I was at a concert in 1983 where they walked by us in the audience and I'm 5'8"...they both wore heels so 5'5" and 5'7 or 8" sounds right..

Marie is very short as is Donny. She is only around 5ft 3 and Donny is short too at around 5ft 8

She's 5'5", I know because I've stood next to her many times, and I am 5'1". Now there is a saying that we all lose a couple of inches when we grow older, I don't know.

In four inch heels?

I saw Marie in Vegas, and I would go with 5-4.

If you think she's tiny, you should have seen Natalie Wood!

Another shrimp is Debbie Reynolds. Although today she's sort of blimped out. But she's another extremely short celeb. I doubt she's over 5'.

Gloria Swanson was tiny. I used to see here at a local health food store sitting at the restaurant counter. I even spoke with her a few times. She was extremely nice, a real sweatheart. And her skin was remarkable for a woman her age. At the time she had to be way up there. She was no more than 5' tall.

Mae West was under 5'. So was Carmen Miranda.

Actually Rob,
I think what Frank2 said makes sense. I saw the 5'7 comment on Donny Osmond's page, and I clicked on the posted link and watched the video clip of he and Marie interviewing Gabrielle Reece. Marie was at least 3 inches shorter than Donny in the clip, and she was wearing heels. Even if Donny was wearing lifts, Marie still shouldn't have been that much shorter than he.

After those pics ...time for another Osmond downgrade. No?

[Editor Rob: a double osmond downgrade...

I just went through most of the pics on the web for these 2 osmonds and yes, I will chip away a bit more...

Donnie could be one of the few honest lift wearers...he can look taller than his claim]

She said on 'Access Hollywood' that she was 5'5, but maybe 5'4 is closer to the truth.

Frank2 says on 20/Jun/06
Well, she was sure short when I saw her. And very small-boned. Like a bird.

Frank2. says on 19/Jun/06
No way. I've seen her and she's tiny. Best guess is around 5'2".

[Editor Rob: actually, there was a comment just recently on donnie's page where he said '5ft 7'. But yes, this is a bit too high, although 5ft 2? I'm not sure that short]
