I am finished growing and about 4'10. When on holiday, I saw Mary-Kate and she was my height, if not a half an inch shorter (she and I were in flats). I can tell you that it's time for a downgrade. I doubt she would say anything less than 5'0 on Oprah because then she would be teased by the media. I know many short people under 5' including myself, that in heels can appear an almost avg height sometimes. Thats why people tend to think MK &A are 5'2 or 5'3. Because they're in heels all the time.
Vampiric says on 6/May/08
Hmm. 5 feet, huh? I gotta say, I thought she was about 5'2, 5'3 even.
Mary says on 1/May/08
I think that MK is probably 5.0 or 5.1. I think that she is beautiful the way she is. Too many people make comments about being short. I know because I am around 5.1 or 5.2. Many people think that my younger sister, who is taller than me, is older than me. I am 2 years older than her. I am 16 and she is 14. I have learned to not get upset when people stay things about my height.

being a twin hardly has anything to do with your final height. Nor does being born pre-maturely. Of course it CAN have an effect, but you can't just say someone is small as an adult because they are twins or were born pre-maturely. It doesn't work like that.

Your possible height is determined by genetics, and your actual height is determined by things like nutrition and growth hormones. Yes, your time in the womb is important for further development, but is doesn't in any way mean you're going to end up smaller than any of your (other) siblings if you get a bit less nutrition in the womb.
naina says on 21/Apr/08
well im 4'10" and of course buying stuff my size can be harrowing.... i seriously dnt think there's anything wrong with being petite ...
p.s-@observer... yeah im a preemie too but my mum had a healthy appetite....
miaow says on 17/Mar/08
As u see in this pick, Kelly is taller than Mary Kate and she's 5'2. So, M. K. probably is 5'0 or 4'11. But it's so doesn't matter, cause she's gorgous. Click Here
observer says on 19/Feb/08
That preemie comment makes sense. The Olsen twins had to share nutrition meant for one baby. In many cases, only one twin survives, because one twin dominates in the womb.

I met a guy who didn't have fingernails. He said it had something to do with him being a twin. He said his twin died. I'm not sure which one of those two was the dominant one.

Lisa Marie Presley is 5'2" Lisa Marie's mother is 5'4" and her father was about 6 feet tall. I read that Lisa Marie's mother didn't gain very much weight when pregnant because she wanted to look as thin as possible for Elvis while she was pregnant. A mother not eating enough for a single fetus is like twin fetuses sharing food meant for one fetus.
Aubrey says on 5/Feb/08
My twin and I are short too (5'01), I think most twin girls are short due to being so preemie. As for MK she looks short--4'10-5'01 prob. All depends on the shoes she wears. Gaurrav, generally a guy has a 'type', they like tall or petite. At 5'11, either would work for you.
6´4guy says on 29/Jan/08
gaurrav ,are u asking me?
Gaurrav says on 28/Jan/08
My hieght is 5'11 inches, at what height should i marry a girl...
EJ says on 26/Jan/08
The New York Post gave her height and weight in today's paper:
"...we find it odd that the chiefs at the NYPD appear to be terrified of 4-foot 11-inch, 90-pound Mary Kate Olsen."
6´4guy says on 19/Jan/08
ash, you´re a bit wrong, it has been proved that men prefer women of height below the regional average. And these women get more dates and marry and have kids earlier (where that´s seen as a positive thing)and taller wmn must conform to short guys, many times shorter than they, cause taller guys dont like em. google it and youll see. the opposite is for men, according to a scientific study for every inch there is an advantage of 5% over the other men to get the girl. im 6´4 and girls love me. i now live in mexico where the average height for men is 5´5 and for women is 5´0 ,(even in whiter parts the women are like 5´2 or 5´3), and when i was a young teen many older girls would ask me dance with em, just cause of my height¡¡¡:).now i sometimes use some around 7inches leather boots, and get to just under 6´7 and some girls are intimidated by me and other love it¡.my dad is 5´10 qand my mom is 5´7 and i stopped growing at 16(for those height calculations obssesed guys aroudn here)
now i´m dating a 4´11 girl, and have dated many 5,1,5´0 girls and also 5´9 and 5´10, and easily stay with the more femenine , well shaped body of the petite ones.:)
Bianca says on 12/Jan/08
She's 5'2'', its a fact cause I looked it up and shes my role model.
Henry Weverka says on 5/Dec/07
I saw Mary Kate walking from a distance and she looked taller than the parking meter but not by much. If I had to guess I would probably go with 4'11''. She's really not even that tall!!!!
5\'7at14kris says on 17/Nov/07
alexandra 5'6 isnt that tall its kind of average actually. at least at my high school i dont really tower over any girls there. anyway i think that this twin is 5'1.
jjjjj says on 16/Nov/07
im 5'1" and people usually think im around 5'3"-5'6" and guys like my height it wont look ridiculous if i went for a guy whose 5'8" or 6' id still be shorter than them =]
alexandra says on 16/Nov/07
i'm 14 years old and 5 foot 6 inches. i hate being tall. i'm taller than my mom and my two OLDER sisters. it's really awkward. i hope to stop growing soon.
observer says on 11/Oct/07
I once saw pictures in People magazine of Mary Kate and Ashley wearing floor length formal gowns which seemed unusually long. It looked as if the parts of their dresses from the waist down were way too long compared to the upper parts of their dresses. I think that both of the Olsen twins stood on boxes... then a dress designer measured the distance from their waists to the bottom of the boxes, to measure the length of material needed for the dresses. After the pictures were taken with the twins standing on boxes, the dresses could have been shortened to floor length.
iiLiikeBeiingTall :D says on 3/Oct/07
I heard that Jason Earles(he plays Jackson in Hannah Montana) is 30 years old and because of his height he plays someone half his age and he seems ok about that as he is such a good actor. So people that think that being short is not exactly "good" then I hope that I have proved you wrong. As for the tall people like myself(I am 5'6..I know you're thinking not very tall but to my friends, I am!)being tall is great because people look up to you and they will have a different message when they see you! [[sorry about the whole essay thing]] =]
FiveOne says on 2/Oct/07
Yeah, it doesn't matter how tall you are. I like being short. As you can see, I'm 5'1". When people meet me, they think I'm 15 or 16 and I'm really 21!
kate says on 19/Sep/07
hi iam 13 and 5ft 6 eap! iam scared i dont wanna be tall but i look about 16 tho!!! iam worried will i stay this hight????
Ash says on 25/Aug/07
I am 14 and 5' 1" also, Its true, beauty is all about confidence. I know some drop dead gorgeous boys who only like there girls small and tiny because they look young, and I know some darling boys who love tall stronger leggy girls. It all about opinion, because there is someone out there for everyone. :) You are beautiful just the way you are.
Nina says on 9/Aug/07
I'm 4'11 and it's such a relief knowing that even stars aren't that tall either, but are still beautiful like eva longoria, tila tequila, lil' kim, mary kate, nicole richie, hilary duff, etc..anyone is beautiful as long as they're confident and it doesn't matter what height they are..like they say good things comes in small packages =]
meeeee says on 16/Jul/07
yeah i totally agree with Amy. I'm 14 and 5ft 1in. It really doesnt bother me! i will probs grow to around 5'5 though, my mum's height -she didnt stop growing until she was 17! But in the mean time i'm enjoying being the little cute one of my friends. Occasionally they can patronize me and pat me on the head and stuff but i dont let that bother me -its their problem not mine! i think all heights a beautiful. Tall people look graceful and statuesque and short people look cute.
stef says on 14/Jul/07
boo im 4'10!! and you know lil kim is short and shakira too. they say here she is 5'1 but she is shorter I saw her and we were looking eye to eye
boo says on 21/Jun/07
Oh YAY, I was beginning to give up searching for celebrities shorter than 5'. I'm 4'9 and I've always wanted to know if there is ANYONE in Hollywood who isn't 5'7.
Brynn says on 19/Jun/07
I have never met MK however compared to her costars who are 5-1 or 5-2 there is no way she is are 5-0. MK is definatly in the four feet range somewhere. I think its time for a downgrade. I believe theres enough information.
Adrianna says on 8/Jun/07
anonymous, I never said that them being tiny wasn't beautiful. However, this is a celebrity height site. People want to know their height. Noone was putting them down.
anonymous says on 6/Jun/07
Amy, I love your attitude :). You are probably the only healthy one on this site!
Adrianna says on 1/Jun/07
I live in Santa Monica CA and have met many stars. I have run into MK more than Ash and no way is she is 5'00. That should probably be updated. I would say she is 4'9 or 4'10, she is a tiny girl. I am 5'1 and she is approx 4 inches shorter.
Amy says on 30/May/07
I'm a teeny 5'1". I love being this small and so does my 6'2" boyfriend. Some people think I'm around 5'4" and others have thought I was 4'11" so it just depends on a person's perception of you. I once met a girl who I could have sworn was shorter than me, and it turned out she was 5'2'. I think it's pretty unfair when other people go on and on about how small someone is although I figure it mustn't be a bad thing because they probably wouldn't say it to your face if it was (ever hear someone go on and on about how fat someone is to their face?) Tiny people - you're gorgeous just like Kylie Minogue, Rachel Bilson and Eva Longoria and don't you ever let anyone tell you otherwise!

People are beautiful at any shape, size or height as long as they are healthy and happy in themselves. Stop putting people down, and you might actually find you love yourself a little more.

if she underwent a new non invasive surgical technique to grow, then why didn't you opgrade her? how tall is she now..?
Jon Doe says on 6/May/07
On MTV Video Music Awards 2003 they made David Spade look tall, they only came up to his ears.
Ellie says on 29/Apr/07
also, and this is just a theory, but maybe since mk had an eating disorder and wasn't getting proper nutrients, she didn't grow to her maximum height.
Krystal says on 28/Apr/07
They're fraternal twins, not identical. So their heights are different.
twins says on 15/Apr/07
why did one grow taller than the other ?
X says on 4/Apr/07
No, they aren't "mean". They just aren't the usual publicity hound type of celebs many are used to encountering.
FiveOne says on 19/Dec/06
Hey Glenn, is it true that they are both mean? I've read in magazines that they are both anti-social and usually in a bad mood!
Emma says on 15/Dec/06
Hahaha ohhhhh okay. I thought she had height increse surgery or something. Lol. Yeah, that would clear it up. Thankyou.
Jason says on 15/Dec/06
LMAO!!!

Emma,
The 'Stallonoscopy' is a joke on Sylvester Stallone, as he seemed to 'grow' after becoming famous.
Emma says on 14/Dec/06
Is this Stallonoscopy thing a joke? And how much did it make her grow? So shouldn't she be upgraded?
Ellie says on 5/Dec/06
I am a model and travel to LA often and have ran into both twins a few times. I have to say, There is no way is Marykate 5. Tallest 4'10 shortest 4'09. Every wonder why all of the sudden hey wernt from flip flop freaks to platform divas? They would tell every one that they are 5'1 or 5'2. People who saw them knew instatly then that they were not as they said. I even overheard them saying it in a conversation with someone a little taller then them. The fact is, in platforms shoes they are 5'1 or 5'2 in flip flops she is 4'9 or 4'10. I have seen her recently too. I can not phathom how short she would have been before a Stallonoscopy?
Anonymous says on 20/Nov/06
wow, in recent pictures, it really looks like Mar-Kate is taller than Ashley. Could she have grown?

[Padraig: She underwent a new non invasive surgical technique to grow - A Stallonoscopy.]
Stewart says on 16/Nov/06
Lovely B - please, when did you last measure them?
Glenn says on 13/Nov/06
Hard to say.I see them every week.both very mean.5ft tops.could be a hair smaller.
Lovely B says on 12/Nov/06
How can anyone believe they are really 5'2 and 5'3 or even 5'0 and 5'1????????? They are VERY SHORT girls. 5'2 and 5'3 first of all aren't even really short, just a little bit below average. Hasn't anyone noticed that they don't only just appear like petite women with their costars but rather like little children. If they were really only 5'2 and 5'3, they wouldn't constantly get referred to as pint-sized. You don't hear Salma Hayek or Jessica Simpson get referred to as little all the time and they only appear minimally shorter than their average height costars. MK and Ash always come across as little girls playing dress-up in adult clothes. Also if Mk was really 5 ft, then her new bf would have to be about 6'4 but he isn't, he is only 6. I'm in the 5 ft- 5'2 range (With all the lies of other people of their own heights and inconstistent measures of my height, I don't know) but I am honestly not all that short. Below average sure but no one comments on my height and I look minimally shorter than the average people I know. The same is not true for the Olsen's though, they are noticeably little and judging by what all the other short people have said, who are taller than they are, I give them 4'10 and 4'11 MAX. MK may even be 4'9.
MK and Ashley Fan says on 12/Nov/06
In their website they now are selling mobile backgrounds and you can clearly see if you maximize it that they put Mary-Kate as 5"0 because they have one that looks like a driving liscense.

Anonymous says on 7/Nov/06
look, they are definitely 5'0! and ash might be just a tiny bit taller, heres proof, Click Here
X says on 5/Oct/06
That Oprah show was filmed before they were 18 and is why their father had to be there. MK had agreed to something like being 5, 5 ft. 1 or so just prior to Oprah having Ashley that because she is about one inch taller, she is 5 ft. 2.

Ashley usually tries to play up the shortness while MK usually likes to add height. MK is just a bit over 5 ft. 0 and Ashley is a bit over 5 ft. 1.

Esp. in the DisneyWorld pics with John Stamos, they don't appear to be shorter than that, judging by the shoes they are wearing and the people with them in the photos.
Jillian says on 26/Sep/06
They both look pretty short, But it's reported everywhere that marykate is 5'2 and ashley is 5'3 It looks about right if you look at a picture of them in solid 3 inch heels. It makes marykate 5'5 and ashley 5'6 It looks right on the money if you ask me, I saw 5'2 & 5'3

[Editor Rob: it doesn't matter if 99% of the sites report it as 5ft 2 or 3.

What matters is that they themselves - *as reported here* - have said they are barely 5ft 1 and not even 5ft 2]
TNTinCA says on 25/Sep/06
Just because they are twins does not mean they have to be the same height. Judging by their physiques, it appears they are anorexic. So if malnutrition is taken into account due to bad eating habits to stay thin, its very possible one is shorter than the other.
Emma W says on 24/Sep/06
I hate how everywhere it says the twins are the SAME HEIGHT! MK is definitely like 2 inches shorter. About 5ft id say. But she's so skinny so that may make her look even smaller
Alex says on 14/Aug/06
I remember for a while one was listed at 5'2 and the other 5'3. Mary Kate is def not over 5'0. The guy does look over 6'0 though for sure. 6'2-6'3 though so that would put mary Kate at 5'0 and no more. Ashley would be 5'1 then.
Wicked Kid says on 10/Aug/06
Whoaaaaa. Have you seen that guy and Mary-Kate?!! She looks 4'10"!!!
Anonymous says on 22/Jul/06
I remember reading in magazine about those two.They wrote that the guy was 6'3 and mary kate 5'0.
Lexi says on 23/Jun/06
Okay so I will tell you from seeing MK in real life (plus by cuz and my aunt have also seen BOTH). Well my cuz and my aunt met MK & ASH when they were filming ny min b/c they were in NYC vacationing. At that time my cousin was 5' even and she was wearing flats, mk and ash were wearing heels and ash was a little taller than her (b/c mk and ash were wearing heels) and she said mk was slightly shorter. Now from being an Olsen fan for so many years I didnt beleive that MK & ASH were that short. UNTIL I went in to Starbucks last summer in the hollywood hills and saw her in person! I was so excited Well at first this big guy took her into the back of the place because she was overwhenmed by people. But, when I left the store I went theough that ally in the back of the store (because I was going to meet my friend shopping) I saw her inches from me! We even said hello. But anywayz getting to my point I am 5'01 and I was wearing flats and MK was wearing flats. I just want to say I dont even this she is 5' She was like prob up to my nose which is the same as my 11 year old sister is now and shes 4'9. My height est for mk is 4'9- 4'11. You can deny it but I saw her up close. Just wanted to share :)
Bella says on 22/Jun/06
Theres a pick of MK and Ashley next to Salma Hayek who says shes 5'2" and these Olsen twins were at least 2-3 inches shorter than Salma. They do not look like they are over 5 ft. They all had heels on.
ice says on 2/Jun/06
If that guy is 6 feet flat, then she's much shorter than 5'0. More like 4'9 LOL
faiza says on 31/May/06
just to make her look even shorter in public...she goes out with a 30 year old who's 6'! he dwarfs her!!!

Anonymous says on 15/Apr/06
you mean 4'11"?
ds says on 14/Apr/06
I was on a modeling site and the people were talking about whether it's better to be short or tall. And they listed a list of short girls that had MK at 5'2" and 2 girls claimed to have met them and both said they were really short. Like 5'11".
Lucy says on 12/Feb/06
I saw mary-kate last year and i'm 5'7 and I Towered over her!
Anonymous says on 21/Jan/06
I saw her last year in NYC at a coffee shop. Im 5'1 and 1/2 and when i stood near her we were the exact same height.If it matters,we were both wearing flat shoes(she was wearing converse and i was wearing ballet flats) so for the record,she's 5'1" and a 1/2
CelebHeights Editor says on 21/Oct/05
Ok, I just watched the actual clip (as opposed to just audio), so one last time here is what they said:
And if you want to view the short clip click here

Oprah: "Cause you guys are what, five, you're 5' 1, five..."

Ashley: "Five......Five, Five One"

[it seems because oprah said 'you guys', Ashley appears to be stating both of their heights, hence the 5 and '5ft 1']

Oprah: "5'1, ok. So that means if you're 5' 1 [pointing to MK], then you're [pointing to ashley] 5' 2."

Ashley (shaking her head): "Yeah, except for that I'm not 5' 2."
Mary Kate: "No, yeah...And I don't even think I'm 5' 1, so"
from someone who knows says on 4/Oct/05
Everything I've seen on Amy Davidson, even directly out of her mouth, states that she is 5 ft. even. She is the red haired actress on "8 Simple Rules" and was their best girl friend on their "So Little Time" show.

They were 15ish during that show and Amy was already a grown adult. Anyway, Ashley was already then taller than Amy & MK was about the same height; that was then. They appear to have grown a little in height since that show.

It isn't unusual for a female to grow another .5 or so around 15-16 yet most have the bulk of their height by 17-18. Notice that I never speak in absolutes; I do not use "all" & "never", so I know exceptions do exist.
CelebHeights Editor says on 17/Aug/05
From Gawker.com, "saw mary kate olsen today (11/4) coming out of 27 w 20th - a random office building that apparently houses some masseuse to the stars (as my elevator companion and fellow mk stalker let me know). mk looked ridiculously tiny - i'm 5'3'' and literally TOWERED over her."
