He looked 6"3.5 (1.92 m) in earlier films such as Sudden Fear. By 1994 he looked maybe slightly below Chevy Chase. Chase might've only ever been 6ft 3in at his tallest. thebad7 says on 31/Mar/11
One of the last true tough guys. He is sorely missed. I liked him best in 1957's THE LONELY MAN. He was a tall, muscular guy--even towards the end of his life. Watched him recently in two films: 1971's CHATO'S LAND, next to Charles Bronson, and 1966's THE PROFESSIONALS. 6'4" sounds right for him--he looks this in comparison to co-stars Robert Ryan and Woody Strode--both of whom were billed at 6'4".
He was in a great Midas commercial with Lee Van Cleef back in the late 1970s and he looked to have about 1" on 6'2" Van Cleef.

According to this site , Palance and Charlton Heston were supposed to be the same height at prime , but in the movie "Arrowhead" Jack is obviously at least an inch taller . The man always claimed he was 6'4 and I believe that's correct . Heston on the other hand I've always been skeptical he was a full 6'3 , maybe 6'2.5 was closer . Now watch this video from 1.35.00 to 1.36.08 .

Palance clearly looks taller . Also from 0.40.35 on he has the edge on Heston even wearing normal shoes when Chuck is wearing boots . What do you think , Rob ? 5\\\\\\\'7.37 says on 7/Jan/11
6'4 seems right, he was massive even when old. PatB says on 28/Dec/10
Shane demonstrates one of the big disadvantages of being tall. Palance was a foot taller than Ladd. In a basketball game there would have been no contest. In a boxing match also. But in a gun battle, Palance was just a bigger target. Shane shot him right between the eyes, while Palance's bullet went harmlessly over little Alan's head. |
