As reported by Jerry Lewis in the book "Dean and Me" both Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis were 6 feet tall on the button. Jerry claims to have had lifts added to Deans shoes to make him appear taller while Jerry would work in a "crouch" to maintain the apperance of being the "little guy." I don't see any reason for Jerry Lewis to make this up and so I therefore believe that Dean Martin was exactly 6 feet tall.

I once ran into Martin on Broadway in NY and he seemed taller than I am. I pegged him over 6 ft because I am 5 11. jwwjr says on 10/Nov/11
On perry como show may 1957. Dean is only 2 and half in or so, taller than Perry.Wow,that would make Dean, 5'8 to 5'9"?!!Maybe he forgot his lifts. Sabine says on 24/Sep/11

I believe Lee J. Cobb was 5' 10.5 (179 cm) actually. He was towered by 6' 4" Eastwood in Coogan's Bluff but did look tall on occasion in front of the camera (for that era). Cobb was substantially shorter than 6' 1.5 Henry Fonda however, maybe 3 inches, hence my 179 cm guess for him. Sam says on 8/Apr/11
I didn't get the impression that he towered over Judy Holliday in Bells Are Ringing. He definitely wasn't wearing lifts in most of their scenes together (with many dancing & full-body shots). He did look close to 5'10.5" Russ says on 15/Mar/11
Dean Martin was never tall. Tall average maybe. Only a couple of inches taller than Frank Sinatra, who was a little guy, around 5'6. So I'd say no taller than 5'9. Anonymous says on 28/Nov/10
An inch shorter than peter Lawford. at 6' So, 5'11" seems right. |
