Hugh 191cm says on 6/Nov/09
186cm, He looked 1 inch under a 189cm peak Connery

Sam says on 30/Oct/09
Jack wore one inch lifts in his boots and wore his famous pompadour hairstyle to add to his height. This is FACT folks. 6 ft 1 flat footed and 6 ft 2 or 3 with high hair and lifts.

Hugh 191cm says on 26/Sep/09
He was about an inch under connery

Lenad says on 3/Jul/09
1-2 inches under Connery. Had he been 188cm let alone 187 he'd had looked similar height to Sean Connery which he didnt.

Lenad says on 22/Jun/09
No way was he ever 6ft2

Frank2 says on 17/Jun/09
6'1" barefoot. 6'2" when you add his hair.

Mike says on 15/Jun/09
Just saw him in a '72 episode with 6'3 Richard Anderson. 6'1 seems about right for Lord.

Tom says on 5/May/09
I saw a season four episode of Hawaii Five-0 last night from late 1971 and Buddy Ebsen was an inch to an inch and 1/2 taller than Jack Lord. I would give Jack 6 ft 1 in and Bubby Ebsen 6 ft 2.5 in

Doug says on 29/Apr/09
In some scenes he did look 1.5 inches shorter I'll give you that. The best scnee to evaluate is the one where they initially mean after the bust up with Quarrel in the store room. Lord looked a little taller with his quiff. Take away the quiff and level the top of his head and Connery was 0.5-1" taller.

Doug says on 29/Apr/09
There was never 1.5 inches between Lord and COnnery, 1" MAX. Personally I saw 0.5".

Doug says on 29/Apr/09
Funny you mentioned Elvis actually as I thought Lord resembled him very closely. Lord was marginally shorter than Sean Connery 0.5-1" max. I think he looked a legit 6'1", making COnnery 6'1.5"-6'2". Yeah thats about right. I heard somewhere the FBI listed Lord as 6'0". How did they get that?

Tom says on 24/Apr/09
Jack was 6 ft 1 in. Elvis was 5 ft 11 in, not 5 ft 11.75. Jack was two inches taller.

Anonymous says on 29/Mar/09
Elvis Presley was a quarter inch under six feet so he was 5'11 and 3/4" and in the photo next to Jack Lord, I would estimate Jack at an even 6' 1"

Antonio says on 23/Mar/09
Just saw him on an old Bonanza re-run. He didn't look 6-1. I think closer to 5-11 to 6-0.

Do you folks remember him as "Stony Burke"? As a little boy I loved that show.

Mike says on 18/Mar/09
Ok, Frank2.....You know I pretty much put my faith in all of your posts. But On Chris Walken's page, you say he's exactly 6'0, but here...you say well over 6'0, like 6'1. I just watched him on a Hawaii 5-0 dvd, and am trying to gage Lord's height (forgetting shoes and potential lifts, of course)

Tim says on 11/Jan/09
I agree with Michael. I would say Jack Lord was between 6' and 6' 1" and to appear 6 ft 2 in., he had "BIG hair" which gave him an inch or two plus he wore one inch lifts in his shoes. I heard this from a very reliable source from the TV show Hawaii 5-0.

Hugh says on 10/Jan/09
He looked tall at times. 6ft1.5 peak maybe? He probably shrunk a little and was around 185cm by the time of hid death.

Michael says on 9/Jan/09
Jack Lord was between 6' and 6' 1". Also, he did not wear a wig as many people have specualted. My cousin was his hairdresser on the set of Five-O, and she told me he let his hair grow to a pompadour to make him appear taller. In order to keep it in place, she used a lot of hairspray to maintain the pompadour look.

Hugh says on 5/Jan/09
This seems fair. That still makes Conenry 6ft2.5. 1.5 inches between them.

Lenad says on 19/Nov/08
Finally Rob you downgraded him! Also maybe it wasnt easily a couple of inches difference but if he were a 187cm guy he would look similar height to Sean Connery which he didnt so thank god you downgraded this guy!

Kono says on 8/Nov/08
Jack Lord used an expensive wig and wore one inch shoe lifts when filming Hawaii 5-0 FACT.

DJ says on 5/Nov/08
Elvis Presley was 5'11 according to what his step brother Rick Stanley told me in an interview for Christian radio back in 1981 or 1982. Presley and/or his PR folk bumped the sub 6'0 King up to heights great as 6'2 if recollection mine true.

jon says on 25/Oct/08
elvis was a 6 footer and he doesnt look that much taller then elvis maybe an inch more in a few pictures that i have seen.

Hugh says on 18/Oct/08
Maybe Connery was closer to 6ft3 back then. He certainly looked it.

Lenad says on 2/Oct/08
This 6'1.5 listing is a joke! In Dr No he is easily a couple of inches shorter than Sean Connery!

Tony says on 12/Sep/08
6 ft tops. Lord wore boots with lifts in Hawaii 5-0 . FACT

Lenad says on 30/Aug/08
I just watched Dr No and 6'2 Sean Connery had easy 2 inches on him so unless Connery was actually 6'4 then I doubt Lord was anymore than 6'0 in his prime.

Mike says on 13/Jul/08
Hi Spearmintrhino...Sorry for the delay, it's just that I only browse this site periodically. Thanks for the response. Nice offer to email photos, but I'm ok for now. At 42, I'm just a fan of Hawaii 5-0, and many other 60's and 70's shows...and the stars, there-of. So Lord's boots had lifts. Interesting stuff. I just love little tidbits of trivia like that. Now if I just knew whether Lee Majors wore lifts.

He was 6 foot and no more.

Yes, i'm for real. spearmintrhino is my ebay user id. i purposely used that name so you could check the ebay auction. But as of now it's waay too late as it was almost a year ago that i received them. These suits are not his, they are his COSTUMES from H5-0. Made specifically for him, as the labels inside have his name. One is navy and the other is tan, they came with photos from the specific episodes they were used in...one of em was from a WO FAT EPISODE!!! that was the one i really wanted and i'm glad i got it. Personal photos they were auctioning off show him as being a more flashy dresser, lots of open shirts with either a cravat or neckerchief. I can send photos, if interested contact me through my ebay userid.

greg says on 26/Feb/08
6 foot max, and rob 5 1 11''

Brabek says on 9/Nov/07
Jack Lord appeared on the Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour (October 19, 1971)and he looked about the same height as Glen Campbell who is 5 ft 11.

JLlover says on 4/Oct/07
Jack Lord was pretty tall, I know. =) That dude was an awesome one.

Mr. Anonymous says on 19/Jul/07
I was just looking at Jack Lord's in the movie data base profile and there's a pic with him and Sean Connery standing beside each other in "Dr.No". Correct me if I'm wrong but Jack looks a good 3inches shorter than Sean. The angle might be off a little but does anyone see what I see....looking at this pic he doesn't look more than 5'11".

spearmintrhino says on 3/Jul/07
I just received the second suit I won on ebay and this pair of shoes does NOT have lifts in them. Maybe he wore lifts on TV when his co-stars were as tall or taller than him so he didn't look short and he wore shoes without lifts on shows where everyone was shorter than him.

spearmintrhino says on 26/Jun/07
I'm guessing JL was 6' or 6'1", I'm making an educated guess because I recently purchased two of his suits he wore on Hawaii 5-0. I really wanted them being a H5-0 fan but more importantly the suits included his boots and they are my size (i knew the clothes wouldn't fit being i'm a little bigger than he was). I was wearing the boots and they have a high heel and it was hard for me to walk around in. I was kinda disappointed because I wouldn't be able to wear them for fear of breaking my neck. My neighbor came over and I showed her the suit and told her about the boots. She looked at them, felt inside and informed me there were lifts inside. Sure enough he wore lifts. I measured them at the thickest part around the heel and they were one and a half inches thick. So if he was "officially" 6 ft 1.5 in then in reality he was 6 feet tall. But most of that height was leg because the pants have a 35 inch inseam. I'm 6' tall and my inseam is 32 inches

TJ says on 22/Jun/07
6'2 seeme very likely as he did look quite a bit taller than Elvis, but shoes can't be seen in the pic and it was the era of cubans.

Brabek says on 21/Jun/07
There is a picture of Jack Lord with Elvis and he looks 2 inches taller than Elvis. So 6 ft 1 for Jack lord makes sense.

JC says on 15/Apr/07
I knew Jack Lord...He was TALL...6 feet 2 inches is correct...He was taller when wearing his trademark boots...

Anonymous says on 9/Apr/07
Hawaii 5-0 was recently released on DVD and in watching these episodes from 1968/1969 Jack Lord looks to be around 6'2". He is very thin which makes him look taller. Some shots of his feet reveal shoes that may have lifts in them, but nothing excessive (think current Jerry Lewis footwear).

I just don't buy the reports that he was 6'0" or even below. The height differential between him and most of the actors, including the guest stars, on this show is too great.

Book 'em at 6'2".

AA says on 19/Jan/07
I've read that he was actually pretty short, about 5'10" and they covered it up during Hawaii Five-O. He is described in his biography as a 6'2", but he was actually 6'... now I'm not sure, but I believe if he really is short, max 5'11"... no shorter than this!

Glenn says on 24/Dec/06
I find that interesting BLT.why would there be a short rumor on him?

BLT says on 23/Dec/06
I heard a radio show a few years ago, in which the host said that Jack Lord had a secret--that he was actually very short and went to great lengths to cover it up. He didn't say HOW short he was,though. And 6'-6'1" is hardly "very short." He looks pretty tall to me, on Hawaii 5-0. But in the movie The Court Martial of Billy Mitchell, he is a couple of inches shorter than Gary Cooper, who was 6'2"-6'3". So, I would say that he was around 6'-6'1". Also, in Dr. No, I thought he looked the same height as Sean Connery. In an early scene, when both are sitting together on a little boat, they both appear to be the exact same height, and both their feet could be seen in the boat.

So, who knows? But I don't classify 6'-6'1" as being "very short." I do know he knocked 10 years off his age, in his official biography, and THAT is the great "secret" I thought the radio host had originally been alluding to. he certainly didn't look 42 to Connery's 32, in Dr. No; in fact, he had fewer wrinkles and lines in his face than Connery did.

Frank2 says on 3/Apr/06
Jack was closer to 6'1" and was about an inch shorter than Sean Connery in Dr. No.

By the way, Chris Walken is well-over 6'. I'd say at least 6'1". At least that's how tall he looked when I saw him. He was a good two inches taller than me. And he's a very skinny 6'1". I doubt he weighs more than 160 lbs. soaking wet.

bob says on 24/Mar/06
Jack is probably 6'1" in shoes.

DB says on 8/Dec/05
He was in reality 5'9". I read that in a biography.

Mr. Klaus says on 23/Sep/05
In Dr. No he looks 2 inches shorter than Sean Connery

I also found this,
An FBI file regarding a stalker lists his height as 6' 0", 2 inches shorter than his official biography.

Claude says on 7/Jun/05
In a 1970 episode of Hawaii 5-0, he looks shorter than guest star Christopher Walken who is six feet tall.
