I guess that just under 5 ft. 2 sounds about right. She looked tiny in the movie "Die die my darling" movie, actually the only movie I ever saw her in.

Oh yeah and Mae West. Mae West and Clara Bow were supposed to have slept with most men in Hollywood during that era.

Well Sue, Gardner was married to Mickey Rooney, I don't blame her for wanting a lot on the side hehe!! Clara Bow is the one which strikes me as particularly promiscuous from what I've read!
