Kennedy may have been face to face with Van Cleef, but had about 2 inches on him.

I watched "IN HARM'S WAY" recently and was stunned to see that George Kennedy towered over John Wayne be at least three inches... not just in one scene from one angle, but in every scene they appeared in simultaneously. NOONE says on 17/May/09
I JUST MET MR KENNEDY IN PERSON AND HE IS A VERY TALL EVEN AT 84 Hugh says on 3/Jan/09
Well, Gert these days Clint has looked to have lost a considerable amount. standing 6ft1. But wow Heston at 6ft2.5. Gert says on 2/Jan/09
To Hugh - yes, that was my point. Heston at 77, he was taller than me.(6'1) I would say 6'2 and a half maybe...he was already sick at the time...it was obvious, but he was very graceful and walked very fast, I remember. I didn't talk to Mr, Heston, though, but went to his line and was standing just behind him. To this day I regret that I didn't talk to him. Now it is too late. I would love to meet Mr. Kennedy too - I believe he and Mr. Heston were good friends. I also met/saw Mr. Heston in London after he had performed at the stage and at that time he was clearly a solid 6'3 or even a little more. A very imposing and powerful man - exactly like we see him in his many movies. There is a picture of Mr. Heston standing with Clint Eastwood - and that picture gives you a completely wrong angle/impression of the two, since Kennedy and Eastwood is about the same height. Pictures can be very inaccuarate when it comes to height. Hugh says on 31/Dec/08
Ray you just think it's ridiculous because you yourself are under 6ft1 and want people to either feel sorry for yourself or want to make yourself out to be a taller guy? Connery could've been close to 6ft3 some years ago. Hugh says on 31/Dec/08
Was he taller than you, Gert? Gert says on 30/Dec/08
It is not correct when Stephen says that Kenney looked one inch taller that Hetson in their movies together. Just for fun once I put my DVD on pause when they were standing just opposite each other in Airport 75 - and they looked each other right in the eye. Exactly same height, even if Kennedy is noted for 6'4 and Heston 6'3. I met Heston in 2000 in Studio City at the Coldwater Canyon Ralph's grocery store and he was still a tall man at 77- and I am 6'1. Roger Field says on 15/Nov/08
Ray, to answer your question, Arnold Schwarzenegger told me in Munich in 1968 that he was 1m 87cm tall (almost 6'2" barefoot) and I stood next to Sean Connery at the opening of "From Russia With Love" in London in 1963 and I would say that he was right on 6'2" barefoot. Roger Field Hugh says on 10/Sep/08
Connery is 6ft2 now. Scott B. says on 24/May/08
Kennedy could of been 6'5 in his prime. He was an inch taller than Dan Blocker in an Episode of Bonanza. Roger Field says on 29/Feb/08
I ran into George Kennedy at Bavaria Studios in Munich many years ago. He was taller than Sean Connery, Lee Marvin and Schwarzenegger, all of whom I stood next to, at least 6'4" I would say. Mr. Kennedy is a very friendly person. Roger Field Gonzalo says on 27/Aug/07
Kennedy was taller than James Stewart in one of those airplanes movies. And he was about four inches taller than Nielsen in The Naked Gun. No less than 6`4 in his prime sam says on 9/Aug/07
From what I recall, Kennedy was about 1.5-2 inches over Simpson in The Naked Gun. BBklang says on 18/Mar/07
One of the yeraly 80's Lesely Nelson play's a ediot cop George Kenndy and O.J Simpson are in the movie beside each other in several scenes.They are the samr hieght.Simpson is 6'0". Stephen says on 13/Sep/06
I think George was about 6'3", maybe 6'3.5" in his prime. He looked to be about the same height as Clint Eastwood and about an inch taller than Charlton in the movies they were in together. Heston is about about 6'2.5". Mario says on 11/Aug/06
Kennedy face to face to 6 ft 2 Lee van Cleef.
Click Here Roy's Nephew says on 24/Jul/06
I seem to recall George Kennedy on the Johnny Carson show saying that he was 6' 4". This was when his TV show "Sarge" was on, in which he played a priest/ex-cop. Carson asked if he had played high school football, & Kennedy said he had been given no choice in the matter, that guys his size were FORCED to play football in high school.

I just watched an episode of Charmed that she was in (Don't know the name of it but its the one where she is vanquished and Phoebe and Piper find out Leo is an Avitar) and she and Milano have many scenes together wearing 3 inch heels both and there really wasn't much difference between them at all- 3 inches max!!!! |
