states that according to Grace Kelly's comp cards as a fashion model, she was 5'9.
Perhaps back then it was fashionable for women to be on the small and dainty size. 5'9 is fairly tall for a woman by todays standards, I can imagine what it was back then. Maybe they deliberately listed her as shorter? Anonymous says on 21/Aug/07
3 days ago I was in Monte Carlo and i saw her exhibition, marking the 25th year of her death, which showed all facets of her life, from when she was a kid to when she died. I would recommend it to anyone, as it was really very well put together and showed personal parts of her life. Anyway, there were mannequins which had her most well know clothes on, and my sister, who is 5 ft 7 1/2, said all her dresses would be of a perfect length for herself, and the mannequins themselves were about my sisters height, so about 5 ft. 7 is correct.

When Grace is pictured next to the Prince in small heels she is shown as somewhat shorter than his 5'6". Maybe he wore lifts! I have met people who knew her and they say she was very tall. You can see this when she stands next to Princess Diana. Editor Rob says on 27/Apr/06
In 1991 book 'Her life and Loves', "Rainer was 5ft 7, the same as Grace, although Margaret claimed her daughter was actually closer to 5ft 8" cicilolo says on 2/Apr/06
Yeah she's defintley 5'7. Cliff says on 23/Dec/05
She was about this height. Just watched "Mogambo" on DVD and she was around five inches shorter than Gable, and about an inch taller than Ava Gardner. "Mogambo" is a remake of "Red Dust" wich Gable made 21 years earlier with Jean Harlow, who looked like a small child standing next to Gable (but was still much better than Gardber in the role!) |
