I just got through seeing the 1945 classic "the Spanish Main" on TCM. I was surprised to see how short she looked when compared to Paul Henreid who is listed as 6'3". She has always looked like a solid 5'8" but now I think she might have been slightly below this. Maybe she upped her height to make up for the shorter Hollywood men. Still, she was an amazingly stunning woman.

I have a dvd of "Dance Girl Dance" (1940) with Maureen O'Hara and Lucille Ball. There is a terrific fight scene between the two women in this flick, which was an early feminist classic. Lucille Ball at 5'-7 1/2" - is slightly taller in most of their scenes together. In a couple of scenes where Lucy is wearing 3" heels, and O'Hara is in ballet slippers or bare-foot, the height difference is over 3". I estimated O'Hara to be about 5'-7" max.

Sure-I have Rio Grande, The Quiet Man, etc. w/ her. She's a good sized star, esp for that day and age.
