How tall was Irene Dunne

Irene Dunne's Height

5ft 4 ½ (163.8 cm)

American actress, best remembered for roles in films Show Boat, Penny Serenade, My Favourite Wife and The Awful Truth.
It was a difficult part to played because of the make-up and because I was too tall. [Queen] Victoria was 5 feet 2 inches tall and I am 5 feet 5 ½ inches. So I played in my stocking feet beneath my floor length dresses and we had chairs built larger to give the impression that I was short.
-- 1950

Any chance she was her fairly specific claim Rob?

there's a chance, but from last time I looked I thought maybe 5ft 5 was nearer. I think sometimes half inches really are the truth, other times it is just a little embellishment

Can look a bit taller in The Awful Truth.
