We've just come back from Las Vegas and were lucky enough to get front row seats at the Hilton Theater (fabulous show), He was about 3-4 feet away from us and only looked about 5'6" - 5'8". Perhaps because we were looking up at the stage it gave the appearance of him being shorter than he actually is. I though he had the figure of a teenage boy. foodjunkie says on 22/Aug/07

saw him on x-factor uk, and he stands taller than Ben, who looks 5'11-6, so i'd assume mr manilow be around 6-6'1.. Brad says on 2/Dec/06
I'd accept that. My aunt sees him all the time in Palm Springs. He must jet to his shows in Vegas. SpiritDancing says on 20/Nov/06
Barry and I were in an acting class together in 1979-1980 with Nina Foch. I'm just barely under 6' in my naked feet. I remember when I met him, I had on short heels (dance character shoes -- maybe 1.5 inches) and we were looking eye to eye. He's definitely taller than I am. I'd say at close to 6'1" maybe a little taller. No lifts in his loafers either -- he kicked them off at one point. A VERY nice man too. library nerd says on 26/Sep/06
the guy is six foot, not taller.. Jennifer says on 24/Apr/06
Wow... I lost a bet on this one! I thought for sure he was small... :( Sue says on 18/Mar/06
I've been a Barry fan for 25 years and I still don't know how tall he is, I'm nearly 5' 11" and i think he tends to walk awkwardly because from personal experience I know that some tall people don't know what to do with their bodies. They can be very self consciousness. In his bio's his height is listed as between 6 and 6'2". I have seen him wear cuban heels however and high heeled cowboy boots which would cause some confusion! I think he did mention once that in his bare feet he's exactly six foot! Glenn says on 10/Mar/06
6 Feet Is Correct. Horatio says on 10/Mar/06
I saw this guy on TV, and he was wearing shoes with comically large heels. They looked like women's shoes. CelebHeights Editor says on 22/Aug/05

From Manilow newsgroup:
"I'm 6 feet tall..I stood next to him and had to look up to him..he has to be at least 6' 2" or so..not sure..just know I had to look up at him a little :)"
"This summer I was about 3 feet away from him at the Copa Gala Party in Pittsburgh and was surprised that we were not that different in height. I'm 5'7" so I'd say 6' is about right"
"Barry's definitely six foot....I'm 6'2" and when I sang Can't Smile with him, I kicked off my 3" heels (for obvious reasons!), and with his shoes on, we were near the same height (but I was still a bit taller)"
"Barry said in a TV interview in 1985 that he's 6' tall, and at that time weighed 140" Shannon says on 21/Feb/05
I saw him out shopping and it struck me how tall he really was (I had always thought he was short) he's about 6'3" or so. That's how tall my husband is and he (Barry) was as tall or taller than he was and very thin. |
