Frank2 is right on the money. Probably 6' at this youthful peak and by the 1980s and 90s he was 5'11" I know this for a fact as I did a play with George just a few years before he died. I rehearsed and performed scenes with him over a period of several months. I am 5'9" and he was exactly two inches taller than me. He was never shorter than 5'11" Marcelo C. says on 28/Feb/08
Lawrence: What you expressed below makes sense. On screen, G.P. looks more likely to be 5´11" or so, than 6´. I agree with you.

Peppard's actually height was 5'11 and a half. He stated in a magazine that he hated to admit that he wasn't six feet. MHouillon says on 5/Oct/06
I think also, that Peppard WAS 183cm in his prime, and 181cm-182cm during th A-Team-time. Frank2 says on 23/Apr/06
Peppard was 6' tall when he was young. By the time of that series he had shrunk by about an inch to an inch and a half. Dirk was about 5'11". Rut says on 22/Apr/06
Peppard lifts?? ridiculous!
Ohyeah! I think Benedict was more like 5.10 3/4 because I have him at 179cm in a book, not that much of a deal, but maybe you liked to know.. Frank2 says on 24/Mar/06
Peppard was 6', period! End of argument. I met him and he was taller than me by an inch. Hepburn wore two inch heels in Breakfast at Tiffany's and when they're together Peppard is four inches taller. I'm watching the film right now. Go by the long shots, not the damned close up's. It was routine to rearrange actors so they'd appear closer to the same height in close up's. It was an aesthetic thing. I know what I'm talking about. Stiffelio says on 9/Mar/06
I insist: please re-watch Breakfast at Tiffany's. Peppard is only marginally taller than Hepburn there, not the 5" difference inplied by Frank2. So, either she's taller than 5ft 7in or Peppard is horter than 6ft...or both! Frank2 says on 8/Mar/06
Peppard was six feet. I met him twice and both times he was taller than me by an inch. And Audrey was exactly 5'7" and wore shoes with one to two inch heels so she wouldn't look too tall with her leading men. Stiffelio says on 30/Nov/05
Perhaps he was wearing lifts by the time of A-Team. So many people we've discussed in this forum do, or we assume they do, so why not Peppard. Gotxo says on 29/Nov/05
In the A-team he looks taller than dirk benedict. Who knows maybe that feller was not 5'11 too. But 6 feet to him doesn't look excessive. Stiffelio says on 29/Nov/05
I saw Breakfast at Tiffany's last night. There's a scene where Peppard is barefooted and Hepburn is wearing pumps and he looks barely two inches taller than her. My guess is Peppard was 5ft 10" max. itziar says on 5/Sep/05
so how can you list Audrey Hepburn as a 5'7''?? if George Peppard is/was (don't know) 6ft, Audrey must have been 5'9'' at least!!! |
