Whaooo...
I would never have thought she was that tall.
Always looked like a 5'5 girl next door to me .. even her body proportions don't look like those of a 5'7/5'8 girl...

In 'When Harry met Sally' she was definitely less than an inch shorter than Billy Crystal in like every single scene that they were standing next to each other with the same shoe advantage.

She's not 5ft 8in and I have my doubts she's 5ft 7in. For many, many years she was always listed as 5ft 6in. I'll give her 5ft 6.5in. Many of these celebrities would have us believe they are getting taller as they age!

A few more comments - in respect to the comments below about how she can't be 5'7" because she was shorter than X (where X is an actor she starred with), movies are not shot with respect to presenting accurate heights, they're about telling a story. So they'll dig a ditch, wear lifts etc to make it work in terms of the visuals of a scene, and 99% of the time you won't get to hear about it. Meg Ryan is no less than 5'6", would have thought close to 5'7", since she walked past me in close proximity (no more than a few inches) and she was roughly my height (5'10") - however, she does wear *very* high heels.

I watched Meg in 'Amityville 3D', which I found a bit naff in comparison to the original, let alone 'Amityville II - The Possession'. I didn't see it in 3D mind you! I also watched quite an entertaining film called 'In The Cut', which I have next door.
I love Tom Hanks, and if I get the opportunity to see any of the films she made with him over Christmas, then I will jump at the chance.
I did notice that the young Meg, when she made 'Amityville 3D' was certainly tall; I anticipated no more than 5ft4, but she isn't - surprise, surprise! She's far more....
5ft6.75, though, will do for now.

You only have to look at her legs between knee and ankle to see that they are not long enough for her to be 5'8". I think she's 5ft 5.75"(167cm). Also, I've just been looking at photos of her with Dennis Quaid. If she were 5ft 8in, she would look taller next to him.

In when Harry met Sally, she's shorter than Billy Crytal by at least 1 inch when they are both wearing similar heeled shoes.if Crystal is 5 7 (WHICH I DOUBT) then she can be no more than 5feet 6 inches.

She is at least 5"7, stood next to her in Soho a few months ago. Because she is skinny, people tend to think she's shorter.

I was at Disneyland a few years ago and came close to Meg and her son when they were exiting Star Tours. I was about 174cm in my footwear, and she might have had a bit of a heel on her, but she was still about 2cm shorter, so I feel that she's around 169cm. She might have been closer to 170cm a few years ago, but definitely not now. So 169cm will be my current guess.

Yes in an interview with Redbook magazine in 1993, I think. She was on the cover and in the interview inside she did say, "People are always surprised that I'm five foot eight." I admit that I was surprised when I read that quote, as I always imagined her being about 5 foot 6 or so (not that it matters).

OK, I watched Harry Met Sally, and she looked 2cm under Billy Crystal for most of the movie when they wore similar footwear. I think Crystal is 168cm, so I would place Ryah at 166cm. Not only that, but I saw Ryan upclose once, and placed her at 5'5" in my mind, so 166cm seems closer. Definitely not 170cm as currently listed.

I always thought she was 5'5"-5'6". After seeing she claimed 5'8" I'll just assume added 2 inches and believe she's 5'6". It seems everyone that's met her thinks she's in that range as well.

Roughly two inches taller than Billy Crystal with average heels I think. Barefoot might be a similar height, weak 5'7".

She may be somewhat tall, but she often goes to movie premieres, public events and talk shows in 4 or 5 inch heels which make her look like a giant. I always imagined her around my height, which is 5 foot 7. She claims that she's 5 foot 8, so she might be.

She probably is tall. I saw a picture of her posing with Susan Sarandon and Anjelica Huston. It was at a woman in film awards show. Meg and Susan were the same exact height, it was Anjelica Huston who looked huge. She was about 4" taller than Meg and Susan. She looked like a giant amazon next to them.

She may wear smaller heels elsewhere. I've noticed that in every day errand running pics, she wears Doc Marten type of boots with a 1" heel. But at public events & appearances, she wears very high heels. To me she never looked short, but never looked tall either. But I have never met her in person, so I wouldn't know. I'm a 5'7" woman myself.

You're right Jason, she does wear one inch heels in movies (like in When Harry Met Sally) I've always noticed that. Then at movie premieres or public events, she wears heels that are 4 inches high! Even Parkinson (in his awkward interview with her) commented on her "almost too high for walking" shoes. She came out in her usual 4 inch heels.

there is no doubt that she is pretty, and most have been a bit over avarage at her peak. i would say she is between 168-170 cm tall, she is slightly shorter then 169cm billy chrystal in movies, he might wore lifts but she also wears heels sometimes, at peak she might have been 169-170 cm and today 168-169 cm.

On You Tube, check out the "Hanging Up Deleted Scenes" and you'll see she's a little shorter than Diane Keaton in the bathroom scene where they're laughing. She's appears to be about 2 or 3 inches shorter than Lisa Kudrow.

In "Hanging Up" Lisa Kudrow is a good 2 or 3 inches taller than Meg. Also in the deleted scenes (bloopers) there's a shot of Meg & Diane Keaton in the ladie's room. They both mess up and start laughing hysterically, and you can see (before Meg falls towards the floor laughing) that Diane Keaton is slightly taller than Meg. So is the female crew member who walks over to them while they're laughing, and this is after Meg stands back up. It's on You Tube, it's Hanging Up Deleted Scenes. It's pretty funny too, all three keep flubbing their lines.

About three years ago, I stood behind Meg Ryan at an outdoor magazine stand in Brentwood, CA while we were both in line waiting to pay for magazines. I am 5 feet 7 inches and was wearing sneakers. I was surprised when my sister, who was standing waiting for me a little aside of the line, later commented ,"Hey, she's taller than you!" I said something about Meg probably wearing heels and my sister said, "Uh,no. She was wearing sneakers, too."
Just sayin'!

She also tends to wear very high (4") heels to public events such as movie premieres or charity appearances. So that would make her look taller next to people. But if she wore flat shoes (like canvas shoes) then her true height would show, but she doesn't. She likes them heels.

In "Hanging Up" she's the same height as Diane Keaton and shorter than Lisa Kudrow. In a Redbook magazine interview in 1993, she said: "People are always surprised that I'm five foot eight." I think not, maybe 5 foor 6, or 5 foot 7.

I read the book her mother wrote called "The Immune Spirit." In it she (Susan) describes herself at 15 as "tall and long legged." She never says how tall she is. She also describes her youngest daughter Annie as "tall at 13, all arms and legs." She never says anything about Meg's (she calls her Peggy) height. I know I shouldn't have read a tell-all, but I couldn't resist. So anyway, Meg could be 5'8" but maybe not.

I once heard she was 5'10". she looks like it on film. probably because she does indeed have narrow hips and shoulders. She is at least 5'8", though.

She's friends with Laura Dern and I have seen paparazzi pictures of them hanging out together in L.A. Laura is 5'10" and Meg looked about 4 or 5 inches shorter than Laura. I also noticed that Meg tends to wear Doc Marten style boots with heels that are an inch or two high. I'd say she's 5'5" or 5'6" tops.

I saw a picture of her and Dennis Quaid meeting 5'10" Princess Diana. Now the Princess could have had heels on and Meg probably did too. Bug Princess Diana towered over Meg by about 4 or 5 inches. Meg was looking way up at her and smiling at her. I always thought Meg was 5'6" but I have never met her in person.

I was standing next to her in the bathroom at a restaurant in L.A. I am 5'6. and she was clearly 2inches shorter then me making her 5'4" tall. She looked a little on the haggard side as well.

I agree whole heartedly with Frank2!!! We have to remember that everyone looks heavier, and wider on camera! Meg ryan is VERY narrow across the hips and shoulders so she has the appearance of being taller.

In French kiss she wasn´t much shorter than Kevin Kline who is at least 6`1. And I think she was taller tha Diane Keaton. I guess she is around 5`7.

Dennis Quaid's height which has been listed as much as 6'1" is in reality closer to my height. So is Tom Hanks'. Both are a little over 5'11". Dennis' brother Randy is huge - over 6'4".
Carrie Fisher is a shrimp. I doubt she's more than 5'1". So's her mom Debbie Reynolds. Her father is a shrimp too. I doubt that Eddie stands any taller than 5'5". Of course when you're that short the chances of losing a few inches as you become older is much more remote.

Billy Crystal is about 5'5". I know since I stood right next to him and could look down onto the top of his balding head. Figure it out. I'm 5'11". Meg is not 5'8". Why she got pegged with this height is a mystery.

Well I saw a picture of her with her ex Dennis Quaid along with Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson. It was taken at the premiere of "Sleepless in Seattle." Either Meg's slouching in the pic or Rita Wilson is super tall. But in that pic Meg looks very short compared to the others. Plus in her movies she's not taller than her female co-stars, she's around the same height or a little taller (like with Carrie Fisher). Personally I always believed her to be around 5'6" not five foot eight. When I first read that in "Redbook" magazine, I thought "You've got to be kidding me." She said "People are always surprised that I'm five foot eight." It was around the time when "Sleepless in Seattle" was making her very popular. She was on the cover of the magazine.

Here is a test shot of Meg and Billy before actual shooting. They stand on level ground, both wearing normal shoes. Meg has not much heels and so is Billy. They seem to be of the same height. If Billy Crystal is 5'8" then Meg Ryan has the same measurement.

wow, this is truly a high estimate for Meg. I supposed Crowe had massive lifts employed when he all but towered over her in Proof of LIfe

I agree with the 'When Harry Met Sally' analysis. Also, in comparison to 5 footer Carrie Fisher, there's no way Meg Ryan is 5 foot 8, especially since she's wear a smallish heeled boot throughout most of the movie. If she truly was 5'8, she'd be 5'9 in the boots. She would have been mammoth next to Carrie Fisher.

Hello, check out when harry met sally and watch over and over again that she is the same height as billy chrystal. 5'5" - 5'6". This is just rediculous.

I was a bit surprised when I searched the net for her height and found all those 5'8 references, I'd never thought of her as being a tall actress. I did find a reference to her being 5'5 (altho I can't recall where right now), which seems to be spot on, IMO...

I think she's a bit shorter than 5'8". Billy Crystal looks about her height, and Billy is shorter than Robert De Niro, and what's Robert's height 5'8"? I also remember several scenes in Sleepless in Seattle where she's walking alongside 5'7" Rosie O' Donnell and you were able to see the ground and everything and Meg was about an inch shorter than Rosie. I'm not sure if comparing her to 5'8" Mark Ruffalo in the movie In the Cut says much since they probably wanted Mark to appear taller.
