore a 9.5 shoe (Click Here) but who knows. Anyhow I too agree that she was most likely around 5'4", no more than 5'5".

I knew Ava briefly through a mutual friend some 30 years ago and she was not taller than me. I am 5'4" (although I may have been half an inch taller back then) and she was about the same height or slightly shorter.

I knew Ava briefly through a mutual friend many years ago. I am 5'4" and she was about the same height, certainly no more than 1'2 an inch taller than that. By the way, she was very sweet and charming - almost motherly - towards me, even if she did sometimes have a somewhat fiery reputation.

First husband Mickey Rooney claimed in his bio that Ava Gardner was 5'1" - yeah right! I don't know why, who does he think he was fooling??? Sinatra's valet wrote a book and described her as 5'7". 5'5"-5'6" is about right I think.

She was not 5.5" -- She was behind me in checkout line in the Ralphs supermarket on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood in the 1970s. We spoke for several minutes (she was with her female assistant). I'm 5'7.5 and the top of her head barely made it to my shoulder. She was tiny, like Jacquelyn Smith tiny. Remember, in movies Ava could wear high heels.

Yes, 5`5 or 5`6 sounds reasonable. She was the most beautiful woman to ever appear on the screen. And a good actress too.

I think she was about 5'4 to 5'5, Sinatra was about 5'6 to 5'7 and I have seen that photo of them walking on their honeymoon in Miami in 1951, and they were barefoot. She does not appear to be only an inch shorter than him. Sinatra in his earlier days used to add 4 inches to his height. In his army record, it states he was 5'7.

yes, I agree, and she was really beautiful and the love of Frank's life, too.

The one, the only. Yeah that seems about right, look at all those shots of her and Frank Sinatra together, he was maybe 5-8 or so, not that much taller than her.
