Michaela Conlin can stay 5'9 forever in CB.com but Emily is pretty well always 1.25" minimum shorter. Emily can't be 5'8 really not over 172cm.

It would appear that Emily does not star in the sequels to 'Boogeyman', but by checking out this bit of information, I did find out that she stars in Stephen King's 'Rose Red' and also in one of my favourite feel-good movies of all time: 'It Could Happen to You'.

I'd like to know if Emily has starred in the excellent follow-ups to the original Boogeyman film. I think I'll go and check this little conundrum out for myself....

This lady to me is one of the most beautiful women in the world. Her character though on Bones while perfect for the role would not be someone I would be interested in romantically I always found Bones off putting. Way too clinical and weird. Perfect height for a woman imo strong 5'7 to weak 5'8 range for Bones.

I went to this page to see a picture of Emily to see if her eyes are as blue as her sister's, and I don't think they are!
But she is a surprisingly tall 5ft8 - considerably taller than Zooey! I didn't think I'd seen her act, but I must have done - in 'Boogeyman'!
I'll settle for 5ft8 for her then!

If Michaela Conlin is 5'9 then Deschanel is no way over 5'7.75 , i couldn't see under 3cm difference and it look more like 4cm

Rob how much height do these heels add?
Editor Rob although the front might be at most 1/4 inch, they could still be high angle and give 3 inches of height.

She looks pregnant in that pic, Rob, so I was a bit surprised that she wore high heels.

Full body shot of Emily with 5'9 Michaela Conlin in quite similar high heels. Michaela is closer to the camera but even then: I see more than half inch height difference between them, maybe 2 inches? Click Here
What could cause such a big gap between their height in this pic, Rob? Is it possible that Emily is shorter than 5'8?

Editor Rob I think in other shots there's about an inch or 1.5, she is pregnant there? 5ft 8 is probably is the most she could be.

See Rob, you see what I mean. Some girls have a nice frame, giving off a tall impression. In your opinion, what does a nice frame mean? Does it mean just long legs? Are Emily's legs long for her height? Or does a nice frame consist of other thing? A lot of people think Emily is taller.

Editor Rob slim frame and elongated legs through both having slightly long legs, but clothing can all help.

Editor Rob
Rob, do you think her proportions make her look 5 ft 10 in the way Marcia Cross has always been considered very tall?
Editor Rob yes she could be like that, a nice frame giving off a quite tall impression at times. Marcia though when you see her with others - like in her scenes with Brian Austin Green in Desperate Housewives - well, she can look even under 5ft 8 mark!

Very lucky to reach this height, her mother is really quite tiny and her dad not that tall either, shorter than Alec Baldwin!

Closer to 5'7.5 or 5'7. Better posture, but still a good inch or so shorter than Michaela Conlin at 5'8ish. Beside Boreanaz, without heels, it is clear that she is not as tall as she seems...mostly the product of very strong posture.

Emily's definitely more than an inch shorter than 5'9 Michaela Conlin. So there's no way she's 5'9. Click Here Click Here

I think 5'9.5 is more accurate, she is never dwarfed by Boreanaz, plus she can look really huge in heels.

Looks about right. She was in heels on Ellen and she literally towered over her. The heels put her nearly into Clint Eastwood territory(in terms of how much she loomed over Ellen's head).

Based on Bones she looks like a strong 5ft8. This is pretty close.

Almost every single other source says that she's 5'9...which is weird though because David Boreanez is 6'1 and she does look that much shorter than him on the show

i saw TONIGHT SHOW with Deschanel and Dominic Monaghan, she had heels, he had formal shoes, she was at least 7 to 10cm taller.
Dominic is a 170cm she is 174-175cm.....he got say 3cm shoes, she got 10cm (6cm real) heels....
DOminic = 170 + 3 = 173cm
Deschanel = 174 + 6 = 180cm
in the end...EMILY DESCHANEL = 174cm real barefoot height.
and yes....SARAH WAYNE CALLIES is a true 175cm maybe even 176cm. ;)

Jimmy Kimmel is probably shorter than he claims and she can't reach him either. I think he's only 6 flat.

On the show she does it is not often that she wears heels and Boreanaz is not only a tall man, but is extremely built very broad shoulders whereas she is tiny so of course she will look shorter.

5'8 for me, 90% sure.
that picture with Boreanaz is the definitive comfirmation that she is 5'8 (she can look even 5'7 at times).
Sarah Wayne Callies is a real 1.75, Deschanel is not. :)

I would say no more than 5'8! Even that is too much. Because even in heels, and I am guessing she is wearing three to four inch heels, she can't reach David's height, which she should be able to if she in fact is 5'9 as she claims!
I mean that actress who played Lilah Morgan on Angel is 5'9/175 cm. and she is just about as tall as David when she wears three to four inch shoes.
