A driver's license means nothing. Many people list optimistic heights and get away with it since most DMVs do not check it. In fact the people at my DMV are so brain-dead I could be 5'2", put down 6' and they wouldn't blink an eye. Something to do with having a job where it's almost impossible to be fired.

Well, when I met Barry he was only slightly taller than me, about the same difference as when I met Elvis. And Peter Falk never stands up straight. I saw Peter for years when I worked at Universal. Sometimes he looked like he was 5'3" from being so slouched. I could always tell where he was in the editing building since he smoked the foulest smelling cigars imaginable. Back then almost everyone smoked and smoked indoors, but Peter's cigars were strong enough to blanket all the other odors.
And I'd like to see Elvis's recorded height while in the army. Do you know where I can see the official document?

I lose about a quarter of an inch by the time I retire to bed. Frank2 says on 17/Apr/06
Gene was just shy of six feet. I met him and he wasn't hardly that much taller than me. But Rob just emailed me after I sent him a few more shots of me with various people and he suggested that I re-measure myself.....at night! ForensicNYC says on 17/Apr/06
Gene Barry evokes memories of Black & White TV with OVAL screens, Episodes of "Bat Masterson" and "Burke's Law", and the clicking knobb of the channel changer... I faintly recall a very funny "Burkes Law" episode in which Gene Barry and Cantinflas (Mario Moreno Reyes) were togethere. Cantinflas was about 5'6" and topped out at Genes eye level, so 6'0" for Gene Barry looks pretty close. |
