Joe says on 20/May/08
Looks about 6-2 in the picture considering she's not standing straight. Probably 6-0 barefoot
Anonymous Chick says on 4/May/08
I was in Santa Monica when she walked by and I was in shock. That woman is really TALL and very svelte. She's got that lanky and long look going on. Now I'm not exactly short (5'9 1/2 according to my doctor) and I had this "oh woah!" reaction to her so I'm guessing she's close to 6'0. I felt short!
Anonymous says on 26/Apr/08
I think she's 6'0.
Paul says on 20/Apr/08
Yeah in the dance scene in 'Pulp Fiction' with John Travolta, she looks pretty much the same height as him barefoot.
Anonymous says on 7/Apr/08
Jae, she's wearing high heels.
Jae says on 6/Apr/08
Way over 5'11.5, she's like 6'0 -6'0.5 according to your picture Glenn
ACG says on 30/Mar/08
tall, without a doubt. good evidence is the barefoot scene with travolta. they were almost identical in height.
Lmeister says on 27/Mar/08
A lot of taller ladies downplay their height. I've been dating 2 ladies whom are both taller than 5ft10. The first one said 5ft9.25 and the second said that she is 5ft10 eventhough she was clearly around 5f11.
glenn says on 27/Mar/08
sure miko.why not? i buy that too.
miko says on 27/Mar/08
Could be 6"0 out of bed.
glenn says on 27/Mar/08
she is downplaying.if im wrong the smallest this women is,is 5-11.read what the top of the page says.5-11.5 and 5-11.
timber says on 26/Mar/08
According to "erika says on 14/Aug/06", Uma herself said she is "5'10" and a tad", so either she was downplaying her height that time or she really is 5-10.
glenn says on 25/Mar/08
oldman claims 5-9.and i think he is.we cant see footwear.uma is no less than 5-11.5.ive seen her pretty much barefoot on film sets.
Charliemoto says on 25/Mar/08
5'11.5 is fine she does look 6'3+ in that image in heels.
Hugh says on 24/Mar/08
I think she's 5ft10.5 tops. You have Travolta listed as 6ft on this site where as in Pulp Fiction he is clearly taller than her by at least 2 inches. If shes 6ft then Travolta is 6ft2.
tauni says on 24/Mar/08
i dont think people understand how hard it is to be tall u know bck in ireland im known as average/tall at 5"7 and sometimes stick out wen with the rest of my family sure but sure you live with it and am not self conscious anymore i think tall ppl are standout for all the right reasons i.e.long legs etc (im not slaggin shrt ppl bcause there nice too)uman thurman is a good example of tall beautiful ppl
timber says on 23/Mar/08
I think she is only two, not 3 or more inches taller than her ex, Gary Oldman, (5 ft 8.5). So, 5 ft 10.5 I'd say. See this pic from 1990: Click Here
glenn says on 22/Mar/08
bruce willis is 6-1.and uma is at least 5-11.5.
Hugh says on 22/Mar/08
If she is 6ft then that makes Bruce willis 6ft1-6ft2. Travolta 6ftt2.5 and Jackson 6ft3.5. On one of the poster it shows the four main cast members and Uma is noticeably the shortest one there. Weird.
Hugh says on 18/Mar/08
Her brother is 6ft5 apparently.
CS says on 16/Mar/08
I'm a 6'3 woman. I have always stuck out everywhere I went and sometimes it bothers me and sometimes it doesn't. The thing that annoys me most is how it is ALWAYS a topic of conversation when meeting new people.
Elle says on 9/Mar/08
She has a tall Mum and tall Dad. Her Mum was 5'11 and her dad was 6'4, so chances are she's going to be tall. I agree that she could be closer to 6'1 then 6'. Come on! Give her the 6'!
sam says on 8/Mar/08
i guess that is true that the situation can be tougher for very very tall people, than it is for short people. Afterall, they don't make reverse lifts...
Heli says on 27/Feb/08
I´m from small country in North Europe. And we are among the tallest nations of the world, if I´m not mistaken then in Europe only Danes beat us in height. Still, most of us aren´t "huge", average estonian woman nowadays is something between 165-170cm (5 ft 5- 5 ft 7), my 168 cm
(5ft6)mother was considered tall girl when she was young- in the 60´s. She was tallest of her sisters, they were 158-162 cm (5 ft 2- 5 ft 4). And then she had me..father was 182 cm- almost 6ft , tall man in 60´s, but average now. I´m 180,5 cm at age of 30 - 5 ft 11, deff. very tall and I was 178 cm already at age of 13. And also in kindergarten I was the tallest as I have seen from photos. I do feel huge among my aunts and other relatives, most of them are between 160-175 cm- also men to be honest so it´s really weird to be so tall one in the family who is below average in fact but dispite of all that, I actually enjoy my height after I learned to accept and live with it though even in my country it causes sometimes uncomfortable attention- when I wear high heels f.e. So I guess what I was trying to say, is that it is very good that there are also tall celebrities like Uma Thurman who give positive influence to other insecure tall people all over the world :)
glenn says on 24/Feb/08
gramps is right.she isnt 5-11.she is 5-11.5,5-11.75.almost 6ft.

seriously

I'm curious as to what Uma was like...cos usually those ultra tall women who are like 5'8", 5'9" PLUS are tall from very early on, just like you. My sister had a girl like that in her class a few years ago. She was like 12 and 5'6"-5'7", she was a FREAK ! (No offense to you or anything !). But she was also humongous in general, she was well obese so she was huge in every sense, not just height. This made her seem even more like a giant.

I suspect Uma was around 6' before she hit high-school or when she just started. Either that, or she continued to grow right up until she hit adulthood.

I was projected to be 5'4" then 6'2" as a child but thankfully, they were both far off the mark. I don't find anything wrong with either heights, but both are kind of extreme. At around 10 or so I was 5'6" and I continually grew, but just slowed down. Most women do stop at 14-16 (sometimes as low as 12-13), but not me. I'll be 21 in less than two months yet I kept growing up until 3-4 months ago. I hope that's the end of it too-- it's a hassle buying new clothes. And modeling...well, let's just say you have to be really stuck on yourself. It's not for everyone. And ironically, it's the shorter girls who seem to want to be models so badly (as in, fashion), and always boost up their height while at the same time lie about their weight. About six years ago, I remember a girl who was around 5'6" or so and her mother forced her into stating that she was 2" taller and 10-15 lbs. smaller. It was quite ridiculous.

PS. If you're really tall, people WILL focus on your height, whether you're a 5'9" woman or a 6'3" man. It's not JUST the women !! It's just that usually really tall guys stand out in a good way cos women find that sexy while really tall women stand out as just plain weird or even intimidating. I find that kinda unfair, even though I'm a guy, lol ! It's just that people with something very rare about them seem to attract a lot of attention for it and yes people DO focus on those attributes. Height (or lack of thereof), freckles, weight, rare hair/eyecolors ...Example : I've got red hair which is ultra-rare, ESPECIALLY for here. I realise how it is to be looked at like a freak or like an exhibit !! People very regularly look at me in a weird way and it annoys me but I've gotten used to it (since it's always been this way, lol !). I have people walk up to me (complete starngers I mean !!) and ask me if that's my natural color. How weird is that ? No matter what I did at school, I was always "that guy with the fluffy red hair". Regardless of behaviour, academic performance, personality, looks, anything, I was "the redhead". SO yup, people will focus on that no matter what you do (well i can dye my hair but you can't really chop off niches but you get my drift, lol !). Don't sweat it.

Really ? I always thought modelling would be cool, lol . I'd always thought it would be great just to sit around and have people take pictures of you and make you look sexy in photos, I'd try it if i was taller and better looking, ahahaha !
Getting paid for looking pretty...how cool ! :D

Really ? that was one of the other things I was gonna ask you about. So you're one of those girls who have always been tall...I was curious if that was a puberty-growth sprout or if it was from before. For example, NOW I am tall (at least for here, Greece) but as a kid I was always small. I was always one of the smallest kids, and until my growth spurt at late 12-13 years old. Then I suddenly shot up and I remember on my 13th birthday I was 5'6". On my 14th I was 5'7.5", on my 15th I was 5'9" and from then on I just getting about 0.25-0.5" a year so now at 19 I'm 5'10.5"-5'11".

Likewise, my sister is also tall (especially for her age, and of course, for here !) but she ALSO never was tall before puberty. She was a tiny kid up until 11 years old (she was like 4'8" or 4'9" in 6th grade) then she suddenly started shooting up and piling on the inches like crazy, she was 5 feet at 12, 5'4" at 13, 5'5.5" at 14 and now at 15 (she turned in late September) she's 5'7" .

Last year (9th grade) she was taller than pretty much all of her female classmates and eye-to-eye with most guys if not even a bit taller, and this year she's still taller than practically all of her girl friends/classmates but the guys have finally started really "developing" into young men, whereby they're also growing like crazy as well, at a faster rate than her...so she's not taller anymore !

I'm curious as to what Uma was like...cos usually those ultra tall women who are like 5'8", 5'9" PLUS are tall from very early on, just like you. My sister had a girl like that in her class a few years ago. She was like 12 and 5'6"-5'7", she was a FREAK ! (No offense to you or anything !). But she was also humongous in general, she was well obese so she was huge in every sense, not just height. This made her seem even more like a giant.

LOL. I don't do that now, but in the past I did. But it's just not the same for women as it is for men-- and many tall women, regardless if they're attractive or not, don't like to always have people focus on their height. I myself have done modeling, but it's not for me-- way too conceited.

Also, it's not as if I was ever a short child either. I've been very tall ever since 3-4 years of age. When you're 5' in kindergarten...well, let's just say it's not always the best feeling in the world. That, and I also had another growth spurt as of late which brought me from 5'9" to 5'10". That's pretty annoying, especially if you're not supposed to be growing anymore. As for heels, I don't have anything against them, but I've never been too fond of them.
Anonymous says on 14/Feb/08
@ C. Well why then ? Why are you saying 5'8" if you're 5'9" ??? It's not like it's a bad thing !! It's not like admitting you committed a murder or something !

Tell you what : it might be true that guys aren't too fond of girls taller than them but it really depends on the girl . I mean, HERE at least most guys would kill to get laid by one of those really hot supermodels (you know, like the Victoria's Secret ones !) like Adriana Lima, Giselle etc, even though they're obviously taller than most of them !! We like women who feel sexy and comfortable in their own skin . And Adriana Lima (even IN her 3-4 inch heels) strutting her stuff and walking super-tall is always sexier than another tall girl who is walking like she has back problems just to appear smaller !! Just my two cents !

Just on a sidenote , I remembered one other tall woman with no problems with her height. An ex-classmate of mine was (well still is I'd suppose !) about 5'10" (I measured her !!!) and she'd always wear 3-4" heels whenever there was a school party or any social event. She'd be looking down on me from her 6 foot PLUS height !
C. says on 11/Feb/08
@ Anonymous: Sounds like myself. I've been saying I'm 5'8" for the longest, as my driver's license says the same. However, one of my brothers is an actual 5'8" and we clearly do not look the same heightwise. That, and I clearly cannot pass for that height any longer, especially since I'm more often than not overestimated. At my college there are clearly tall girls, but it's tricky since they often wear boots, large heels, etc. to appear even taller. I, on the other hand, do not and I'm still taller than the majority on campus.

Uma though, looks 6'. Her 5'11" claim is just...no.
chris175 says on 10/Feb/08
i agree gramps and Anonymous, i have a good friend who is 6-2 maybe 6-2.5 barefoot and he is seeing a girl at the minute who says she is 5-11 and she always wears flats and slouches and still looks the same height as him shes a legit 6-1, and at 5-9 she absolutely dwarfs me, but its nothing to be ashamed of
Anonymous says on 10/Feb/08
It IS true that tall women downplay their height because they're insecure. Virtually all tall women I know except for my mum downplay their height. They usually cut of 1-2 inches. I don't know why they do feel that way though, being a guy. I mean I can get that they are afraid that guys won't find them attractive if they're taller but...it's not necessarily always that way. I think there are far less guys who find tall women unattractive than they actually think.

My mum is 5'9" and for here that's VERY tall for a woman , she's taller than at least 90% of the women here (here being Greece) if not more, and she's the same height or even a smidge taller than most guys (I think your average guy around here is about 5'8", I might be wrong but at least that's how it seems to me, so at 5'9"-5'9.25" flat she's about 0.5-1" taller than your average guy as well). Lately she's been cool with her height, but it hasn't always been that way. I remember when I was younger, like 10 years ago, she'd always try to pass as 5'7.5" and people said "yeah right !"...then it became 5'8"....then 5'8.5"....and now finally she admits that she is 5'9" or even a hair over. Like a celebrity but in reverse, haha !

Two tall girl friends or mine, one is 5'8" and the other is 5'10", are always downplaying their height to 5'7" and 5'8.5" respectively. I try to tell them to be proud of it but they don't really feel like it ! The funny thing is the 5'8" girl is MORE upset about her height than the 5'10" one !!! The taller one will occasionally admit she's 5'10" but the 5'8" one never ever !!! And one of my mum's sisters (she has 3) is (no joke) 6'1" (!!!!) and she's obviously a giantess but she tries to pass as 5'10"-5'10.5", that's what she said when I asked her how tall she was.

C. im 5'6" (legit) so im 2 inches taller then average. until recently i was only 5'2" and so i was petite. when i was last at school (at height 5'5 - 5'6") i would wear shoes that would bump me up to 5'8", whih werent that obvious so i really felt tall and most people didnt notice

so i experienced being petite, being average and being tall within around a year of each other. i can honestly say being tall feels sooo much better then anything else!! cant put my finger on why, its just better!!

That's great. But unfortunately tall women (as in, 5'8"-9" and up) do not always feel that way. When you're 5'5"-6" that's still pretty normal in terms of female height. But when you're 6' like Uma, that may very well be the case. You're taller than the average man and virtually almost all women (at 8" taller than the avg.), and that does not always equate to good self-esteem. For the longest, it's been the ideal for a woman to be short or petite, although recently it's becoming more 'accepted' (note that I put that in quotes) for tall, statuesque women to be considered attractive. 5'2" is petite, but there's nothing wrong with that height. I was your current height at ten-eleven years of age, and that definitely did not make me feel better about myself at that age. And I'm still taller than the majority of women but I'm an adult. I can deal.

However, Uma is 2" taller than I so I can't say that if I were that height I would necessarily be happy/comfortable at that height. TNTinCA just mentioned that she suffers from body dysmorphic disorder so right there is an indication that she has issues with her height. So being (truly) tall, again, does not necessarily equate to great self esteem.
Gramps says on 9/Feb/08
I notice at the top here, Uma says "I'm like 5'11"." When a girl says that, the translation is she's 6'0 or taller!
mimi says on 9/Feb/08
wow hell i didnt know she's that tall.. damn uma
mimi says on 9/Feb/08
wow hell i didnt know she's that tall.. damn uma
anonamous says on 9/Feb/08
holy crap! thats tall!!!!!!!!!!
TNTinCA says on 8/Feb/08
Uma has admitted that she suffers from body dysmorphic disorder, which is a psychological condition that makes people continuously believe they have physical flaws. That being said, I think she DOES downplay her height as a consequence of that condition. She probably wrongly assumes she is "freakish" for her height when in actuallity, she is statuesque and stunning. So my guess is that she is 6 foot even. Every photo and movie I have seen her in leads to that conclusion.

anyways i saw an article/interview with uma and the one who was writing the article describe uma as "striking" etc and said she was over 6ft.
Julian says on 13/Jan/08
I agree with people that claims Uma is 6' or even taller. I just saw this 2005 movie named "Be Cool", There is a sccene where Travolta dances with Uma, Travolta is using normal shoes while Uma is using snickers (veri thin sole), eventhoug it looked most of the time that Uma is taller than Travolta. Here is a foto to make my point, the foto is not the perfect one since is not a full body take and their postures are not the same. Is a lot usefull to watch the movie. Click Here
Mangeos says on 12/Jan/08
She's easily 6'0, maybe even a bit more.
venus says on 5/Jan/08
She's slouching, I think she's a tad ashamed of her tallness. I give 6 feet the most.
Sam says on 5/Jan/08
it looks like uma could easily be 6'0. its hard to tell, shes really tall! she looks close to 6'0, shes more like 5'11- 5'11 1/2.
Anonymous says on 2/Jan/08
yeah..I also read that she used to downplay her height because she was really embarrassed about it...BUT WHO WOULDN`T WANT TO BE 6FT?..I guess if you are a girl, that`s a problem
dmeyer says on 23/Dec/07
considering she had 4 to 4.5 in heels when i met her and i had 1.4 in ,she should be 5'11.5
ted T says on 23/Dec/07
Mr.Cool the 6-1 is in your MIND.Uma is a tad under 6ft.
Mr.Cool says on 22/Dec/07
Uma is easily 6'1".She is very tall.I am 5'4".I really like women taller than me.She is hot.
ted T says on 22/Dec/07
Uma is 181,5 cm max.
JEWEL says on 21/Dec/07
I believe Thurman has downplayed her height.

Its even possible that she is actually 6.1 - thats what i saw on a documentary about her in her early years at primary shcool or something.

I think you should just accept yourself.
C. says on 15/Dec/07
Two inch heels only add around an inch. So she's closer to 6'.
Mr Mayfair says on 15/Dec/07
Today she walked right pass me (outside my office in London) where she was making a film. Wearing 2 inch heals she stood 6 foot 1 inch tall, so 5.11 without.
Socom says on 8/Dec/07
I was just trying to make a case that maybe she is not as tall as she looks :) However this height listing seems dead on.
C. says on 7/Dec/07
She looks taller than 5'11" to me. You can't see the ground on this pic so how do you know it's favoring her? But then again, that's your opinion. She looks 6' at least.
Hélène says on 7/Dec/07
I know for sure this gal's wearing heels. She's leaning. Give her a pair of ballet shoes!
Socom says on 7/Dec/07
Forget what I said. I mean 5'11
Socom says on 7/Dec/07
Let me put this in perspective. Glenn is 5'8. In the picture if Uma wasn't leaning she is approximately 6.5 inches taller than Glenn, putting her at 6'2.5, minus 2 inches for heels = 4.5 inches taller than Glenn, putting her at 6 feet solid. Also it seems clear to me the ground level is favoring Uma about 2 inches, I will say 1.5 inches. It all becomes clear Uma is approximately 5'10.5
brother_h says on 27/Nov/07
she looks 6'0 to me.
tall old men scare me, but tall women is just Brrrrr <=[
C. says on 19/Nov/07
She truly looks 6', if not more. And very tall women definitely do downplay their height-- after all, being 6' tall easily dwarfs many of the lead hunks in Hollywood whom are known lift-wearers. And even if tall may be the 'in' thing in Hollywood, for an already tall woman like Uma boosting up her height just seems preposterous. Kidman is shorter and also does the leaning in/crooked posture like Uma in photos, and has said herself she's been self-conscious about her height. And you're telling me Uma isn't (or hasn't/still isn't) being so tall?

Sure, models love to brag about their height (in order to make up for cutoff heights and whatnot; not to mention that's what's required in the first place for a model), but most TRULY tall women (I'm talking 5'8"+ range; especially those over 6' tall) don't like to draw more emphasis on their height than necessary. One of my female friends who's around 6'2" always downplays her height at an exact 6'. It's ridiculous, although I admit that I myself have been guilty of doing so in the past, although I'm 5'9". Believe it or not, many tall women downplay their height, even if it's by an half-inch or whatever just to "fit in". Being little and petite is still favored, and with all of the short females in Hollywood like that of the rest of the population, I find it unlikely that Uma's going to up her height and thus declare herself as the "giant" of the bunch.

If you aren't a tall female you wouldn't understand (unless you're comfortable with your height and that's great of course! I'm still struggling myself). It's not the same as it is for the guys-- it's frustrating to be singled out and deemed as the 'big girl' (even if you're rail-thin like Uma) amongst the crowd.

So I'm going with 6'. Thurman has definitely downplayed her height for vanity, as mentioned by several others previously.

Uma is 6' she said so in a biography show. to all of you who keep saying that actress lie about their height for roles. that is bull these women do not need to lie about their height. They are celebrated for being tall, talented and georgous.

I'm sure this won't be read by him, but unfortunately for "5'11" guy, if the majority of men in the area of China he claims were around his height, he's closer to 5'9 than 5'11. I'm 5'8, short in the US and shorter in Europe, and I was squarely average in both China and Japan, though I will say that the Chinese and Japanese people on the whole are much better looking and more fashion forward in their home countries, they aren't taller.

Rob, i have seen listings for Uma at 5-10(in bigheadedpygmies or sth like that) and Jorge Garcia at 5-9.She said that she is 5-11;Why she claimed that she is shorter than in real life?Maybe because she is?And if Garcia is 5-11.25 ,they list him at 175cm???That's impossible;if he was 5-11 even a blind man would notice the difference,it is 6cm!I have never seen in my life a legit 5-11(as he listed here)put down at 5-9.Is it possible that they are so wrong or they are way shorter than we imagine?Rob?

[Editor Rob: There's 0% chance he is 5ft 9. People can estimate or list whatever they want though.]

182cm for Uma is very precise.She is not over six feet.Actually she looks shorter than John Glover(181cm) in Batman and robin.Although i don't know if he wore lifts.
fp says on 19/Aug/07
Wow! she's a giant, she has to be 6'0+ because even if she has heels on it does'nt matter because if she stood up straight she could look right over the top of glenn's head. I've seen guys listed on this site as being 6'2+ that don't stand any taller than she is there. I think I saw a pic of glenn and the Rock and he was only a little taller than that.
Don says on 17/Aug/07
She's 6' & maybe a bit taller than that too. Misha & Anthony are right. She has to round down. If you're a 6 foot woman, you'll probably never get cast on anything other than sci-fi or on a friend's indie pic, meanwhile the Halle Berrys' & Scarlett Johanssons' can go out for any part.
Anonymous says on 6/Aug/07
my guess was 6'0
ethan hawke and her looked the same but yes, i agree with tall's comment
glenn says on 5/Aug/07
who is this anonymous moron?
Anonymous says on 4/Aug/07
im 5'11 and my sister 5'8 and we dont look that different in height measurements. She looks dressed up, so she probably wearing heels, that why she looks so tall. I say 6'' even. WHo is this fool, glen? just wondering...
Sonja says on 29/Jul/07
Was Uma wearing any high heels? If so, did anybody deduct the height of her heels to estimate her height?
joe says on 19/Jul/07
I saw those pics too. Elle slouches in many of the pics. In some pics, Elle is 2 inches taller, in some Uma is 2 inches tallet, in some they are the same. She is 100% at least 6 foot (Elle is 6 Feet) or a little taller.
Leung says on 8/Jul/07
Saw recent pictures of Thurman and Elle Macpherson and Thurman looked about 1.5 inches taller than Elle, so yeah Thurman could very well be a legit 6'
Anonymous Rex says on 7/Jul/07
looks taller than leo dicapprio's pic with glenn if she would straighten up.
Juillet says on 5/Jul/07
she is 6'. i am a woman and am 6' and i've met her and we are eye to eye. we were both in flats.
tall says on 26/Jun/07
Here it is, guys, women who are six feet tall routinely downplay their height because we are tired of the comments from total strangers. In pictures we lean, bend at the knee, especially when we are taking pics with shorter men and most of them are shorter.
asdf says on 5/Jun/07
I agree that she is at least 6 feet, maybe even over. I remember watching the E True Hollywood Story about her and they said she was 6 feet at 13 when she first started modeling. I'm sure she grew a bit more since then.
Betty says on 27/May/07
In kill bill 2, when shes is fightin elle (daryl hannah) . Daryl is in 2 inch heels , mkaing her baout 6 feet. Uma is barefoot and still has an inch on her.
Shes more like 6 feet at least/
kiefer says on 22/May/07
She towered on me when I met her last year. I am round 5ft 6 and I only came up to her chin and she was only standing in barefeet.

Bob says on 9/Apr/07
lol, who the hell is this glenn guy?
Matt says on 4/Apr/07
Oh my god! She's actually slouching and still much taller then Glenn! With these heals, she looks about 6'2! I'd say her real height is 6'0.
Maria says on 31/Mar/07
Well at least people here in Iceland are VERY tall compared to chinese and japanese people:) I'm very tall (1.77cm) aand I almost never wear heals because of the height but like a lot of guys here are 1.80 and over so things are alright;P
5'11 guy says on 30/Mar/07
Whoever said that the average height in China and Japan is 5'4 is thick. I'm white british, and 5'11.5, which is about average here in the south-west. All the Beijing Chinese guys I've met are around my height, give or take an inch. Japanese and southern Chinese tend to be shorter, about 5'9 usually.
Tory says on 27/Mar/07
She is 183.... In Pulp Fiction Uma and Travolta are almost the same. Travolta was like 186-187 cm.
KT says on 26/Mar/07
No way is she playing the feminine card by saying she's 5'11" when she's 6'0".She is not 6 feet.

Watch Pulp Fiction people. There is this dance scene with her and Travolta. You see them take their shoes off, and stand next to each other barefoot. Travolta was distinctly taller. So if Uma is 6 feet, then Travolta is close to 6'2. Which would then make Samuel L. Jackson close to 6'5".

Understand now?

She's 5'11.5 people.
glenn says on 23/Mar/07
it was up since last summer.
D. Ray Morton says on 23/Mar/07
Holy shit, how did I miss this pic?

She's a beanstalk. Fee-fi-fomuthafuckin'fum.
glenn says on 22/Mar/07
1.75 sneakers.
Anonymous says on 21/Mar/07
Wow, she's really slouching bad and Glenn is standing pretty straight. There's a huge height difference here, even if you factor in the heels which may give her a 2 inch advantage over Glenn. She looks 6' to me. She plays the 5' 11" card because it feels more feminine to her.
Erika says on 21/Mar/07
Uma slouches much more than Glenn and I doubt she is in such heels, also 10 cm. heels give you like 8 cm - not more. Uma is clearly nothing less than 183 cm, nothing more also.
Joakim Ågren says on 21/Mar/07
I can see that the height difference on this picture between Glenn and Uma is 4.5"(11CM). Both are slouching but Uma slouches slightly more. I make a qualified guess that Glenn loses 1.25"(3CM) while Uma loses 1.5"(4CM). So if both where standing straight the height difference would be 4.75"(12CM). I asume Glenn is wearing regular sneakers which will give a Pivot point/height gain of 0.75"(2CM)making him 5'8.75"(175CM) so that makes Uma 6'1.5"(187CM). From the position of her hip and the way she leans forward and the way her upper torso is positioned I make a qualified guess that she is wearing 4"(10CM) heels with a rather steep angle and maybe only a 0.5"(1CM) platform. This will give her a Pivot point at 2.75"(7CM) above the ground giving her a height increase of 2.75"(7CM) so 187CM-7CM is 180CM or 5'10.75" and that is most likely her height. I will give her a full 5'11"(180.5CM) and that is also the heigh she herself has given so it is most likely true. 5'11.5" is a bit much I think!

[Editor Rob: she'd have slightly higher pivot, with a longer foot, not much but a little but I doubt glenn is in 3/4 inch shoes???]
Astrid says on 15/Mar/07
Think of the 4 inch rule... If Glenn's 5'8", he comes up to her eyebrows as it is.... which would make Uma AT LEAST 6 foot (probably taller, check out the slouch on her in this pic). Was she wearing heels Glenn?
Josh says on 14/Mar/07
I saw Uma on Regis & Kelly and she said she was 5 11 1/2.
Misha says on 14/Mar/07
People who think Uma is rounding up need to realize that she is so tall she is
in danger of losing roles. Look at her in sandals towering over David Carradine as they walk through the streets in a Kill Bill scene. 6'0" barefoot is an obvious minimum for her - she's slouching tremendously with Glenn and could easily be taller than six even.
Jordan says on 13/Mar/07
Dam she looks a good 5'11.5 maybe even 6'0.
dmeyer says on 13/Mar/07
i see 10 cm with a big sloush so 14 15 cm taller g;enn is about 5'9 in shoes so 6'3 in heels so 6 ft barefeet
Viktoria says on 13/Mar/07
this is not 8 cm, it is like 12-13 cm....And is she was not leaning, the difference would be around 15 cm. I think Uma is in heels. Her height barefoot must be around 183 cm. or 6 ft.
tacky says on 13/Mar/07
She's about 5'11'', but she leaning down to you, but now I wonder about her foot wear.In this picture she taller than you about 8 cm.
dmeyer says on 11/Mar/07
i think uma and famke are 5'11.75 to 6 ft and they claim 5'11 to get more roles
MJ says on 11/Mar/07
Friend of mine who worked with her said she easily clears six foot, dwarfing almost all of the men on set. Apparently downplays height for vanity reasons.
AL says on 2/Mar/07
Uma is a touch under 6feet tall as i met mher a few years back in LA,
I also haft to say she fancied me a bit. You could tell she was dying yo give me a snog.
Lilabeth says on 17/Feb/07
I take a guess at 6", im 5"11 but when i'm stood with someone 5"8 i don't look that much taller, she must be wearing heels. I think she's slouching because being a tall woman can sometimes be embarrasing at times because everyone comments, i think she looks great.
Shaunelle says on 13/Feb/07
She's def. 6'0. But when I see her in movies with actors, I wonder why she looks so average height? I am a little over 6' myself, and I'd say I am very tall for a girl. :P
Jordan says on 9/Feb/07
Easy 5'11
Anthony says on 7/Feb/07
There's no way she's 5'10. It doesn't make sense for her to round up. Most tall actresses would find themselves in the position to round own (like Geena Davis). I think Uma is at least 6'.
Glenn says on 6/Feb/07
You ever meet her malcom? 5-10 is ridiculous.5-11.5 minimum.
malcom says on 5/Feb/07
i dont think so. it is evident she is a tall woman. No doubt about it, and she is over the average, but looking his films i dont think she is more than 1,78. All actors and actress add one or two centimenters to their heights, but she said she was 5,11", maybe 5,10" seems to be right.
Glenn says on 5/Feb/07
I agree TNT.she gives the illussion of 6-1 in sneakers,so she is 6ft.
dmeyer says on 5/Feb/07
she looked 6'2.5 in heels
E-- says on 28/Jan/07
Why do you all say she's very, very tall! I mean i'm that tall too, and I've never thought of myself as very, very tall! Also when I talk to people and they ask about my height, their not like going all crazy because I'm almost 6'o''. Please.. If you're over 6'o'' then you can say that you're very, very tall if you're a woman, which I am =)
Bibis says on 14/Jan/07
gosh i didnt now all about "morning height" and stuff
awesome
Matt says on 13/Jan/07
Jeez, she's slouching, she looks like 8-9 inches taller then Glenn! She must be huge in heals! She is definitely like 6'0. She's tall- for a man even!
G-MANN says on 13/Jan/07
In that picture with Glenn she's definetely stooping (you can see her bending at the waist), but then she may wearing heels
Anonymous says on 13/Jan/07
Uma was dancing with John Travolta, not Tarantino.
Glenn says on 13/Jan/07
Big heels that gave the illussion of 6-3.
Robert says on 12/Jan/07
Dmeyer, it is not a lie to claim your morning height, because that is your original height
Danimal says on 12/Jan/07
Alex, I think he meant she looked looked 6'0" with sneakers, not in them. 6'0" barefoot, not 5'11" plus sneakers. 6'0" plus sneakers. Right Glenn?
Anni says on 12/Jan/07
I have seen many movies with Uma and I think her height is very close to 6 ft (183 cm.) - no way she is 180 or shorter. I remember that moment in Pulp Fiction where Uma dances with Tarantino barefoot - there was almost no difference between them!
16and5'7'' says on 12/Jan/07
Holly crap Glenn!!! she has 5-6 inches on you and she's leaning!!!! does she have sneakers or heels on?? also just to put it out there my oldest sister is also 5'11''-5'11.5'' lol
Alex says on 11/Jan/07
Glenn, if she was 6'0 in sneakers then 5'11 seems most accurate then.
Glenn says on 8/Jan/07
Thats the movie set I was at where she looked 6ft in sneakers.
carla says on 7/Jan/07
haven't you guys seen 'My super ex- girlfriend"? She's way tall. Plus my mom met Uma and they went out for coffee:) my mom is 5"5 half an inch taller than me
Glenn says on 4/Jan/07
She was wearing heels.but Ive seen her look 6ft in sneakers too.
Alex says on 3/Jan/07
Forgot to ask in the previous post, how much height do you lose from out of bed to night, Rob?

[Editor Rob: half an inch.]
Alex says on 3/Jan/07
Yea, thats what I normally tell people, 6'0.5. Or I'll say in between 6'0 and 6'1.
Alex says on 3/Jan/07
Rob, I'm like that too. I can be 6'1 flat for like 10 minutes or something but I'll drop to 6'0.75 then 6'0.5 by an hour or so after I am up. By the early afternoon I could be down to 6'0.25 then by night 6'0. I am 6'0.25 for most of the day though I believe.

[Editor Rob: nobody would question you if you said 6ft 1/2 inch, they couldn't tell otherwise probably.]
Alex says on 3/Jan/07
She looks like a legit 6'0 with Glenn. What she wearing heels there or not? If she was then shes more 5'11.5 probably. She looks 6'0 in her movies though.
Anonymous says on 23/Dec/06
I'm 6'2" in the morning for a little bit and 6'1" the rest of the day.
dmeyer says on 12/Dec/06
you are right rob i am 181.7 to 182.3 cm in the morning for like 20 minute then 181 for a few hours and most of the day i am closer to 5'11 flat

[Editor Rob: yeah I have a whopping....10 minutes hovering near the 5ft 8.5 mark...rapidly descending to 173cm by afternoon and then a few more mm to go for 172.7 mark.

so you only really claim 5ft 11 anyway...or like a 'hair over' 5ft 11 and 1/8th to be nitpickity ;) ?]
Ines says on 24/Oct/06
The more I look at Uma on TV, the more I think she is like 185 cm...
dmeyer says on 26/Sep/06
when someone claim his morning height is it a lie ?

[Editor Rob: its the maximum they stand, so not lying. But how many people see you at your peak...

there's not a chance in hell I can claim 174cm, because I only touch that mark for 10 minutes...and within a few hours I'm heading towards 5ft 8 flat, and always 5ft 8 flat beside any celeb]


mous says on 21/Sep/06
wow she looks amazing. glenn how recent is this picture? you are so lucky man - i'd never have the gall to come up to celebrities to ask for a picture
Jonathan says on 18/Sep/06
Why complain over how tall celebrities are? If Uma says she is a little over 5'11" then that is her height or if The Rock says he is a little over 6'4" tall then that is their heights. Oh by the way, 5'11 1/2" tall is basically 6ft tall. As for who is taller uma thurman or saffron burrows?" The only way we will actually know is when there is a full body shot of the two ladies standing next to each other.
kene says on 15/Sep/06
she must be in heels.. met her twice. she looks more like 180range..
Glenn says on 12/Sep/06
Big heels to a movie premiere.

Looks around 6'1"-6'2" in heels. I'm sure she's wearing heels with Glenn. Probably slightly under 6' barefoot.

My friend met Uma when Uma visited Stockholm. My friend who´s working as a massue gave Uma some massage. She said she was very nice and they talked for about an hour. She said she was very tall at about 182 cm.

[Editor Rob: back around time of Truth about dogs and cats, she also described herself as "5ft 10", although clearly rounding down a bit]

mike says on 31/Aug/06
letterman looked taller in that you tube clip, but with women/girls let's say a woman is 5'11, and a guy is let's say 6'1 or 6'2 and with decent to big size heels the woman can be just as tall as that guy, look at glenn with shakira and shania twain pics..... i bet barefoot he would tower over them easily but in the pics on this webiste he doesnt because they wear large heels and arent really close to glenn's 5'8
Glenn says on 15/Aug/06
She seems 5-11.5 to me.Rob has this pic and should be submitting soon.

i met her on be cool she looked 2 inches taller than travolta she was with 3 .5 to 4 inches heels looked about 6 ft 3.5 to 64 in hells so around 6 barfeet
Anonymous says on 3/Aug/06
Glenn said somewhere that Uma is 6'1- 6'3 in heels. If he saw her at an event wearing a long dress then she must have been wearing at least 3-4" heels. That makes her anywhere from 5'10-6' barefoot. But I don't think Uma downplays her height. Hollywood is a male-dominated business. If anything she would add inches because it makes it easier to believe that her male co-stars are as tall as they say they are.
Glenn says on 28/Jul/06
Photo coming!
Anonymous says on 27/Jul/06
wtf, uma was on letterman and they were practically the same height. someone watch the clip of them when uma was on to promote my super ex-gf movie. they actually stood on the same platform (as some may not know, the area where the guest sits and letterman's desk is actually raised)
she wasn't even wearing high-heels, but flat soled shoes, and she was his height. either she is over 6', or letterman has shrunk, or maybe both. but lets get to the bottom of this matter

dectectives, disperse!

[Editor Rob: link]
tony says on 27/Jun/06
i saw a picture of uma and quentin and both look the same heigh quentin is listed at 6'2 uma was wearing 4 inch heels so that would make her 5'10
Angelica says on 19/Jun/06
Her feet are not big, they are in proportion with the rest of her statuesque body. It would be ridiculous for somebody who's just about 6 feet tall, to wear the same shoe size as somebody who's 5'2.
Ella says on 1/Jun/06
Yeah. She is definetly around 6 feet. I'm 5 feet tall and she was seriously a foot taller then me when I met her. She is beautiful but very. very tall!
dmeyer says on 28/May/06
she is closer to 6 feet like 5'11.75"
Aims says on 19/May/06
Yeah I heard she is very insecure about her height. :(
Anonymous says on 13/Mar/06
In one movie with Robert De Niro she diidn't appear to tower over him. She wasn't wearing big heeels. Both were barefoot in one scene and she was 1 or max 2 inches taller than he was.since robert de niro is 5'9,she shouldn't be taller than 5'11. But also the height comparisons in Kill Bill,Pulp Fiction are sensible. I come to the point that he was taller than 5'9 once in time but now maybe 5'8 or 5'9.
pretcico says on 9/Mar/06
The average British woman is just under 5'4", average man 5'9" (Click Here) The average height of a Japanese woman is 5'! Strange but true. I am the same height as Uma, not a giant by any means, and I very, very rarely meet a woman the same height/taller than me.
No_name says on 26/Feb/06
5' 4" is average only in japan/china/phillipines/pygm etc,sorry

Uma Thurman
TNTinCA says on 13/Feb/06
In the scene in Kill Bill 2 when she is fighthing Daryl Hannah, Uma is barefoot and Daryl is in 2 inch heels and they are practically eye to eye. So I can easily see close to 6 foot for Uma.
Also, in Pulp Fiction when Travolta and Thurman are dancing on stage, she didn't look more than a half inch shorter than him when she was barefoot and he was in socks.
Becky says on 28/Jan/06
WHOA! Uma Thurman is an amazonian goddess but i think she's taller than a lot of women including a lot of short men especially me because i think i'm not too tall and too short either i think i'm about regular height like most women i mean 5'4" is pretty average for depending how old a woman is!
leslie says on 14/Jan/06
I think uma's at the point in her career that she does'nt have to lie about her height.It's obvious the height she is has'nt prevented her from getting roles

[Editor Rob: I agree she is a-list enough that it doesn't matter. Some actresses do round down...I know a few in reality who would admit they've done it in the past...]
Mario says on 11/Jan/06
Funny that all Uma boyfriends look taller than Ussual.
Both Oldman and De Niro looked taller than before, and when they broked, they suddenly shrinked!

[Editor Rob: yeah, places like Richlee aren't churning out thousands of elevator shoes for nothing...people do wear em, some celebrities probably moreso than we imagine. Image is everything]
TheMan says on 30/Dec/05
I read somewhere shes 5,11 don't know for sure though seems tall though.

[Editor Rob: she's said just over 5ft 11. Whether like many actresses around 6ft they don't want to admit being 6ft is another question.]

"i think that uma is 1.82 .cuz luci liu is 1.60. she looks 10 or 12 cm over luci"

Luis, sorry to break this to you like this, but the difference between 1.82 and 1.60 is 22cm, not 12!
Height Tracker says on 24/Dec/05
I saw her on the Howard Stern show, and she told Howard that she was a little over 5'11" tall. This would make her probably about 181 or 182 cm, not quite 6 ft. Still exceptionally tall for a woman though, especially in Hollywood.
Violetta says on 6/Dec/05
Uma Thurman must be 184-185...That is what she looks in the moovies. I remember her shoes in Pulp Fiction (she takes them off before dancing)- such gold shoes without any heels at all!

I am sure that Uma must be 178 or 179 at the most. She may look taller because she is thin

Mr. J says on 23/Jul/05
I must add that in Kill Bill 2, Daryl is about
1/2" to 1" taller than Uma with heels (look close, daryl is leaning forward).
So if Daryl is 5'10" i would say close to 6'.
Some European sights says she is 182 cm (thats 5'11 and 3/4")
