Most women are done growing at 16. Even with heels on, she was tiny next to her co-stars.
Laura says on 20/Dec/09
She was 16 when she filmed The Wizard of Oz and probably wasn't done growing so 4'11" is probably a realistic number Daynah says on 5/Dec/09
I say she was about 4'11 or 5'0 cuz I heard ppl on TCM channel say that she wasn't pass 5'1 and they say she was a very small tiny person. So I think 4'11 or 5'0 sounds good. She my all time favorite actress. Littlesue says on 19/Oct/09
Judy may have been 4ft 11 but there is no way Liza is that low!! look at the eary footage of her guesting on the Judy Garland show, she has a good 4 inches on her mother easily! Anonymous says on 17/Oct/09
Judy Garland was 4'11'' BUT her shoe size was 6 or 6 1/2. Check out Liza and see she too is 4'11''. Don't know Liza's shoe size. Shelbi says on 9/Oct/09
4'11," or even 5' is a LIE STRAIGHT FROM HELL!! I have used weird, only-I-would-think-to-do-it math to calculate her height. If you look very closely in "Easter Parade," Judy is dancing with Fred in at last one scene while wearing flats. Fred Astaire was 5'8." When she is up close to him, she is just at, or barely under, his nose. My friend is 5'8" and I'm 5'1'5." When I stand right next to her, I am JUST under her nose. If my observations are correct, Judy garland is at the very LEAST 5'1." Anonymous says on 1/Mar/09
Im not sure. She looked 5'something in the W.O.O but that might just be because she had shoes on but i would say around 5' Charles Triplett says on 7/Nov/08
I own several of Garland's movie costumes and TV series gowns plus personal couture from 1941 to 1969. They are super tiny and the one gown from 1964 has a 19 and half inch waist. From all I can tell I feel she was right at 4' 11 1/2 inches tall. chris says on 17/Sep/08
youtube judy garland and barbra streisand. barbra appeared to be 3.5 inches taller than judy. if barbra is 5-4 or 5-5(says on her bio), judy should be 5-1 or 5-2 inches. and i'm sure she was taller when she was young. Russ says on 15/Jul/08
4'11? This would make Gene Kelly about 5'3! Josephine says on 12/Jul/08
I don't think she was quite 5 feet tall. Just look at her tiny arms and legs. Tiny torso too.I bet she stopped growing right after the Wizard of Oz. She was born in 1922, it wasn't uncommon for women her generation to be as short as she was. Anon says on 15/Jun/08
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 Richard says on 17/May/08
They said in her biography on the Biography Channel that she was 4'11" hi says on 1/May/08
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! Observer says on 13/Jan/08
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. volpe says on 21/May/07
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". A. says on 31/May/06
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...] libs says on 11/Nov/05
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 |
