Rob this woman is simply not 5'10". I've just been searching through Getty and there is not a single picture I can see where she could be verified at this height. Next to 6ft golfer Jesper Parnevik is pretty damning. We know the reliability of sportsman's heights. Also next to her 6ft husband, director Lasse Hallström. This picture is ridiculous: Click Here Anon's comment below is right on the money. It is a myth. I think the myth started over this picture. As for Rufus's comment, well, she simply must have been in heels or lifts when you saw them together, in order to emphasise the power in her role in Alias.

She's much taller than Jennifer Garner. She has to be at least 5'11".

See her standing next to Juliette Binoche in "The Unbearable Lightness of Being." Juliette is 5'6" and Lena is not more than a couple of inches taller, which would make her 5'8" at the age of 33. This whole 5'10"/5'11" thing is just a myth.
