Was James Arness's father tall? thebad7 says on 31/May/11
Peter Graves co-starred alongside Lee Van Cleef in a sadly obscure 1956 Roger Corman sci-fi pic titled IT CONQUERED THE WORLD. Van Cleef, who was a strong 6'2", has several scenes in which he appears standing face-to-face with Graves--both men are wearing standard dress shoes. Graves is just a hair (hair = 1" or less) taller than Van Cleef. 6'3" is correct for Graves at peak.

I would think he was at least 6'3". In 1975 I saw him at LAX. I was curious as to just how tall he was. I am a little over 6" 2 1/2. I walked past him and had my sister watch. She said he was clearly taller than I was! Shadow2 says on 2/Jan/11
Peter was always 6'3" in his movies, and on TV's original "Mission Impossible", where Peter Lupus was the only cast member (just marginally) taller than him. By the time of his early 60's, on the revived TV's "Mission Impossible", he was down to 6'2" alongside guest actors such as 6'3" John Calvin. Shaun says on 29/Dec/10
Well he certainly has the genes to be a legitimate 6'5" but he clearly didn't look it, he might have scraped it in cowboy boots.. Maybe 192cm peak but all I know is that he looked minimum 6'3" compared to Leslie Nielsen in 1980, I doubt he'd have lost much height by then, maybe a cm. Shaun says on 25/Dec/10
I noticed he had 2-3 inches on Leslie Nielsen in Airplane! He had to have been 6'3" peak. Rob you do realise he died. "Nowadays still looks" needs updating. He died back in March.
[Editor Rob: I've seen Graves a few years ago, I just hadn't looked at this page for a good while...I do have another claim to add aswell, he was quoted once saying 6ft 5 as his height...] |
