He's lost an inch or so but i think if he stood up-right, he'd be just about 5'9

That's the strangest thing I've ever seen. I thought he was six feet tall, watching him in "Enter the Dragon".

Rob, you're spot on--Saxon always looked a strong 5'10" in his younger days. I watched him a month ago in 1978's FAST COMPANY. Standing side-to-side with Big Bill Smith--himself a strong 6'2"--Saxon looked about 4" shorter. Today, however, he's definitely lost height, and looks like he's about 5'8". Much like Smith, Saxon is a B Movie Legend.

5'8.5 and 5'10 at his prime.

This guy is still 5'8.5 or about the same height as Mamun. You can tell because Mamun is positioned in front of him slightly so he is taller than he looks in the pic.

he droped serious height

Mr. Tempus says on 3/Aug/11
Mamun looks slightly taller than Jhon, so maybe Jhon is 5'7.5

Looks an inch or 2 shorter than Lee Majors, in an episode of The Six Million Dollar Man. Some who know/knew Majors said he was not 6'0, but 5'11. Others who knew/know say he is/was 6'0. My opinion? Saxon was 5'10 and Majors 5'11.5

Shrinkage is usually described by a simple average. You never see a standard deviation reported. There are large differences among people of the same age. I'm 68. My dentist is 69. He tells me he lost two full inches in one year. I used to be 6'4" barefoot when I was in my twenties. In almost a half century I've shrunk exactly 1/4". I've lost so little from no virtue of my own. I'm just lucky. My good college friend who used to be exactly six feet now is 5'11". I can see no pattern but it is clear that people shrink at all sorts of different rates.

A lot of commenters here assume that peak height is a real concept and that they can calculate everyone's height from their age alone.

John Saxon was always rather short. Maybe the studios were just better at conceling that fact when he was younger.

People, cut the guy some slack. Saxon is 75yo in a couple of months; what do you think you are going to look like when you're that age? If you make it? LOL He was in his mid 30's when he was in Enter the Dragon. He looks o.k. to me.

I thought he was like 6 feet? Amazing.
