I watched a rerun episode today Aug 20, 2011 of "murder she wrote" and angela lansbury towered over guest Rod Taylor throughout the episode! She is only 5'8" so. . .how tall is Rod Taylor? Maybe 5'7" at most!!!

5' 9" at the Ray Courts Show in North Hollywood 10 years ago. jake says on 3/Aug/11
It seems the general consensus is that he is more 5ft9 range. Frank2 insisted that he was 5' 9" when he met him. Could 176-77 cm be closer Rob

Rod was 5'10" in standard shoes, about 5'9.5" barefoot. In 1963's "A Gathering of Eagles", he is swamped by much taller actors. They included 6'5" Rock Hudson, 6'3" Richard Anderson, and Barry Sullivan, Henry Silva and Jim Bannon, all of them 6'2". But Rod was already used to working with much taller colleagues. In his native Australia early in his career, he worked regularly with Australia's then tallest actor "Chips" Rafferty, who was 6'6". Rafferty later worked in Hollywood movies and TV in the 1960's, including "Gunsmoke" where he was one of the few guest actors only marginally shorter than James Arness. |
