if she wrote then in her book that she is 5.0 then it is true. probably now is 4.11 because she srunk with ages.
In her autobiography says on 23/Oct/09
She specifically mentions her height and states herself to be 5'2... perhaps she got re-measured since the early '90s and with age has shrunk, but she said since age 12 she stopped at 5'2- that is def her at her "height" of height. Marcy says on 1/Oct/09
I met her I'm 5'2 and she was the same height and I had very high heels on.... mac says on 7/Sep/09
definitely a shade under 5ft now. taller when she's lying down, though. Mister Lennon says on 11/Oct/08
5' at peak and now probably less. Never 5'1 or 5'2. Hannah says on 21/Sep/08

You can't see the footwear but from Dolly's stance you can tell that she's standing on platforms. She's slightly taller than Cyrus, who's probably in modest heels tops (Parton would need +5in heels otherwise to appear taller than Cyrus).
I see 5ft5/5ft5½ for Cyrus and 5ft5½/5ft6 for Parton. Rob's listing seems therefore reasonably accurate IMO, though based on this pic she might be half an inch taller. It basically boils down the Cyrus' footwear; if she wore ballerinas or something instead of the modest heel/sole I'd say Parton is indeed 5ft tall. CHRIS says on 2/Sep/08
i don't believe that shes that short cuz on hannah montana she taller than Miley Cyrus and Miley Cyrus is 5'5" Josephine says on 12/Jul/08
If she was 5'0" tall back in 1984, then she is probably 4'11" these days. I adore Dolly, she wouldn't be Dolly Parton if she was 5'8" tall! StS says on 6/May/08
To "TR": You're so lucky! Got to sit next to Dolly Parton on a flight! She's coming here to Sweden in June, maybe I'll should try to catch her at the airport, after all, the airport closest to Malmö (<-performing there)is pretty small :P Anon says on 29/Jan/08
went to see her in cocncert last year!!! I was 2 rows from the front, and really shocked at her height! I was expecting her to be tiny, but she wasn't, although she did have HUUUGE heels on. I'd say she's 5'0 now, although she probably used to be 5'1 or 5'2, but remember you shrink as you get older. But i love dolly shes fabulous xoxoxox GRACE says on 30/Dec/07
she guest starred on hannah montana and compared to miley she looked 5'6 tania tich says on 24/Aug/07
I'm 4.11" but I think Dolly is small and terryfic, you don't get half as much of her southern songs over here and we should she a great singer, and just a bit taller than me but still amazing! Brad says on 24/Apr/07
Made Sly look 6' 2". TR says on 13/Apr/07
Seatmate with Dolly on LA flight, American Airlines. Super lady and no more than 5ft even, Editor Rob says on 8/Sep/06

In 1984, quoted in Lexington Herald Leader:
"I'm only 5 foot tall. I'm very small. A lot of people think I'm much bigger" Brad says on 15/Aug/06
5' 0" at the University Hills Mall Denver signing her book. I told her I loved the tale of her packing some Tennessee iron (gun) in '64 visiting NYC. She laughed her wig off. Squa says on 27/Mar/05
Actually Dolly Parton is only 5 ft tall.. I have once heard, what even Danny DeVito is slighty taller than her, and he is about 5 feet tall. |
