A famous statement by Shirley from as far back as the sixties was that she was not deemed suitable
to continue her ballet career because she was 5'7" and 6 feet flat "en pointe", and she would tower
over the male dancers. She's now 73, so she may have lost some of her height.

I just saw a great youtube video clip of Shirley MacLaine dancing with Lucille Ball in a tv special from 1976 called "Gypsy in My Soul". Click Here In it they stand and dance side by side for about 5 minutes. Shirley is 39, Lucy is 64. In it, they look nearly identical in height, except I give a slight edge to Lucy by about 1/2". If Shirley was 5'-7" in her prime, Lucy was at least 5'-7 1/2" in hers, and maintained that height well into her 60's.

Shirley was five seven when she was younger. Jennifer Aniston is about five four. She also has an ugly nose that in person is even uglier! What Brad Pitt saw in her is beyond me. Jessica says on 31/Jan/06
I have to agree with gyllenhaalic823--
Shirley is NO 5'5"! I know people tend to shrink as they get older, but she's held up considerably well, both in looks and in height. She can't be that much shorter than 5'7" today. gyllenhaalic823 says on 23/Dec/05
if shirley is 5'5.5" then jennifer aniston should DEFINETELY be downgraded to 5'4" or less. shirley is considerably taller than her in Rumor Has It! |
