Sarah Michelle Gellar Height
Sarah Michelle Gellar height: 5 ft 2.5 in (159 cm)

US Actress of Buffy and Scooby Doo was very pleased when she was filming the Grudge in Japan. She commented that in filming one scene, "I'm 5 foot 3 inches and I'm the tallest one in an elevator". But back in Teen Celebrity magazine several years ago she also said: "I'm okay with my body. It woulden't be very nice in I had big boobs anyway because I'm 5'2".". Come on Sarah, which are you, 5ft 2 or 3!

rose, the heights in madame tusaudz are fake anyway, BRAD PITT is 5-9, STALLONE is 6-2

its interesting to note that people on this site struggle to estimate the height of inanimate objects which you can get as close as possible to and take as much video and photos with as possible, what does that say about real people whom you cannot get photos or video with :)
brit says on 26/Jul/08
@rose: but brad pitt isn't 5'9'' and if his wax is that height, then it's wrong because he's taller..so i really think that sid is right with her suggestions..as far as i know smg wasn't there to watch her wax-figure or watch how it was made..only those wax figures are accurate which were made while the stars were there to join all the make out..i think smg is 5'2'' period..anything under really is too short..cause she's taller than reese witherspoon by 1 inch..

she is more of 5'2, very tiny and cute.
rose says on 12/Jun/08
i dunno - i think the wax models are extremely accurate - i saw a program of them making kylie manogue's waxwork and they do it 100% to scale...oh and there is no way silvster stalone is 6-2"! I have met him twice and he is smaller then that trust me! my dad is exactly 5ft 11" and sly came up to his eyes - id say the wax wor of him is perfectly accurate - especially his height anyway...
Sid says on 14/May/08
rose, the heights in madame tusaudz are fake anyway, THE ROCK is 6-2, BRAD PITT is 5-9, STALLONE is 6-2, WILL SMITH 6-4 etc.
rose says on 8/May/08
her wax work in madam tussads is absolutely tiny! she was way shoter then me in her heels and im only 5' 4.5"! she probably came up to me eyes whilst wearing (ok, not huge) heels...they were about 2.5" i think....she must be only about 5'1" or something...
heightfan says on 14/Apr/08
I am guessing that SMG has on has higher heels, Trachtenburg in small heels-as not to show up the star, and Green with lifts in his shoes.
runt says on 31/Mar/08
Usually always looks tiny but she looks 5'5" with Michelle Trachtenburg(5'7"?)here

Click Here
At first I thought it must be much taller heels but in the same set of shots she doesn't tower Seth Green (5'4"?) by much

Click Here
But maybe this puts Michelle Trachtenberg into question.
x says on 21/Mar/08
yh i think she's definately 5"3, because when i was 5"1 i was standing next to a wax work, and she was atleast 2 inches taller than me, but now i'm 5"5 and a half lol.
El says on 3/Mar/08
well if her waxwork in madame tussauds London is to scale she is about 5ft2 and a half!
lottie says on 2/Mar/08
She is 5 1!! Mayde 5 2 on a good day. One episode in Buffy she and David Borenaz
( 6 1) are both barefoot and she looks so tiny!! There is 30cm differense atleast!
anonymous says on 2/Jan/08
no way she's 5'3'', other actresses like julianne moore are 5'3'' and look average, she looks a bit short not that much though, 1.57 would be accurate.
Lee says on 3/Dec/07
She's tiny... 5' 1" or 5' 2", in all likelihood. Everyone towered over her in Buffy, even Allyson Hannigan who isn't even tall.

Why do actresses that short even try to make it sound like they're taller? It's not like with guys, where if you're short its a major drawback. Look at Hayden Paniettiere or Kristen Bell, they're both tiny and both doing extremely well in TV land.

Height for women is only an issue if you want to be a runway model. Otherwise, don't worry ladies, you can be 5' 0" and the guys will still adore you if you're cute.
Anonymous says on 8/Nov/07
glenn, what do you think? less than the listed height? i'd give her 5'2 flat
Eliza says on 6/Nov/07
I am constantly getting different heights for Sarah. In Lucky magazine they notes her height as 5'3 and then in another magazine I saw recently it said, "At a petit 5'4, the actress has trouble finding clothes that fit her little frame."
Ashton Ayres says on 28/Oct/07
I'm a huge Buffy fan, so naturally, I listened to the commentary on one of my box seasons, and one of the producers or writers said "Sarah is so tiny, what is she 5'3''?" and the other commentator responded, "no, she's not even 5'2'' Case closed. I'd say 5'1'' plus maybe a half an inch. She's very petite.
George says on 13/Oct/07
No way is she 5'3". I'm 5'10", so I obviously towered over her, but my friend, who's 5'4" was at least 2 inches taller, maybe 3. She's 5'2" tops, maybe 5'1.5". Very friendly though.
any says on 29/Sep/07
well, could be 5'3''. but maybe she's 5'2.5'', who knows. but never she's 5'2'', that's too small for her, i guess...
Anonymous says on 28/Sep/07
she's so tiny and cute! def more of 5'2 i think. met her a few times, once in 99, another time around 02. very petite. pretty. sweet.
emilyjade says on 18/Aug/07
watch the first epsiode of season four of buffy. when she slays the vampire and she's standing on the couch. she's short, around 5'2''. i'm around the same height :)
lizzy says on 26/Jul/07
oh, yes, she is 5'3''. saw her on an event show and in heels she was quite an inch shorter than me..5'8''..so this could be right..
glenn says on 20/Jul/07
i guess i have to agree on blond.this is the only time i ever saw her.she sneaks out of her hotel.
Anonymous says on 19/Jul/07
glenn-have u seen her blonde in person?
Anonymous says on 14/Jul/07
i prefer sarah blonde, though, how bout u, glenn?
glenn says on 13/Jul/07
me too.
Anonymous says on 13/Jul/07
true. both very pretty, lovely ladies. big fan of both.
glenn says on 13/Jul/07
its possible.sarah probably had more superior footwear than shannon.
Anonymous says on 13/Jul/07
she appears more of 5'2-ish, but i guess looks can be deceiving...glenn, i think shannen is smaller than her pal sarah in person, since you're saying sarah is more 5'3, and shannen is listed at 5'2.5, but i think she's a tad under that, what do u think?
Dow Jones says on 12/Jul/07
I think it is important to keep in mind that downgrading and upgrading is a more serious issue with shorter people. 1" is bigger as a percentage of height when dealing with someone near 5' than someone near 6'. As an extreme example, Mini Me is 2'8". A dwarf that is 3'2" is gigantic in comparison because 4" is hugh down there! But the difference between Shaq at 7' and Brad Garett at 6'8" is way less noticeable.
Kathryn says on 12/Jul/07
and was this photo taken on the 2005 CFDA Fashion Awards? cool...=)
glenn says on 9/Jul/07
rob lists what he wants.and he is usually right.usually.im usually right too.dicaprio pulled a fast one on me though.yeah,for my taste,sarah is 5-3.
Kathryn says on 8/Jul/07
so, sarah will be listed at 5'3''?;)..well, 5'3'' is her true height. maybe she´s 5'2.5'' but i think 5'3'' is really accurate. look at her and husband Freddie Prinze jr. who´s 6'1'', i high heels she´s 15 cm smaller than him.
PS: and maybe in that teen magazine she was not even 20 and so she maybe grew one inch.
glenn says on 7/Jul/07
shannen i met many times from 1992 to 1996.never posed with me.actually hung out with her once and she still turned me down.now she is very nice and poses up a storm.when im not around.she gives a smaller appearence to me for some reason than sarah.
Anonymous says on 6/Jul/07
thank you, glenn. and she's supposedly best friends with shannen doherty, who is also listed as 5'2-5'3. did u ever meet shannen? i wonder if she's very small in person as well. she sure looks it!
glenn says on 3/Jul/07
closer to 5-3.she was sweet to me.i heard otherwise too.but thats i think with autograph dealers and papparazi.all i asked for was a photo with her.she likes fans.though i heard conflicting stories with that too.maybe i got lucky cause nobody was around.she doesnt like crowds of people waiting for her.
Anonymous says on 2/Jul/07
glenn, more of 5'2 or 5'3? and, i'm curious to know if she was sweet. i've heard mixed things. big fan, so please, let me know!
runt says on 30/Jun/07
With 5-5.5 Neve Cambpell

dafunman says on 28/Jun/07
she works out at my gym in Westwood a few days a week...5'3
Kathryn says on 19/May/07
well, but i saw her heels and she was slightly smaller than me and i am slightly taller than 5'7''. so she was 5'7'' with high heels and high heels have 5 inch heels. that made her 5'7'' which made her slightly smaller than me and i am slightly taller than 5'7'', got it?=)
Cpt. Crunch says on 17/May/07
When you say someone looks 5 ft 3 because "she just looks that way", i think it matters who is saying it. A person in the 5 ft 1 to 5 ft 5 range could probably judge that better than a 5 ft 7.5 person. I know guys who all have said I look 5-11 but those guys are treetoppers. My friends who are close to me in height have me pegged at 5-9 tops--I'm just skinny.
Kathryn says on 18/Mar/07
I would say 5'3'' (160 cm) because she just looks that way. And I met her at a after-show party last year. I am 5'7.5''(171 cm)and she was in 4-5 heels a bit smaller than me and I wore Sneakers. So...5'3'' is obvious. There´s no making her smaller.
Glitter1 says on 15/Jan/07
DEF A 5'2 GAL. VERY, VERY PETITE, GORGEOUS IN PERSON. I'M 5'6.5, AND W/O HEELS I TOWERED OVER HER IN HER HEELS! VERY SWEET, DOWN TO EARTH. MY BEST FRIEND, WHO'S 5'1.5 ON A GOOD DAY WAS ABOUT THE SAME HEIGHT, MAYBE A SMIDGE SHORTER THAN SARAH.
heightfan says on 16/Nov/06
I was watching I Know What You Did Last Summer and noticed through almost the entire move SMG was weaing heels and JLH was wearing Keds sneakers and there was no difference. There was a scene when SMG was also wearing sneakers and a hat (she just got her hair chopped off) and JLH was a coulple of inches taller.
sunbeame says on 11/Nov/06
Sorry ment to say that when i stood next to her waxwork we were exactly the same height. I had a slight platform in my shoe so maybe she was 1/2 an inch to an inch taller than me. That would bring her to 5 ft 2 absolute maximum.
sunbeame says on 10/Nov/06
Ok i went to Madame Tussauds a few months back, and had my picture taken with her waxwork. I don't know how accurate they're ment to be but i'm only barely 5ft 1!!! Her wax work was super tiny.
Henry says on 18/Oct/06
ok, check this out Click Here
and this, Click Here
I think is obvious.---5'2"---- that´s all.
Gonzalo says on 11/Oct/06
Show some respect, Brad. English is not mother tongue for many of us, so we make mistakes here and there. I would like to see many of you speaking or writing in other languages. We will share laughs
Brad says on 11/Oct/06
"Bear foot". Now bears have big feet. "Bare" ones don't. What's "falts to stil"? Sounds like a Yugoslavian wine machine. She's itty-bitty.
little minx says on 2/Oct/06
to anonymous i see your point but i think the fact that smg is wearin heels and u cant even see am feet proves you cannot judge height in footwear it would have to be bear foot to be a fair judge as heels vary from falts to stil!
Brad says on 15/Aug/06
"Bending a lot"? Probably a whole lot, she's 5' 2" and Lucci cool.
Glenn says on 11/Jun/06
5-2.Im bending alot.
RentGirl says on 10/Jun/06
Has Glen said anything about her height?
messedaroundchic says on 17/May/06

Anonymous says on 21/Mar/06

Serene says on 13/Feb/06
Sarah can't be 5'3"..she is shorter than 5'3" I think..maybe 5'2.25"..?
arua says on 25/Dec/05
Hi! It seems a bit too small, but I was watching some buffy extras last week and at a certain moment joss weddon said speaking abour the Riley caracter "he looks so tall because sarah is not even 5'2".
Just thought you would find it interesting
sam says on 15/Dec/05
does anyone know if the heights on the IMBD thing are officialy confirmed or not cz they seem to be contradicting with what the the heights that the celebs say they are.
sunbeame says on 2/Dec/05
I think she could be more 5'2 judging by the photo of her next to Kelly Ripa.
heightgirl says on 14/Sep/05
Here is Sarah standing next to 5'3 Kelly Ripa, both wearing heels. So I'd have to say the 5'2.5 height is perfect.

[Editor Rob: gellar cannot decide her height. I begin to think 5ft 2 looks more correct from seeing a few buffy reruns with hannigan/benson]
CelebHeights Editor says on 29/Aug/05
In RollingStone, "Most actresses are all, give or take, the same size - we're all between five-two and five-five, and between 95 and 125 pounds"
CelebHeights Editor says on 26/Aug/05
In one of the interviews where she says 5ft 3, fellow co-star of Swan's Crossing/All My Children Shane McDermott said 'I'm 5ft 9'
CelebHeights Editor says on 17/Aug/05
She's consistantly inconsistant: "I'm naturally thin, and people forget that I'm only 5ft 2".
CelebHeights Editor says on 17/Aug/05
Here's another quote from movieline (unless transcripted wrongly) where she can't seem to decide if she's 5ft 2 or 3 ;) "I'm a little person, and to see this five-foot-two, 100-pound blonde girl kicking ass is exciting"
McFan says on 13/Jul/05
She is in no way 5'3. At the most 5'2.
CelebHeights Editor says on 14/Jun/05
Hmm, in 2002 she didn't sound as thought she knows exactly: "Eh...maybe like 5' 3"
Gigy says on 11/Jun/05
It only logical that Michelle. T would tower over Sarah M.G, cos Michelle is 5'7/170 cm and Sarah M.G only 5'2/159 cm... That´s like 11 cm difference in height, and the odd thing is, on Buffy you didn´t notice it all that much! Sure Sarah still looked sharter but not that much shorter! I guess they had her stand on boxes (like Kristin Kreuk on ´Smallville´), especially when she was standing next to David B.
ChickKick says on 20/May/05
I've met her before, she's 5'3. Besides, if she said she was 5'2 several years ago, couldn't she have grown by now?
