She looks much shorter. I'd be surprised if she was that close to 5'10" or 5'11".
And.. according to her, a tall man is at least at 6-foot. Anything below her 5'9" just "isn't tall." That makes me feel sad. :(
It's the truth though LOL. 5 ft 10 or 11 isn't tall.

I think she wears boots and heels a lot thats why she make look tall,but yeah Jason Biggs is listed as 5'9 and looks a bit taller than her.
Jon Abrahams who was in Scary movie with Shannon is listed as 5'8 but he looked much shorter than her and looked closer to height with 5'5 Anna Faris

She looked tall in That 70's Show next to Ashton Kutcher and everyone else, although she was defintely a little bit shorter than Laura Prepon by at least an inch. Also, Shannon appears at the end in Love Actually and she also looked tall in that, so I can believe as high as 5'9" for her, this listing sounds right. I'll give her 5'8.5".

Here Shannon looks about 3cm shorter than Jason Biggs so if Biggs really is 175cm then Shannon is about 172cm.

I saw Shannon playing a bit-part earlier today in the film 'Cursed', with the pocket-sized
Christina Ricci, and yes, of course she looked tall! She says she is 5ft9. I think she might well be - she doesn't look undersized in 'Thirteen Ghosts' either.
I will go along with 5ft8.75, halfway between the height stipulated here and the one she says for herself. As she was talking about her ideal man not having to be tall 'but taller than me', I think she's someone who puts up with how she was made, possibly wishing to be a tiny bit smaller because she'd have a greater choice of fellas!

I was an extra in Night of the Demons with her, i'm 5'8 & 3/4. She had on some boots with heels but I would agree she's at least 5'8.

5ft7 is a joke, Bon. finally one tall gal that does not downgrade her height. she was really hot back in the day. her acting skills have been below mediocre though.

I think she is more around solid 5'7, most likely not anything under.

I think 5'9" is pretty accurate for Shannon. Derek Hough is 5'10", not 5'8".

Heres a tough one.. I haven't doubted that shannon elizabeth is 5'9, however from looking at a couple of photos of her and derek hough, who is listed as 5'8, it is evident that she is CLEARLY shorter than the 5'8 derek hough... Could it be camera angles? Could it hough's height be listed incorrectly..?

I met her last night @ a concert in cincy; she's so pretty & was all smiles like we often see in her pictures; I think she & I are the same height; I'm slightly under 5'9" w/o heels; I was wearing 4" heels & Elizabeth was wearing boots w about 3" heels - I appear 1" taller cuz of my heels; so, I say she's between 5' 8.5" - 5' 9" :)

I watched american pie and she looked really tall next to jason biggs who is assumingly 178cm. She was like a few inches shorter than him with flats. I would say she's 5 foot 9 max. No taller.

High heels, and a slim figure can make a girl look a lot taller.

She looks much shorter. I'd be surprised if she was that close to 5'10" or 5'11".
And.. according to her, a tall man is at least at 6-foot. Anything below her 5'9" just "isn't tall." That makes me feel sad. :(

Come on.. Saying this girl looks 5'6" is so stupid... She is tall -- hasn't anyone watched her on Dancing with the Stars?.. It's painfully obvious that she is TALL..She is the tallest girl on there and looks tall standing next to her partner and other men on there... She has some of the longest legs I have seen in Hollywood -- yet a lot of people want to say she is only an inch or 2 above average.. Gimme a break.. Shes 5'9"..

Solid 5'9, I actually thought she was more like 5'10 when I saw her on the beach barefoot. "Dancing With The Stars" again shows she is a tall girl.

Shannon is a legit 5'9. I stood next to her at Sundance, we're both bearing regular plain old sneakers (I'm 5'9) and my friend verified we're the same height.

Well, if she stated she was 5'9'' why did you put her height at 5'8.5 do you think she's lying?

I don't think it's that hard to believe she is 5'9. Why would she lie about being taller. Besides, you can't say you can see she's shorter than 5'9 from pictures og by seeing her on screen.*****
everyone lies about their height except me. :) i dont need to with 1.93cm height, losing an inch i'd be 1.90cm (still very tall) and gain an ich i'd be 1.95-1.96? still tall. :D

I met Shannon at Sundance a couple years ago, she is definitely 5'9, no shorter.

normal slippers are about 1 inch high, not at the front, but at the heel (which is where it counts). front of the shoe is thinner.
still, even if we assume that Reid is 5'5.5", and that those slippers are only 1/2 an inch high at the heels (which is unbelievably thin), that makes Shannon 5'9.5". Since Reid looks no more than 1/2 an inch shorter there --> Reid is 5'9" in those shoes --> she is wearing at least 3.5 inch heels? Those shoes just don't look that big.

I don't think those slippers add an inch. I also think (from personal encounters) that Tara Reid is at Least 5'5 maybe a little more.

I've never thought she was 5'9. And there is no way she is that tall if Dhani is 6'1... and I doubt he is taller than 6'1 . I agree Shannan is 5'6-5'7.
I wouldn't put a "however" when talking about Conan commenting on her legs, though. Although he is tall, he could notice someone 5'6-5'7 with long legs.

In that picture next to Dhani Jones, she looks maybe 168–170 cm/5'6"–5'7"... However, I remember Conan O'Brien saying to her: "My God, how long legs you have!" Considering Conan's size, you'd think you need to be quite tall to impress him in the height department. Too bad I wasn't paying any attention whatsoever to her height at the time :(
Maybe that photo shouldn't be used for estimates, since you can see only part of them. Yet, if someone's wearing lifts or heels there, I wouldn't bet on Dhani.

Yes, Rob. After the last picture you posted of her under Anna Nicole Smith's page, I would indeed say it is time to peg Elizabeth down.

If you look at her in the 2nd Pie movie, you'll see that they often have her barefoot when next to Jason Biggs, and in full length shots she may have almost an inch over him. Not sure how tall he is, but she's probably a half inch taller.
