I can say he was tall and good-looking and nice and charming like a dozen other made over actors of that time but it won't do. I can only describe it by saying he had something so true so genuine in him and in his demeanor that is so rare, in any time. God bless him, wherever he is.

Was described as "about 6'2"" in the film Roberta, but always looked more like the 6'3.5" listing.

Scott was in several movies with 6'4" Forrest Tucker and 6'4" Jock Mahoney.
In all he was clearly about 2 inches shorter. An interesting thing to notice in Scott's movies is that he changes outfits often. Most westerns have the hero wearing the same clothes the entire film. Scott would change hats and outfits several times in a picture. To me it gave him a touch of class.

John Wayne and Scott were co-stars in the movie Pittsburgh and in most shots they appear to be virtually the same height, though to a discerning eye Wayne seems perhaps a half-inch taller. That would put Scott at 6'3.5". That fits with the observed 2 to 3 inch difference with Cary Grant, who is widely reported to have been 6'1".

I saw a movie with Marvin and Scott and Scott was taller. The movie was called Hangman's Knot. It was good. I like Scott; he did a bunch of great westerns

He was about 4 inches taller than Dana Andrews in a Civil War drama I saw on TCM last summer. Sorry, forgot the title. He was the same height as Lee Marvin in 2 movies together. 6'2" or 2.5" sounds right.

Saw an old Western called "Dodge" (not sure about the exact title). Scott played Wyatt Earp & there are two scenes with Lon Chaney Jr., nose to nose. I saw Mr. Chaney when he was fairly old and he was 6'2" then. He and Scott were the same height in that movie. Maybe they were BOTH 6'3" THEN? Or maybe Scott was really 6'2 or 2.5"?

Back then it left little doubt in the minds of their peers. Scott married one of the wealthiest heiresses in America when he latched onto Marion duPont Somerville in 1936. So did Cary when later in 1945 he wed Barbara Hutton. After that they refered to Hutton and Grant as "Cash and Cary." But shortly after Scott was married he'd still reportedly head for the beach home he shared with Cary for a little R & R. Both marriages didn't last that long, about three years each. Scott remarried as did Cary. In fact Cary was married five seperate times. Scott just twice. Rumor has it that when both men were in their early eighties they would meet at the Beverly Hills Hotel's famed Polo Lounge where the maitre d' reportedly saw the two men holding hands while seated next to each other in a darkend booth. But whatever they did in private they were true stars, not the untalented juveniles that populate the screen these days. Also for what's it's worth, both men fathered children. Cary had a daughter by actress Dyan Cannon and Scott had two children from his second wife, actress Patricia Stillman who he remained married to until his death in 1987 at the grand old age of 89. Grant died a year earlier at age 82.

That picture of Cary and Scott still leaves doubts in people's mind? Hahahaha.

Scott was tall, at least 6`2. He was in a movie with Wayne and they both looked the same. However, there was this picture of Scott and Wayne with Marlene Dietrich and Wayne looks clearly taller.
In my favourite wife he doen´s look much taller than Cary Grant. Fran2 pictures aren`t truly reliable but maybe he knows if there was an old technique to make them look similar in height.
Scott and Grant lived together for a while and there were a lot of rumours about it. Scott married in 1939 and his marriage lasted until his death. We will never know if they were "brokeback mountainers", but is that important anyway?
Scott was an underrated actor

Is there anyone you suspect hiding in the mountains past or present? I dont want us to get sued, but you do know the rumors of hollywoods #1 and the dance fever guy?

larry says on 20/Mar/06
Scott was described as 6'2-3" in a couple of his movies. He looked a bit shorter than Joel Macrea (sp?) in RIDE THE HIGH COUNTRY. I would take 2-3" to be 2.5". :-)

Saw a 1978 Dallas Times article that described him as a "Rangy 6ft 2 185 pounder"
