Well he was obviously taller than Cary Grant in North by North West and Grant was just under 6' 2" so 6' 3" seems reasonable patrick says on 18/Apr/07
Oh!!! It's to be not uderstand anything at all for in "hollywood homicide", a terrible movie, he was H.Ford alike or so and that one is now no more than 6'tops! it is really to loose one's mind !

a friend of mine who is a hair over 6 ft told me landau towered over him at ralphs last week so he must be near 6'3 when standing tall or close glenn says on 17/Mar/07
yeah,bad week of bull.forgive my ignorance,but you been to nyc before? summer is brutal there? its no fun here either. misha says on 16/Mar/07
I will, my friend, just hang on a bit, I'm already dreading summer, perhaps when it's "Autmn in New York", a great song from your parents' generation. I find New York is at its most beautiful then. By the way, you've had to put up with some outrageous posts this week - these bums are polluting the site with their wild rubbish and need a brisk swim across the East River in January with fifty pounds of concrete strapped to their feet (so they can experience the exhilaration of wearing huge lifts). I hear Vinny the Barracuda Alarcanzo is a
great swimming coach. Just a thought... glenn says on 15/Mar/07
let me know. Misha says on 14/Mar/07
Glenn - Things are improving after a profound slump - a measure of my getting back to where things were would be my saying I was flying out to NYC and could I stop by the store - and that day will come, believe me. All the best. glenn says on 12/Mar/07
oh,sorry for the misunderstanding,but i never met him.i meant in the movie.ive been good and you? misha says on 11/Mar/07
Glenn says on 15/Jan/07 Yes,he was slouching and clearly 6-1,6-2 if he strectched out. Glenn, it's Misha, how have you been? Love to see that photo
of you with Landau as he's one of my all-time favorites - where is it? misha says on 24/Feb/07
Anthony, I don't think Landau was ever 6'3", even he himself says confirmed that he wasn't. However, a present-day fan site has him even now at 75 listed as 6'3", but I think Frank 2 is right: 6'1" seems just right for Landau. By the way, why doesn't Frank 2 post anymore? Did something happen to him? He has
an incredible background in terms of what this site seeks, and his myriad accounts of many past legends are fascinating. misha says on 24/Feb/07
Observe Landau interacting with Karl Malden in the beginning of "Nevada Smith" (1966) when they kill Steve McQueens parents in a scene that is brutal even by today's standards. You'll note these body components I've been mentioning: Landau's long arms and rangy torso, big hands with long fingers, clearly show him as taller than the six-even Karl Malden. A great western, densly packed with many outstanding actors of that period. The critics passed on this one and I've never understood why - it's so extremely well-done. Anthony says on 7/Feb/07
Landau is a lot shorter than I imagined. I thought he was at least 6'3. Glenn says on 15/Jan/07
Yes,he was slouching and clearly 6-1,6-2 if he strectched out. Mario says on 14/Jan/07
But G-MANN isn't Landau constantly slouching in Ed wood? G-MANN says on 13/Jan/07
In Ed Wood he doesn't look that much taller than 5'10" Johnny Depp. He's often listed as being 6'3", he was a tall man in his prime, but maybe not that tall. And he's hardly in his prime now. bob says on 24/Mar/06
Frank, I have a question for you, how can you say landau 6'1" and also say he is one inch taller than 6'1" cary grant? doesnt that make him at least 6'2"? Yes, I know he is taller than grant in north by northwest, but I must say again that Landau slouches but is actually 6'3" in standard shoes. I didnt say 6'3" barefoot. 6'3" in shoes.
Ive met and seen him many times and he is at least 6'2" when he stands straight.
Oh about Mason, Landau is minumum 2 inches taller than him but looks to be more like 3 inches taller than him, again it depends on his posture. He's very tricky at hiding it. Frank2 says on 6/Mar/06
Bob, you are wrong! Landau was never six-three! Landau's press agent lists him as six-one. Laundau was once on Merv Griffin's old TV talk show and mentioned it. He was an inch taller than Cary Grant in North By Northwest and two inches taller than James Mason who was five-eleven. I knew Mason. My dad and he were good friends. I saw him many times, the last being shortly before he died and he was still close to five-eleven. Glenn says on 5/Mar/06
I always thought he was 6-1. Bob says on 4/Mar/06
frank, you are incorrect. Martin is and has always been 6'3" in his shoes. You are correct about his posture it is terrible. He's a fairly tall guy Frank2 says on 3/Mar/06
Duchovny IS close to six foot one. You got that one right! Frank2 says on 2/Mar/06
Duchovny in person is closer to six one. Frank2 says on 2/Mar/06
Landau was six foot one back when he was younger. Now he's shrunk to about five ten. part of it has to do with his poor posture. Another actor who had terrible posture was Glenn Ford. When he stood up staright he was nearly six feet tall. But most of the time he slumped making him appear shorter. The most amazing thing was that I ran into him at a Beverly Hills book store sometime in the very early 1990's right before he had a debilitating stroke and he was still five eleven. In that store at the same time was Tony Cutis who was wearing these silly-looking pointy-toed high heels sort of like what men wore back during the French Revolution. Tony is barely 5'9" but with those heels he was nearly six feet! Mario says on 23/Jan/06
He wasn't much shorter than Carrey in The Majestic.
That pic with Duchovny is strange, maybe Duchovny is standing on something! jaccann says on 23/Jan/06
Martin Landau I saw today at the Vancouver Airport. What struck me the most about him is his walk...which looks odd and you notice it instantly. And that he is 75 and still smoking. I walked right passed him twice and up close and he hunches his back and splays his feet left and right and is impossible to tell his height. |
