On the judy garland show, obvs haha, she is singing a song with jane powell, the jitterbug i think haha, and they stand dead straight back to back in the song, and they are dead on the same height (same shoes on). Jane Powell was 5 and a half foot. But I think judy garland shrunk a lot in her life. xox

They said in her biography on the Biography Channel that she was 4'11"

I know for a fact that Judy was 4 ft 11 because my grandmother used to sing with her and my gramma was 5ft 0in. Gramma said that Judy was a little shorter than her which makes Judy 4ft 11in!

She probably was 4'11 or 5'. She wore size 5 shoes. That size is about right for that height. 4'9 seems to short. That's one inch under a technical dwarf.

my cinema textbook lists her at 4'9'' and 180 lbs. at the age of 28--

5' in '62. I don't remember meeting her, but I did. My parents said she drank like a fish and really couldn't shut up. "She was like a typewriter that kept going by itself".

Liza (5'4) mentioned once in an interview for a Judy documentary during the 80's that her mother "was a little thing, I mean when you see her, she was tiny!"

I suppose she had to be pretty small to give Liza that impression, considering she isnt overly tall herself. So probably 4'11.5 to a solid 5' max would be reasonable.

[Editor Rob: I changed my mind on her after watching some older movies...]

most websites have her down as 4"11 1/2, and she looked pretty small in the wizard of oz (compared to the average size characters!) and she was wearing high shoes most the way through so 4"11 1/2 is believable
