Gleason was a good 6 foot. I'd agree with that

There was more than half an inch between Gleason and Paul Newman in The Hustler.

Gleason on this site. My father drank straight Gordon's gin with the great one at Toot's. The picture says 5' 10". Shiela MacRae is really nice.

Gleason is tricky. Being Heavier has a way of making one look shorter. Jackie claimed to be 6 feet but he looked shorter. I would say he was 5-10 as an older man, and 5-11 maybe 5-11.5 in Dumont years.

I caddied for Gleason one time .. he was about 5'10. Funnier in person than on tv.. although a different kind of joke..:)

I remember as a boy watching footage of Gleason golfing with 5'10" Richard Nixon and Gleason looked a lot taller.

I recently watched "The Toy" in which a 63 year-old Gleason was the same height in shoes as Richard Pryor was in socks and a spidey uniform. I think by that age Gleason was under 5'9"

Now This one I wondered about--from watching 'Honeymooners' or 'Smokey and the Bandit', it's really hard to tell. I figured about 5-11 max.
