All these tall chicks commenting about their own height here and on other tall womens threads( and whether its attractive or not)instead of on the 'general height' thread, are runing this websight. I dont care if you're tall or done growing or not. This is about Geena Davis. Otherwise shut up.

ps all the tall guys are way more handsome...and don't have arrogant short mans syndrom!
Which means basketball and football players should be better looking than baseball, track and field, or soccer players...

The tallest "Sexiest Man Alive" was Ben Affleck at only 6-2.5 which isn't really even tall to you. The rest of them have always been close to 5-11 (shorter than you).

BellanalitaBetsey says on 12/Jun/08
I am a about 6 foot and adore being tall! I don't wear heels so much just because i love flats, but everywhere i go people tell me how gorgeous i am and ask me who i model for...in my opinion its all about how you carry yourself...your posture can make a world of difference! If you always smile, and are friendly and walk and stand like you love being tall you'll dazzle everyone... take it from me! But work out a lot because you don't want to be over weight and tall, i'm 130 lbs. and i think thats about right. If you are a tall girl though, i think you should find friends who are tall too...because a group of beautiful tall girls out together will make everyone stare because in envy, but if your out with girls who are like 5 foot 2 you'll just stick out!
ps all the tall guys are way more handsome...and don't have arrogant short mans syndrom!

But actually tall women generally don't have beauty bias against them so I don't see what the reason for the 'tall women of the world unite' speeches. I often hear ppl say "short BUT pretty". Go take a look at the Natalie Portman page and you'll see it. I hear "Tall AND pretty". Seldom do I hear "Tall BUT pretty".

Macca says on 29/May/08
Good post jackie, im 6 foot flat and i love going out with girls my height. I think girls around the 6 mark and over have a real grace and unique beauty to them.

diana says on 27/May/08
she is definitely 6 foot no shorter no taller
also to tall women you girls she really love your height not hate it
i have a friend (5'6) who wore these disgusting looking flat sandal type shoes to prom because god forbid she would've been a little taller than the guy i honestly don't see the big deal

runt says on 24/May/08
Poor Geena Davis' problem is that she's not small boned. If she were small like Nicole Kidman her height wouldn't get in her way as much. She's "big" as opposed to just "tall". The same thing applies to short women. "short" is different from "petite". Petite means proportioned and miniature and not squat.

John Jay says on 16/May/08
I have seen Geena walking in manhattan twice, one time walking on the upper east side in the late 90s carrying a couple of grocery bags, she had on heels(short ones) and with these she seemed 6'1.5 I was about 5'10.5 back then and I didnt realise she was that tall, and the second time I seen her was a few years ago when I was 5'11.5, she did indeed seem shorter getting ready to cross 6 ave with a freind, but not by much she did not have heels on she looked right around 6 feet with normal footware on. Six Feet it is.

Jackie says on 15/May/08
This is ridiculous. I am 6 feet tall and as a division I athlete, I am very happy to be this height and I also have many good friends who are the same height. We are all thin and beautiful. We are all into fashion and guess what the whole point of heels and skinny jeans, etc... is to make SHORT girls look like us. Regardless, we still wear all of these things and yeah we get stared at because we are different AND hot. Why would any girl this tall want to be any shorter, and why would you want to be just like ALL THE OTHER girls. Sorry but these postings made me sick.

Lolo says on 22/Apr/08
Manolo Blahnick said that only tall women should wear high heels and I agree with him. I think tall women should be proud of her height no matter what other say...they probably are jealous if they say anything.

Rebecca says on 30/Mar/08
Theres nothin wrong with bein tall. Im 16 nd bout 6ft i'd say nd a size 10-12 so nat too bad!! Haha! I used to get bullied reli bad ova it for years but the bullies were like midgets compared to me!

Sher if ppl r annoyin ye bout it chances r der jealous of ya! I love bein my height!

Joe Cool says on 23/Mar/08
Being tall isnt bad, ppl are more likely to get made funn of cuz there short, average height for men is about 5-10 or 178cm, for woman 5-4 or 5-5 so 165cm i guess, so be proud to be tall im just shy of 6-2 and im 17, i might make 6-3, im happy but everythings relative threre will always be ppl u know taller than u and ppl shorter, and chances r u wont need to worry about being tall aslong as yur ok with yurself thats wat matters and most of the time ppl make fun of taller individuals because they are jealous

Elizabeth D. says on 9/Jan/08
no relation to Geena Davis, coincidentally her middle name is my first name, and we're both 6'0" tall. Interesting, same height. I once got billed as six-one in my senior year of high school

Wallace says on 6/Jan/08
Well it's not often Geena will be standing next to four other women and be shorter than two of them. But Jennie Finch is a legit 6'1" and Lisa Leslie towers over both Geena and Jennie since she's a whopping 6'5". Note how the other two (Coughlin and Mullins) are standing away from the six footers by themselves. Kinda funny...

AKK says on 4/Jan/08
Amy: It's better to be taller than shorter. I remember being young and wanting to be 6'(well, I'm second tallest among all my extended blood relations, so that's some comfort at least). Besides, tottering in high heels... I never really understood the appeal. :(

JI says on 5/Dec/07
I'm watching speechless right now, she is fricken tall! Looks like a solid six footer in it.

Amy says on 19/Nov/07
I'm about 5'11" (180cm exactly), and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't wish I was a lot shorter. It has nothing to do with guys at all. I'm not an attention-seeker at all, and I do get a lot of looks because of my height. I also adore shoes and would love to be able to wear some beautiful high heels. But I just don't dare - I dream of being 5'4". Then I could wear any shoes I liked without getting those horrible looks. I live in England where I think the average female height is about 5'3". Things were a lot easier when I was living in Scandinavia - I saw women taller than me several times a day. Here in the UK, it's maybe once or twice a month.

I can well imagine that a famous actress will not be bothered by being tall - she's probably well used to being looked at just because she's famous. And actresses by their very nature tend to be those who enjoy being at the centre of attantion.

Just read back what I previously posted, and it looks kind of like I'm being mean. I'm not, not intentionally, at least. I just don't want you all to be suffering from back and foot problems down the line. :)

PS. If you think 5'6 is too tall, it's not. Eliza Dushku is supposedly that height. I thought Jane Kaczmarak was like 6', but surprise, she's only about an inch below me. So yeah, some people are bigger than I expected, some are smaller.

diana says on 30/Sep/07
i think girls who are tall should be happy with themselves
the only reason people give tall girls grief is because they're taller than guys and a lot of them prob. want short girls to make them feel better about themselves so you should embrace your height...my cousin is 6'0 tall and she has no problem with it

I'll be honest. I like my tall women without heels. With heels, it mostly looks like overkill(to say nothing of pushing an already high Centre of Gravity even higher, to possibly unsafe levels). Leave them to the 5'0" women who need them just to be able to scrape their men's chins. ;)

Lisy says on 9/Sep/07
WOW!!! Im so glad that Im not the only tall girl around :) Im 6'1 and I hate my height but there is nothing I can really do about it. I guess I just need to accept my height for what it is and be happy because life is to short to always worry about what other might think. I love wearing high heels but feel way to tall in them. Im trying to be more positive about my height by not looking at it as a bad thing. Thanks to all of you that are so positive to us girls that are tall it really helps alot. :)

Bea says on 4/Sep/07
hey susan, i´m 185 too and 18 years old, and i know how it is to be tall at your age. I suffered too, I didn´t like it. But I don´t care anymore. you just have to wait, when you´ll be my age you´ll probably be happy with your height and with a handsome and tall boy as boyfriend (or short boy, that doesn´t matter, believe me!! )

mary says on 31/Aug/07
um, susan you should be proud of your height. tallness is better than short. Im 5'10 and love it. Embrace who you are and love yourself. Most guys like tall girls and I know i girl 6'2 and had plenty of boyfriends. Your gonna be alright.

christina says on 29/Aug/07
i wanna ask u a question: is it ok that at my age(i am 16) to be 5ft 6 tall?..i'd really like to know u're opinion..cuz i'm a little bit surprised cuz some persons told me that i am too tall for my age,some that i am too short..and now i don't know what to think...thanks

Xerxes says on 26/Aug/07
Did you consider the possibility that susan is a faker and might be messing with ur head to get these sympathies? By no means am I trying to insult anyone here, but I'm not ze politik, so tell me how do i wirt like this. Besides, geena davis doesnt give a crap about height as stated by the above quote, so if u really are the person you say you are, stop taking birth control pills - that's like mowing grass with your TV

Bad Radio says on 24/Aug/07
susan why are you ashamed of being tall??!! SCREW EVERYONE ELSE AND THEIR INSECURITIES !

dmeyer says on 13/Aug/07
is there a possibility she is over 6 ft

Cobra says on 13/Aug/07
Hm, I am male, 20 years old and a shade over 6ft1. I don`t care about the height girls have, expect I wouldn`t stand it that she is taller than me (or max 0,5", then I can wear my cowboy boots and be 6ft3 ;) ), which is practically never the case because of my own height.
I know this is kinda silly, but it is how it is.
@ Susan, don`t worry, many girls stop growing with 15. Hey, long legs are sexy!
They say to you you should be a model because you are tall and pretty so how can you be distressed by your own body?
And still, you are 1 cm shorter than me so no reason to worry about ;)

Sandra you are so smart,

its no point, i think a woman is only ideal if she is like 4.10 inches or 5.00, the rest of us could be out of place for somebody. i have heard guys say women over 5.8 should not wear heels! how silly is that?

I think confidence is a big thing, really, i have seen women wear heels, even tall, and make it soooo good looking, kind of magazine cover like, then i have seen selfconcsious women do it.

general rule for wearing heels, you must be slim, and keep your figure well, dont be fat. even if your big, if you make yourself pretty that should be ok, just dont look like a tall woman trying to hide her height!

Sandra says on 14/Jul/07
Tall1, you can wear high heels if you feel comfortable in them. If not, better opt for lower heels. With more comfortable heels you will feel better and walk straight. There are much smaller women than you who do not wear heels as well because they are afraid they might look too tall. I do not understand why so many tall, thin a beautiful women have such problems to accept their height. It has much to do with people making remarks about their tall figures, but these tall women do not realize that a lot of such remarks are not meant badly. My suggestion to you is following: you are 6' so walk straight and proud. Wear lower heels (up to 2") so you feel good and at ease.

TALL1 says on 9/Jul/07
i'm about 5'11 or 6'0 feet tall and sometimes i'm self conscious about it. And i love high heel shoes but-when ever i where them i get nervous taht people think i'm weird or too tall!! what do you think? do any of you where high heels?

msn87 says on 11/Jun/07
the shocking fact is that there are more alien big girls around than one expects. i knew a girl once during boarding school, she was nearly as tall as me if she stood straight up. of cause around that time i wasn't a obsessed height-freak here on celebheights. at that time(2003)i was 6'1. today it creeps me out a little sometimes, cause she probably has grown a little since like me. oh, what the heck...

msn87 says on 10/Jun/07
you're right, it's not o.k to say things like that but 6'4 that's just so not charming. i wouldn't say i have a complex, but when women are taller than me it's just not right. Davis height can go on but not taller.

love2btall says on 10/Jun/07
msn87 you are always saying "gross" and "disgusting" about tall women. Why don't you grow up? It is so obvious you have a complex. Plenty of men prefer taller women. Either you are a short man or a short woman. Get over it.

msn87 says on 8/Jun/07
are you 6'4?...gross. of cause you're told that you're beautiful, because the ones who told you that, are obviously scared and fear for their lives; you might accidently crush them, woman!

but your like done growing julia?...

Hey "Cute," I'm 6'4" inches tall and I'm told that I am beautiful. I don't feel like a gieant, just that there are a lot of small minded (pun intended) people out there that I have to contend with! And how tall are you?????

I think geen should be proud of her height!!
my mom is about 6 feet tall also..
and my dad is 6'3, i am 15 and i am 5'5.5 already, so i am going to be tall..
i think that tall people are usually seen as generally more friendly people,. not that short people aren't, i jusyt thihnk that tall women should be proud, there's enough tall men out there for the tall women!

cute says on 20/Apr/07
of course she would domwgrade herself.. it's sometimes pretty to be tall.. but 6ft 0 in??? taller than many guyes...or same height... i understand why she would domwgrade herself... she must feel like a giant.... average height for males in U.S.A is 177...

ttujtyjgjgh says on 27/Feb/07
Really? She would downplay her height? Most attribute "tall" to wonderful adjectives like "leggy" and "svelte," which she certainly earned in "Earth Girls..."

MilNEMGaL says on 25/Feb/07
dmeyer- Back in the 50's they actually built a 12" ditch for Sophia Loren (5'10") to walk next to her co-star, - Alan Ladd- who was about 5'6", I think. Hollywood productions have come a long way since then. Who doesn't think Robert Redford (the shortest "5'10" I've ever seen!) didn't look tall in the saddle in Butch Cassidy? Frankly, he's more like 5'8". I stood right next to him and I am 5'11". All I can say is if he is 5'10", I'm 6'2"!!
Smoke and mirrors..........smoke and mirrors!!

In "Transylvania 6-5000" Davis does scenes with Jeff Goldblum, Ed Begley Jr., and Michael Richards. She looks 5'11" or 6'

Geena is about 6'. I once stood behind her at the ATM machine across the street from Warner Brothers Studio in Burbank. She wore funky shoes with one-inch heels and was about an inch taller than me.

[Editor Rob: is that the tallest ever actress you've seen then? Ever seen bridgette or sigourney?]

i say, the taller the better.

You know she's really tall just by looking at her legs. They go on forever.

Brett says on 14/Feb/06
Yeh, I dunno, she just looked scary big at the Golden Globes, Dwarfing all and Sundry. Plus I mean she is easily taller then Sutherland in heels, and He was like 6'3" at his peak, im sure less nowadays, but still she looked like she was 6'3" or so.

Viper652 says on 13/Feb/06
Also, If she was that much taller in heels then Julian Mcmahan, Julian might be struggling with 6-0, which is hard to beleive. I beleive he is really 6-1.5

Viper652 says on 13/Feb/06
TO is 6-2 measured combine height Brett.

Brett says on 12/Feb/06
haha but in those pics Rob she looks under 6'0", so how can their be such fluctuations in her height.

Stood next to Geena davis when she was shooting Angie I says. Iam six feet. She was an inch or two shorter.

Anonymous says on 29/Jan/06
true, but she really looked comfortably bigger, and my god she looked huge at the golden globes, she was noticably taller then Julian Mcmahon, whoes like 6'2.5" isnt he?

Brett says on 20/Jan/06
I think Geena Davis could even be more then 6'0", I mean she is taller then Donald Sutherland whoes meant to be 6'3", and no doubt she was in heels, but still, I think she could be 6'1". I feel sorry for women that big and tall, its rather scary and unattractive

[Editor Rob: possibly...although Sutherland can look shorter with posture at his age?]

Raz says on 12/Jan/06
Just read an article about her fiancé from the time she spent in Sweden as a foreign exchange student. In the article, he refers to her height as being 183 cm at the time. This was in 1974.
Here's the article (in Swedish): http://www.aftonbladet.se/vss/nyheter/story/0,2789,761235,00.html

Anshelm says on 18/Oct/05
She looked only slightly – maybe an inch, but not two – taller than Jay Leno, and she was wearing heels. So this would make her probably the shorter of the two, and I'd put Leno at c. 178 cm/5'10". But before this I always thought she looked the 183 cm/6' she should be. This calls for further investigation...

Didn't they say she was 5'10" in Thelma & Louise? Havent seen the pic in a while, but I have a pretty good memory (recited 2,146 decimals of the pi once). And it was a movie line anyway – hardly the best source of information.

Qwerty says on 16/Sep/05
Yeah her height is very unique but then again - im 5ft7, i have about 3 friends [who are girls like myself] and they are bridging the 5ft11-6ft mark! When I'm near them I feel short - its fantastic!

In America, Geena's height is quite exceptional, since she's 6 cm's ABOVE average male height (177 cm).

No reason to hide your height Greena.
I'm from Holland and women are realy tall here. 6' is no exception for girls! I know women who are even taller than myself (187cm) over 6'2", about 190cm.

But most men are taller here too. I know quite some guys who are about 6'6" (200cm). I think my height is about the normal height here while I read somewhere that the normal height for men is about 175cm.

People are getting taller and taller and Greena is one of the first taller female celeberties. There will follow more. Heidi Klum is pretty tall too. And the one that plays Peggy in married with children is real tall too, I think.
