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.
[Editor Rob: maybe nearer 5ft 9 is a better guess.]
