How tall is Warren Beatty

Warren Beatty's Height

6ft 0 (182.9 cm)

Peak height was 6ft 1 ¼ (186.1 cm)
American actor, best known for roles in films such as Bonnie and Clyde, The Parallax View, Dick Tracy, Reds, Heaven Can Wait and Bugsy. in a book - The Life and Wild Times - the author mentioned that "Occasionally, the six-foot-one actor was known to wear lifts in his shoes and to pump up his arms lifting weights before scenes in which his biceps would show, not unusual among actors.". In a 1963 News article, CelebHeights noticed the interviewer remarking on how he thought Warren was much taller, to which Beatty replied: "I'm six-foot-one, and I used to weigh 205 pounds when I was playing football. That's when I was 17 and 18."

Warren looks darn tall next to Faye Dunaway!

I can believe 6ft1.5 for his peak.

He was probably close to it, Ans316. At least 186 cm.

In the film The Parallax View, his character says he's 6'2. Not saying he was, but thought I would mention.
Sinclair said on 15/May/22
Rob, was he really over 6’1” at peak?
Editor Rob
He could look it at times, though the idea of lifts is something not to be dismissed...
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 19/Jul/21
Rob, maybe 6ft1½ is a more reasonable listing for his peak?


He was described 6ft1 and 6ft2....remember Michael Caine got that as well and he's maintained his 6ft2 listing

i saw in person Warren Beatty in NYC in the early 80s,i stood next to him at that time he was about 6'2" like some people said.He looked tall but was shorter than a friend i was with who is 6'3".I know many people will believe what they want but he is one of a number celebrities i happened to see in person when i lived in New york as a student of NYU at the time.I saw him at a bar he was with friends and he still looked good.

Editor Rob
Probably not less than 10 inch range

186-187 peak. Solid 6'1. A little bit shorter than hackman.
Jtm said on 12/Mar/19
there is a full body shot in lilith and even with better posture he's shorter than gene hackman. more convince than ever he was never over 6'1.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 20/Apr/18
Honestly, looks 189-190cm in that photo w/h Costner
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 18/Mar/18
I find this one hard to swallow
Gonzalo said on 12/Feb/18
He looked around 1`87-88 in his prime. Very similar to Gene Hackman, a legit 1`88 man
CDS said on 12/Feb/18
I think it's amusing in that pic how they have Mr. Cruise out front; you know like when you were kids, and they had the shorter kids always standing in the front row-??!! BAWWwhahhaaa
Jtm said on 10/Feb/18
Too bad we don't know if he's wearing lifts or not in that picture. He's shorter than Hackman in bonnie and cylde and some posters doubt Hackman was 6'2.
CDS said on 7/Feb/18
A good matchup pic of Beatty and some of the biggest stars of the '90s at the 1994 "Showest" convention. As you can see, he edges out everyone, include 6'1" (listed) Kevin Costner...

@Jay, so that means that Ryan Reynolds is 5'11-6' (claims 6'1-6'2) and Chris Pine is 5'10 (claims 6')? Mind blown
Jay said on 16/Jun/17
Warren Beatty has never been 6'2", he may have been 6'0", Hollywood men always add 2".
Chris said on 25/Apr/17
He's still a tall man, even now, aged 80+. I saw him accept his medal of freedom from W. Bush and he towered over the president. And W. Bush isn't a short man - he's 5'10. He's definitely over 6 feet even now. At his peak, he was between 6'2 and 6'3 in my opinion
Colin Dowson said on 17/Mar/17
I'm 6ft 3 and he was a good 2 inches fewer than me when I stood next to him!
Hollywood lies about Height!
Gene Hackman is a good 2 inches shorter than 6ft 4 Chris Reeve in Superman,that says it all
S.J.H said on 19/Jan/17
6'2?Ryan Reynolds doesn't look under 2" taller than 6'0.5 Warren Beatty. Both had similar posture, Ryan Reynolds edge out Warren Beatty by 5-6cm. Some people may say Warren Beatty is 182-183cm but in fact Warren Beatty is a solid 6'0.5 now and may not even be shorter than a present kevin costner

Tom said on 1/Jul/16
This is unexplainable. Watching the feature Promise Her Anything I was surprised to see Beatty hardly any taller than Keenan Wynn who is listed as being 5-10. And there were long shots showing the two men. Wynn was not wearing lifts.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 17/Feb/16
Might be still be 186cm. Definitely 187-188cm peak
Sam said on 3/Aug/15
I think he looked no more than a cm shorter than Hackman IMO.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 2/Aug/15
Rob, could we add a picture?
Editor Rob
that is the plan for every page eventually. I think it's past half-way point now...
jtm said on 2/Aug/15
he was shorter than gene hackman. 6'1 was most likely his peak height.

In Bonnie & Clyde

Warren Beatty - 6ft1¾(187cm)
Gene Hackman - 6ft2¼(189cm)
CDS said on 10/Mar/15
At the 1992 Golden Globes Awards (for 1991), I was surprised to see him looking taller than 6'2" Arnold Schwarzenegger, who presented him the award for Best Picture-drama for "Bugsy" if I'm not mistaken. So I'm thinking he must be 6'3". But looking through some of the old photos, especially that one next to 6'4" Chevy Chase, I'm going to say 6'1", maybe 6'1.5" peak height. We all now know Arnie isn't that tall. Not sure if he's (Warren) lost any height since hasn't really been in public or in movies for awhile. (FTR- Arnold- peak height 6'1.5", but more recently barely 6') At the GG for that year, could've just been the camera angles; who knows.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 12/Feb/15
Weird that looks 6ft1-2 in Bonnie & Clyde but more 6ft2-3 in Bugsy and Dick Tracey.
Brad said on 19/Oct/14
6' 2" peak. Madonna was on box with him.
Dave618 said on 6/Oct/14
I would say he is probably a full 6'2" in the AM, and about 6'1 and a half inch at supper time. Barefoot. He has been in some really good films. I enjoyed The Parallax View, Bugsy, Bullworth, and he was good in a little known film called Mickey One about a stand-up comic who is on the run from the Mafia. He is, or course, Shirley MacLaine's brother.
Sam said on 17/Jul/14
A genuine 6'2". I have mixed feelings on him, some of his movies I really enjoyed, but his vanity was overwhelming even for a movie star and, though obviously talented, he just didn't seem as good an actor as his friends like Nicholson and Hoffman. Might have enjoyed some movies of his as a director if he wasn't in them. Anyway, I still think it might have been interesting to see his interpretation of Bill in the Kill Bill films.
mister_lennon said on 4/May/14
i think that he was a weak 6'2 at peak. today, about a weak 6'1.
Arch Stanton said on 3/May/14
I've seen most of his films now and am convinced he was a legit 6'2" guy. He could look shorter when by himself but he consistently looked it compared to most and clearly looks it next to James Mason and Charles Grodin in Heaven Can Wait. I love the films he did with Julie Christie in particular. They had incredible chemistry.
Arch Stanton said on 2/May/14
Rob can you add Heaven Can Wait and Reds?
Arch Stanton said on 20/Mar/14
Claims 6'2 in the Parallax View. Looks shorter in it for some reason.

Never over 6'1''. He was known to wear lifts sometimes, even early on in his career according to a recent bio which in a section on his early days says he was 6'1''
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 24/Nov/13
I'm open to the possibility that Beatty might fall into 187-88cm group. There's quite a number of iconic movie stars from that period who were around 6ft2in. It was quite an impressive and striking height to be, almost to the same degree in which people perceive 6ft4in now.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 5/Nov/13
Beatty looked 188-89cm in Red and Dick Tracey. But, I think Arch has a point. Hackman edged him slightly in Bonnie & Clyde.

Rob, could Hackman have been maybe 6ft2.25in peak?
Editor Rob
for every guy who is about 6ft 2 you'll have ones 1/4 inch above or below and they most likely wouldn't bother saying that and just go with 6ft 2 - hackman in his 30's I think was a solid enough 6ft 2 guy, a fraction over? Maybe.
Arch Stanton said on 25/Oct/13
Rob can you add some more of his notable films like Heaven Can Wait, Reds, Dick Tracey, Bugsy and Bulworth? Looks 6'2" ish in Dick Tracey.
Arch Stanton said on 25/Sep/13
Looks 6'1.5-6'2" in Reds.
Arch Stanton said on 28/Aug/13
Rob have you seen Bonnie and Clyde? Click Here See 34-39, pause especially at 39:05 I think he looked a bit shorter than Hackman, looks more 6'1.5". There's obviously close but I think it's clear than Hackman is a bit taller?
Editor Rob
they look pretty close, possibly beatty can look weaker 6ft 2

I think that Warren was closer to 6-2. When I saw him a few years ago, he was a solid 6-1.

Warren is 187cm now. 190 in his prime.

@ George H.

Its the angles and Kidman has a bit more heel advantage.

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 1/Mar/11
He's probably 6"1.5(187cm) now
George H. said on 25/Jan/11
So, the general consenscus is that Nicole Kidman is 5'10"-5'11". In this pic with Beatty (in normal dress shoes, I checked other pictures of the event) her heels look about 2 inches high. Yet in the pic with Hugh Jackman, who is supposedly the same height as Beatty at 6'2", she's wearing lower heels and is slouching more, yet she's about the same height as Jackman. Click Here
Mr. R said on 29/Nov/10
I saw Warren a couple of years ago, and he is still standing tall. He is at least 6-1, and maybe a little taller than that. I was surprised.
Lenad said on 28/Nov/10
Probably 186cm now and 188-189cm at peak
Hugh 190cm said on 19/May/09
Warren might've been close to 6ft3 in his prime. 188cm peak and 186cm now.
Lenad said on 10/Apr/09
If Beatty was 6'2 peak (which he could definitly look) then he is closer to 6'1 now. He looks it. I once thought he was closer to 6'3 at peak but thats unlikey really.
Lenad said on 22/Mar/09
Glenn saw 6'0 tops and in Bonnie and Clyde he was the same height as Gene Hackman give or take 1cm so either Beatty wore lifts or Hackman was never taller than 6ft0 to begin with.
mcfan said on 5/Mar/09
I always thought Beatty wore lifts. If you notice he can look 6ft or look 6'2, but nothing has changed after all of these years.
Lenad said on 29/Dec/08
How he appears 6'0 We'll never know.
glenn said on 26/Nov/08
still seemed 6ft when i saw him 18 months ago.or was it 2 years now? anyway,i dont deny he was or is 6-2,6-3.strange he seems shorter to me and photogs/peers.
Hugh said on 25/Nov/08
Still a full 6ft2.
George H. said on 4/Nov/08
runt, like I said, Beatty is the tiniest bit shorter than Poitier, maybe not even a full inch, but the very first photo you posted Oct. 31 was misleading (not your fault). I even saw a picture of Beatty (6'2") at an event with 5 foot something Alysa Milano and the top of her head seemed to come up to his eyebrows! But then on another site I saw more pictures of the same event and there the top of her head barely reached over his shoulders, which was the true height difference between them.
runt said on 3/Nov/08
Interesting, George H. Perspective is an amazing thing. here are two more shots from the same session that you showed and Beatty is closer to the camera in both shots and still looks shorter. And in one of them it appears Poitier is looking down. I think something strange is going on in this session.

Has definitely lost heigth. He needs a downgrade. Sydney Poitier is 81 and was listed at 6-2.5 and has obviously lost less height than Beatty.

Okay, with her permission I'm pasting part of the contents of an e-mail of my wife's friend Lilian to my wife regarding the after party of "The Women" premiere Sept.4, 2008. Here's what she wrote about her encounter with Warren Beatty and Annette Bening, and a few other celebs (the K is my wife's name):
.... we did finally find Warren and Annette's table! They weren't seated yet, but they were talking to Meg Ryan and a man we didn't recognize. K, he's HUGE! and he was standing out like a flagpost in his light suit, as did Annette in her bright red dress. They are both so tall! I was surprised to see the pictures the next day on Getty Images, Warren next to Will looking shorter. He wasn't shorter at the after party! But he tends to lean a lot, almost bends over backward or crooks his neck. Almost everybody was shorter than him. Warren at one point was still standing, talking to I think a guy from the production company. There was so much noise that he had to keep bending forward to let the little guy talk straight into his ear. I kept thinking Don't break your back, SIT DOWN! Mare and I went over just as they were about to leave, I think, and asked for their autographs. He was very friendly, so was Annette, and very smiley. They were in a great mood and looked very happy. These are the people we saw at the afterparty: Warren Beatty, Annette Bening, Debra Messing, Meg Ryan, Jada Pinkett Smith, Will Smith, Tara Reid, Candice Bergen, Daphne Zuniga, Debi Mazar and others I forget right now.

So much for her experiences of that night.
George H. said on 20/Aug/08
Absolutely without a doubt, and I've said this millions of times before, 6'2" for Beatty. Again, I'm a 6'1" man myself, and I had to slightly look up to meet his eyes, both times I saw him, but the first time I was closest to him, about a foot away in Toronto 2004. When the AFI gave him the lifetime achievement award, Dustin Hoffman also mentioned Beatty being 6'2" in a joke during his speech - about how they met and that he was so much taller than him. Fact. Period.
Viper: yeah, for some reason STallone always looked 7 ft. tall next to Glenn, too, but when you look at the rare pictures where Beatty and Stallone are in one shot (also at some AFI function) Beatty's easily half a head taller, and Stallone was wearing his usual monster lifts at that event. Crazy stuff.
Viper said on 20/Aug/08
He looked 5-11 with Glenn for some reason.

dmeyer says on 29/May/08
he strangely looks no more than 6 ft with glenn but can look 6 ft 2 to 6 ft 3 in pics lately

DMEYER, what do you mean 'looks 6.2 to 6.3 LATELY'? There are plenty of photos from as far
back as the sixties and seventies where he obviously looks that height already.
(Borrowing some links of photos that were posted earlier on this page: Click Here ,
Click Here , Click Here , Click Here) It's not
like he suddenly grew a few inches in middle age.
As far as the lift stories go, all I can say is that if that assumption is right and he's in
a picture with other guys who are confirmed liftwearers and he's still taller by several inches,
that it's at least a fact that he really is a tall(er) guy than most celebs.
I stick to what I saw: had an easy inch over my 6'1" both times that I saw him in person.
glenn said on 2/Jun/08
there was a crazy rumor going around that he was 6ft and wore lifts.yes,that true about the rumor.and thatat nick nolte is 5-11 and wore lifts too.

theres is no doubt that beatty is 6-2 or more.or at least was.but i dont understand how he can still look 6ft to me,even in the above pic people ignore.i had arms around beatty and jack in the above pic.jack walked out of picture when he reconized my friend as a known autoraph dealer.they are both gentleman.jack doesnt like to pose much though.

George H. said on 21/Nov/07
That would or could be true, but my wife has a book with his high school football measurements which then stated 6'2", 200 pounds, in bare feet. He was listed as one of 2 or 3 with that height, or over, I forgot. Looks like he did slim down as an adult, but he was a big, meaty kid back then. Besides I'm 6'1" in bare feet and when I saw him and had a brief exchange with him in 2004, when I got his autograph, I was in boots. Okay, they were quite worn, but following your logic I would have been maybe an inch taller than I am in bare feet, so 6'2". He was wearing normal shoes then, too, and I had to slightly look up at him. That means he's really 6'2" in bare feet, because he was taller than me in boots.
Ian said on 20/Nov/07
George H. I know in America people have a tendency to state their height including shoes. If he was 6ft2 in normal shoes then he would be 6ft 0.5-1 without shoes. Normal shoes are about 1.5inches in height some add 2 inches then there is your socks on top of that. Thick socks would add a little height. Bare feet he'd be 6ft.
glenn said on 20/Nov/07
jack nicholson was standing with us,and i had my arms around the 2 of them when jack reconized my friend and said " i know you",and walked out of the frame.man that sucked! imagine that pic.he reconized my friend as an autograph dealer i guess.now,he could care less.doesnt pose much though.these celebs are usually concerned when we make money off them.

Mr. Beatty appears to be caught between an attempted smile and jet lag. It's a good photo, nevertheless. If a tall person bends his or her knees or slouches in the slightest, two inches is easily shaven off. Mr. Beatty is not standing up straight. Glenn, what did Mr. Beatty say to you just before your photo request?
glenn said on 15/Nov/07
ian and gonzalo-i saw beatty early this year and he still looked the 6ft like others are seeing here,like in the pitt photo.im sure he is taller or was.but thats not how he can look.alot of the time.photogs and autograph dealers in new york all laughed when i said 6-2,6-3 for beatty.they agree with 6ft.the mans spine must be retractable.like kurt cobain and dmx who both give shorter impressions.
Gonzalo said on 14/Nov/07
This is such a weird pic. Beatty looks around 1`88 even nowadays but next to Glenn he looks no more than 1`80. Pics can be decieving but it is hard for me to explain why a person 15 cms shorter than Beatty can look only 7 cms shorter. I mean, Beatty doesn

Scroll down and see his pic with Warren Beatty and compare for instance to those taken with Ed MacMahon and the guy who played Hercules on TV, both known to be tall people. It looks like the guy who posed with all the celebs is around your height, Glenn: 5'8". There's also a pic of him with Los Angeles Mayor, Antonio Villaragosa, who's in this pic with Warren Beatty: Click Here

seems like no one agrees with Beatty being 6' 2", but in these pictures he does look 6' 2" often enough... guess he gotta be a lifty.. I tend to trust Glenn on these ones... This guy is a tough one though
Anthony said on 10/Apr/07
It's possible Beatty shrunk. He also slouches a lot. I doubt he's under 6'1 today.
George H. said on 10/Apr/07
Hey Glenn! Where did you see him? We saw the whole Beatty family in Las Vegas about 10 days ago. Cirque de Soleil, or however the hell it is spelled. With Annette and the kids. Tall family. Those kids look like our kids when they were growing up (well, our youngest still kinda looks like that), all arms and legs. I gotta disagree with you again, Glenn. The guy is taller than me and was wearing those flat suede shoes. No way could he hide a lift in those. Also, his height is mostly in that huge head of his (I really can't get over the size of that nuggin. Seems to get larger each time I see it on a photo or "live") and his legs. I studied him for the brief moments I could and really, his upper legs/thighs are longer than the part below the knees, so I doubt he's wearing lifts, cos if he does, he's got seriously deformed legs. This time the whole Beatty parade passed us at a distance of about 5 ft. and were gawked at by everybody. The oldest daughter was not amused. Both Beatty and Bening seemed a bit embarrassed. They were all dressed casually.

just talked to my friends about beatty.they all laughed at anything over 6ft.
glenn said on 4/Apr/07
i hate to open up a can of worms again,and actually im not getting further into it after this post,but i finally bumped into beatty again last night,and yeah,guess what,6ft again.maybe he has the eastwood problem.no pics.maybe ill try again tonight.paparrazi irritated him.he is a another rumored lift wearer.maybe its cause of his drastic change of height.of course tonight i can guarentee he will be 6-3 with my luck.

Hey Jackie, if you're still posting here, I think some of your comments and pictures got erased too. Would be great if you could post them again.
Brad said on 5/Mar/07
6' 2" & 5' 8" are 100% accurate. Annette wears the 4-5 inch heels with Clyde Barrow. Don't kid yourself, Ford is a tall guy and I'm sure she has stealth lifts in her scenes as well as huge heels in shots with Ford where it is a close-up.
Jackie said on 18/Feb/07
Using Annette Bening (5'8") and her husband Warren Beatty (6'2") to establish a possible definite on Harrison Ford's height.
The movie Regarding Henry is of 1991. The photos I used of Annette and Warren range from 1998 (1), 2005 (1) and 2006 (all others). Click Here

Don't know if this one was posted yet Click Here from the Globes.
Yesterday's SAG awards (my wife downloaded these) curious pictures where Beatty's about Will Smith's height, yet taller than Jamie Foxx (though not as much as you'd expect, but then Beatty slouches a lot). The weird thing is that Foxx and Smith are about the same height in some of the pictures. Is Foxx a lift wearer?

Found a clip in Spanish I think from Ishtar, haha. It's really a funny movie. Anyway, you can see the height difference between Beatty and Hoffman. It's also fun to see the difference in shoe size when they're filmed from the back, when they're hiding behind the car. I'd say Beatty's feet are about 1.5 times Hoffman's, haha. Click Here
Glenn said on 22/Jan/07
Jackie-wow,I had no clue you were that far.yep,photos and peoples bodies are decieving.classic example is rapper DMX,who is claimed to be and look 5-9, even to me,straighten out to 5-11 in my photos.and had no clue of it until I had it developed.I thought,great,everyone will think Im 5-6.luckily most noticed he looked near 6ft next to 6-3.5 Steven Seagal.mind boggling.
George H said on 22/Jan/07
Hi Jackie, yeah those photo sites suck. I prefer the ones who do post bigger pics but like you say with all their logos over them. Wireimage thumbnails are way small, can't hardly make them out in my old age haha.
The man has a seriously deceiving posture. I think I'll refer to it as at ease and up. In Toronto when he was standing at ease, so in a relaxed posture, he was about an inch taller than Irons. But when he stands up all the way, like the military stance, and stretches his neck, he can look about half a head taller. Totally weird. The guy is definitely his own species, haha.
Jackie said on 21/Jan/07
No, Glenn. Unfortunately it's been a long time since I was in the US. I now reside in Europe, The Netherlands to be exact. So that seriously diminishes my chances of coming across any interesting (US) celebs, unless they're visiting for a movie premiere or something. But then they'd have to be interesting enough for me to haul myself to that venue, LOL.

Thanks George, for the photos, even if they are thumbnails. Don't you just hate those sites like WireImage? I know I do. Other photo agencies are a bit more generous, they just stamp their logo all across the photos, lol. I've found two bigger ones without any logo:
Click Here Click Here

Of course the first one is more reliable, being a full length shot. In the second one Beatty is bending backwards and has his head down to read the award, while Hanks is standing straight as a rod with his head tilted up. But then we all know by now that if Warren can look the same height as Renee Zellweger (or Glenn for that matter - waving to Glenn) that photos are not always to be trusted.
dmeyer said on 19/Jan/07
in some hanks looks 1.25 shorter than betty and some 2 inches so hanks can look 183 to 185 he alwais looks that in pics within 2 cm he never apears 5'11 and never 6'2 so his footwear is normal like me i have a friends who is 6'2 sometimes i look 2.5 in shorter and sometimes 1.5 it is easy to play 1 inch with military posture wish hanks have
dmeyer said on 17/Jan/07
he looks 2 in taller than hanks easy for one time hanks dosnt loook over 183 cm
Glenn said on 16/Jan/07
George-yes,Paris is soft spoken but flashes her wares.I forgot about Elvis.what I meant was,is that I know you and I met Beatty cause thats an accurate discription.
Anthony said on 16/Jan/07
I agree that he did look only 6'1 at The Golden Globes, but in his prime he was definitely a solid 188-189. In all his films, he was pretty much solidly bigger than everyone else and looked massive next to small to average sized people. I'm surprised to see him look 6' max next to Glenn, proof that photos don't always give an accurate judge of height. I do remember he slouched a bit in photos I've seen of him with shorter people (Hoffman, for example). Thought he was really funny last night at The Golden Globes.
Viper said on 16/Jan/07
If hes lost any height, its no more than an inch.
AA said on 15/Jan/07
He seems 6'1" tops in Golden Globe Awards right now... I'msure he has lost some inches...
George H said on 15/Jan/07
Thanks, Glenn. I wouldn't call Paris HIlton shy, the way she shows off her you know what. Perhaps she just has a soft voice. Elvis wasn't an Aries, born Jan. 8th. That's quite a number of shy celebs, though.
What proves we met him, Glenn? I think I missed something :)
Glenn said on 12/Jan/07
That also prooves we met him George! so,Jackie,I take it you dont live near Malibu?
George H said on 11/Jan/07
Thanks Glenn and Jackie. I guess we saw it right, then, about him coming across as shy. Glenn, is that a thing that happens more often? That stars are shy? I know Elvis Presley is said to have been quite shy, too. Do you ever notice that with other stars, and if so, who were shy in your opinion?
George H said on 11/Jan/07
Well, my wife asked her friend if she remembered Beatty's height. Her memory is kinda unspecific, just that he was quite tall. The thing that she remembered most was that he had HUGE hands with very long fingers. Okay, I don't know if that's another variation on the theme that women like to say: if a guy has big ....... (hands, feet, nose, whatever) his ..... is equally big. The guy did have a reputation of being a womanizer when he was young, so who knows, haha.
Jackie said on 10/Jan/07
Hi George,

Funny that you should mention Warren coming across as shy! In my collection you can see an almost 50-50 devision (sp) between journalists either thinking of him as arrogant or as (extremely) shy!
With the internet giving us so much more access to a bigger variety in sources, I've found that the earlier harsher opinions on Beatty seem to have shifted to an impression of him really being more shy than arrogant. I do know he was on Larry King back in the early nineties, who referred to him as extremely shy and I think also Jay Leno (or perhaps another talkshow host) said the same.

Hi Glenn,

Beatty's main residence is in California, Malibu I believe. He lives there with his wife and kids and has his offices there. Of the people that I know who met him, two saw him in New York. One saw him in the early eighties when he was still dating Diane Keaton. She went to a night store to get some groceries and found a big hubbub of people there. They turned out to be papparazi following Keaton and Beatty who were shopping for groceries in that tiny little shop!!! She says she remembers them looking rather unkemped and - yes- tall! LOL (But she's only 5 ft. herself, so almost everybody looks tall to her).
Another stood in an elevator with him, also in the 1980's. She is 5'3" and as far as she could remember his shoulders were about her eye level, but she can't remember what kind of shoes she was wearing.
My cousin, about my height, encountered him a few years back in LA. She stood in a pizza/deli place and didn't notice him until she heard his distinct voice ordering pizza, right next to her. He had one or two of his kids with him and she was amazed he just walked around "in the wild" being a real dad with his kids. She only mentioned he wore jeans and sneakers and still refers to him as a "big guy", though not "big" as in "fat". I don't think she was able to notice anything else because she was so exited and she's about as much a fan as I am! :)
Glenn said on 9/Jan/07
Geez,I finally saw your Penn/Beatty pic.Penn looks 5-6 there.I was talking to Penn 3 weeks ago and I was surprised to see he looked 5-7,not the 5-8 I remembered.yes,Beatty was shy,but very,very sweet the many times I met him between 1990-1994.never saw him again.I heard of this mythic apartment he has or had here,yet nobody sees him.in fact,I think he still resides there, as I just remembered I was there outside, 3 years ago! duh.where else does he live?
George H said on 8/Jan/07
Glenn, did he come across as a bit shy to you? My wife and I and our friends got that impression when we saw him. I mean, he was doing the red carpet thing and everything. He was interacting with people and talking, gesturing and smiling. But he gave us the idea that he was shy. My wife swears she saw him blush a few times as he went down the line of people asking for autographs. I couldn't see that, cos by then I'd moved back. A new friend, that my wife met on a forum, bumped into him in the 1980's in LA. She also said he seemed shy, because he apologized profusely to her and blushed when he helped her pick up her stuff. She didn't mention his height, that I know of. Have to tell my wife to ask her if she remembers, haha.
Glenn said on 8/Jan/07
Jackie-he is a bit reclusive.I dont hear of too many sightings.where did your friends meet him? west coast or east?
Jackie said on 7/Jan/07
Hi George,
Thank you. Best wishes for you and your wife (the one with excellent taste in movie stars heehee) too. Good to see you back.

Hi Glen,
No, I personally have not been so lucky (yet) to meet Mr. Beatty, but I do know some people with first hand accounts. Since they're all around my height and shorter (I'm 5'5") they were quite impressed and surprised by his size/height.
Glenn said on 31/Dec/06
Thank you too Jackie.interesting pics.the man clearly hunched with me being short I guess.I think I met Mikeal,and I think he was 5-8.Beatty is rarely in the city.yet,he lives here.speak to you soon. oh,dumb question,did you ever meet Beatty?
Jackie said on 31/Dec/06
Hi Glenn,

Happy New Year to you, too. Thanks for your wishes. Only the best for you, too. Hopefully you'll be able to bump into Mr. Beatty again, one of these days, who knows?
I tried to blow up several of these thumbnails, some worked, but some were just too tiny.
Anyway, Renee Zellweger differed about as much with Beatty as 5'1" Natalie Wood (though wearing high heels in this one) did in this picture: Click Here

Warren Beatty in 2004 with Mikael Barishnikov (sp) the ballet dancer (don't know his height. Might be around 5'6"). You can see how Beatty often slouches when near shorter people.

I found another version of the Katzenberg/Beatty photo I posted earlier. This one isn't cropped and there is a third (unknown to me) person in it. At least, I THINK it's the same photo, may be taken a second later or earlier. Sorry for the quality, it was a tiny thumbnail that I enlarged. First the one I posted before, next the uncropped one.

Glenn said on 25/Dec/06
As I said in another post yesterday,people always ignore my photo proof.thanks for backing me that Beatty,even if he is 6-2,can look shorter.

This is with Disney's Jeffrey Katzenberg (I think he's still with Disney, right?). I had no idea he was that short. They really are both standing on the same level! But I found another picture of them together where you can see, even though Warren is sitting and Jeffrey is standing, that the size difference between the two is quite big! (picture 2)

Jackie: wow, his inseam is over 2" longer than mine. Maybe my head is even longer than his hahahaha. Thanks on behalf of my wife. You take about as much stuff with you as she does, and she also tends to forget the most important things (camera). Never mind. Great items. Hold on to those. William Daniels was Kitt's voice? Wow.
Jackie said on 22/Oct/06
Hi George,

I had to drop my S.O. off at the airport, so on my way back I could visit our storage. It took me a while to find the clothes in there, had to move some of our stuff, but I finally succeeded.
I wrote it down because of course I forgot to take my cell phone with camera with me (can you imagine? I took some sandwiches, something to drink, my tape measure, a pen, my cell phone but that turned out to be my MP3 player!). Anyway, the shirt is, if I deciphered it correctly 42LL and the pants were just L. Only the pants had a clear note in it with the date (June 1973, I always thought The Parallax View was filmed in 1974), his name and I suspect a scene number or something like that. The shirt only had his name in it and the size label. I did measure the inseam of the pants and they were almost 36", between 35.5 and 36.
I hope your wife can calm down now :)
Oh and William Daniels played in The Parallax View with him and also in Reds. But I guess he was best known for his parts as the voice of Hasselhoff's car in Knightrider and for playing that nasty doctor in St. Elsewhere. Does that ring a bell?
Brad said on 12/Oct/06
The 5' 10" Cindy by Beatty ices it fer me: he's 6' 2" legit.
George H said on 11/Oct/06
Jackie: more good photo material :) But who is William Danials? Did you get to read the labels on Beatty's clothes yet? I'm curious, but my wife is close to exploding rofl. You envy us for meeting him. She envies you for having wardrobe he physically wore!

Hi George,

Yes, they came with sort of notes of authenticity as far as there being labels in them or on them with his name and the date they were used. I believe the name of the movie were on them too. I'll have to check, also for the size, because we don't have them at the house but in storage.
I'll see when I have time to go there and get back to you, LOL.
George H said on 28/Sep/06
Jackie, thank you:) And good for you on not spending too much on your collection. I mean, a hobby is great, as long as it don't put you in the poor house (yes my wife is reading over my shoulder as I type, hint hint rofl).
Those are great pieces, though. IF you'd ever put them on e-bay you could make a fortune, though not from my wife if I have a say in it! Is there a proof of authenticity? Is there a size label in it? Great stuff.
Jackie said on 28/Sep/06
Hi George,

Great posts you made, all of them. And you're right of course. I have one of the pairs of jeans and a white shirt he wore in The Parallax View that a crew member got (I don't know if it was obtained legally, LOL). I'm very fortunate to have gotten them, for nothing, through a chain of coincidences that connected several people around me to that person, about five years ago.
I found an article of 1978 online:
Click Here

I don't spend much money on my collection at all, certainly not compared to fans of artists like, say, Elvis who truly spend a fortune, annually to try and obtain everything of their favorite star. The most expensive pieces of my collection are the books, and most of those I got through E-bay, so really cheap, LOL. I guess I'm lucky he doesn't have many fans!
Viper652 said on 27/Sep/06
George, I think Beatty was 6-1 at his peak and is now 6-0.
Gotxo said on 27/Sep/06
George:
As i said Hackman next to a young Ford looked not more than 188cm, i still think he can be marginally taller like a 189 but no more.
Be realistick, my photo is a promo pic of the film and Beatty is not slouching at all, instead of that Hackman is really a bit sided to reach comfortably the much lower Estelle Parson's shoulder.

To End with Hackman he dind't look 6'3" compared to a 6'4" Crhistopher Reeve, so the range for him is 6'2"-6'2.5" and he's still more than 1cm taller than Beatty.

As Frank2 said he's allready tall at 6'1"
Mario said on 27/Sep/06
I tottaly agree with George H. It's damm obvious that he was at least 6 ft 2 when he was young.
George H said on 27/Sep/06
Jackie: I guess not. Well, we know what we saw. We've been surfing the web to find any press photos of that day where perhaps we can discover ourselves in the
crowd, preferably with Beatty and Annette in the shot, but so far no luck.
So, the man has no fanclub? I'll tell my wife. Maybe you and her should get together and start one, haha, I'll be an honorary member, haha. Sounds like quite the collection you've got there. What are these "original pieces" you mentioned? Must have cost a bundle! My wife has old scrapbooks, a few videos that she's now replacing with DVD's and a few books on him. She got a big kick out of the fact that he was so nice and humble, contrary to what those old magazine articles in her scrapbooks said of him. :) I think he was a hoot in Bulworth (my wife's latest buy) and Halle Berry was (and is) HOT! Not many guys his age are as lucky to be playing with all those beauties! :)

George H said on 27/Sep/06
Gotxo: Take a good look at that picture.
Look at Beatty's and Hackman's shoulders. Look at their legs, how Hackman's are
straight and Beatty is standing in a slouch, leaning on his left leg, with his
right knee bent. You go stand in front of a mirror and alternate your body
posture between that of Hackman and of Beatty respectively in this pic.
There's easily an inch difference when you change position between Beatty's pose and Hackman's pose.
Look at how Beatty's neck and head are bending down and how Hackman is looking straight, head up.
Then look at the ground. The angle is such that Beatty seems to be standing
slightly lower than Hackman. Compare to where Estelle Parson's head comes up to
both Hackman and beatty's chins, taking into consideration that Beatty is
looking down and Hackman is looking straight forward.
I'm not saying that Hackman isn't 6'2".
I'm saying that Beatty is definitely 6'2".
I can't comment on Hackman, other than that in the movie Bonnie & Clyde, so not
in this promotion photo, he is exactly Beatty's height during most of the movie.
As far as your assumption that it's weird how I speak of Beatty's height,
because he's only one inch taller than me.
REad back my posts, if you will. The reason why his height, AND the fact that
he is taller than me surprised me, is that I never knew he was tall, period.
I thought of him somewhere in the Redford or Newman range. Don't ask me why,
I just had that image of him.
Since we met him face to face, my wife has ordered many of his movies on DVD and it turns out he's easily the tallest man in most of his movies.
Also, and that's why I asked your height and if you'd met him, in my line of
work it's proven that the closer a person is to somebody in height, the closer their estimate of that other person's height is. I.e., a 5'5" will under or over guess a 6'0" person's height more than a 5'10" person. I'm certain at my 6'1", also taking into consideration the footwear we were wearing when I met
him, that Beatty easily was 6'2".
Jackie said on 27/Sep/06
Hi George,

Never mind. You're not going to change people's opinions, even if they're wrong. Apparently your personal encounter with Beatty or the photo material I provided (or you, thanks for pointing me to that site by the way) don't count, because we attach the "wrong" height to them.
I don't know of any Beatty fanclub. I got most of my personal collection through E-bay and some original pieces through a few chance encounters with people who either worked with him or knew him in some other capacity. All of them say he's 6'2", or referred to him as tall or big. I also got a lot of the internet stuff from the site you pluck a lot of your pictures from as well :)
Viper652 said on 26/Sep/06
Honestly, Beatty has always looked no more than 6-0 to me. At least in my lifetime.
Gotxo said on 26/Sep/06
George:
You could say that i might be wrong but my argument really makes sense wether you like it or not.
Also two other persons of this forum have met him and reported other height and i think of them as witted and aware of their senses too.
You talk as 6'2" as quite tall, but that's an inch over your height, i do not consider people a single " over mine so tall as you do.
You still avoid to comment in my photho, wich wether is small shows Hackman and Beatty both in a level ground and in a full body shot, two conditions that most photos of jackie doesn't fulfill.
That's denying a big evidence, plus if in your opinion hackman is not over 6'2" then an clearly smaller Beatty can't be that height.
George H said on 26/Sep/06
Jackie: you really did find a great one again. Freeman is another guy I didn't figure to be as tall as he is. One more great example. My wife is slowly coming to the realization that Beatty's head is kinda, how to put it politely, grand haha. She wants me to ask you if you know there's a Beatty fanclub somewhere.
Jackie said on 25/Sep/06
Hi George,

You're welcome. I've been surfing the web again and came up with another great find! Warren with Morgan Freeman, another one of my favorite actors. And I must admit, Warren's head does look rather massive in these, so maybe you should not show the photos to your wife, LOL.

Click Here
Gotxo said on 25/Sep/06
George.
My only doubt is about Hackman's height, in most of scenes of B&C he and Beatty are same height mostly due to camera angles.
I think that in the pic i posted both men are full-body shot, the ground is even and still that Hackman is bowing a bit, a Beatty with a hat on his head is still smaller. So Beatty has two advantages Hacknman lacks and still is some cm smaller.
With so a blatant prove i can't wonder how you still mantain both are same height.
So for my part Hackman is doubtless taller, wich his height is?
Well he normally looks taller than his official 6'2", but again, i rewatched yesterday "The conversation" and a young Ford (slightly over 6') is not more than 1.5" or 2" smaller.
So yeah! I could give Gene an extra 0.5", not much more.
Even though, that makes a shy of 6'2" Beatty not a full one.

Conclusion, if Hackman isn't over 6'2" Beatty is not 6'2".
I think you're an honest man, but you could be wrong too.
So i'm a bit exceptical on your report, not by your sincerity.
George H said on 25/Sep/06
Gotxo: No, you don't need to meet him to comment him. But it would help. The reason why I asked is because you said you could ADMIT Hackman's height could be higher than 6'2". That's what I find a very weak type of reasoning for somebody who has not met, stood next to or at least has been close enough physically to give an estimate, or a guess even, based on real life size.
At least Glenn has said in his more recent answers to Jackie about the stars (in this case Beatty) in his pictures: "photos can be tricky due to posture,footwear,street levels,hidden lifts and weird angles."
So, from his eyewitness point of view, at least there's some room for correction.
I can't comment on Hackman's height from personal experience. BUT: I CAN comment on Beatty's height from personal experience and can testify that for sure, he cannot be 6'1", because that's MY height, and he was taller in flat, liftless, shoes, than me in worn down boots. I had to look up from 6'1", making me estimate him from a foot distance at 6'2". From that eyewitness estimate, I can understand that to those who wish to believe, or claim from THEIR personal meeting with Hackman, that Hackman could be slightly taller than Beatty. However, I do NOT get that from the movie Bonnie & Clyde, in which Beatty and Hackman are the same height in roughly 85% of the scenes they share and the rest of the percentage is equally divided between Beatty being slightly taller or Hackman being slightly taller, on level ground (though the bankrobbery scene may have level ground, but is shot from a lower, skewed, angle).
Conclusion: I KNOW Beatty is not my height, that he is easily taller than that. I am certain he is 6'2", based on that personal, close-up, meeting. I can understand that there are many people out there who for some reason can't or won't believe Beatty's that tall, or that he could be Hackman's height. I can't make a statement on Hackman's height, not having met him personally, but I can say that based on Bonnie & Clyde, Hackman and Beatty differ close to nothing in height.
Gotxo said on 25/Sep/06
George
Do i need to meet Beatty to comment on him?
Is this forum going to discriminate the ones who have meet a famous and the ones who doesn't?

Well, you have meet Beatty and reported a height, also have done Glenn and Frank2 and they reported 6' & 6'1", so yours is a sightment more to the list.

You mantain that in every scene of Bonnie and Clyde Hackman and Beatty are same height.
I've proved otherwise bringing a photo of both men in a level ground in which a
hat-on Beatty is smaller than a hat-less Hackman.
If they where same height Beatty should be taller if he's sporting a hat whilst a supposed same height man (Hackman) does not.

Yesterday i rewatched Coppola's "the conversation", in it Hacmkan doesn't appear to be more than a flat 6'2" compared to a 184cm (then) Harrison Ford.

Jackie: again, those are interesting and telling pictures. Makes me seriously wonder about Redford's height. Did you notice he seems to have a rather large head, too? :) Or maybe it's just the hair, I don't know. What was the title of that movie again? Wasn't he a spy or something? And Penn looks young enough to pass for Beatty's son! Great stuff.
George H said on 25/Sep/06
Gotxo: When did you meet Beatty again? I forgot. And what is your own height?
I KNOW he was taller than me and I AM - like I said an annoying number of times before rofl - a legit 6'1". I never met Hackman, but I've got eyes, and in most scenes in Bonnie & Clyde they're the same height and sometimes Beatty has the advantage on LEVEL ground, and Hackman on the slope outside.

Jackie said on 18/Sep/06
Robert Redford's height through Faye Dunaway (5'7") and Warren Beatty's (6'2") heights.

Warren Beatty with an extremely young looking Sean Penn, an interesting photo I found on the internet. Juicy tidbit: Penn was married to Madonna until 1990. Beatty dated Madonna since 1990. Both men are still good friends! It also looks, when comparing Penn of this picture to Penn's recent pictures, that his nose is the only part of his anatomy that seems to have
grown considerably! :)

You're too kind, George, thank you :) I didn't know about the car in Bonnie&Clyde either until I made those screengrabs. It was nice added proof. A friend of mine in the US lived next to one
of Beatty's football teammates several years back. The man told him Beatty and he
were the same size, 6'2", which in their generation was a good size for a football player, but
these days is on the small side. He'd showed my friend several team photos, but wouldn't allow
my friend to scan them for me because, as the man said, he "respected Beatty's privacy".....
Of course that was a very decent thing for him to do, but I sure would have LOVED to have gotten scans of those photos.
George H said on 18/Sep/06
dmeyer: you're right. As a matter of fact, Beatty wasn't only 6'2" in his prime, he still is that height, trust me. I've met him and I'm a legit 6'1" (am
measured regularly for my check-ups for my job) and I had to look up at him when he was wearing normal, liftless, shoes. Big, nice, guy.
George H said on 18/Sep/06
Jackie: again my compliments for excellent photo proof. I've watched Bonnie & Clyde again over the weekend. I hadn't even noticed the slope is so big that the car rolls back, you're absolutely right! It's also clear to see that Hackman looks up to Beatty in the scene where they have their serious talk. That has nothing to do with any camera angle, that has everything to do with Hackman's neck and head looking UP at Beatty.
There's only one scene where Hackman actually looks bigger, and that's when they rob a bank, but they're several feet apart from each other and the camera angle there is a bit off.
Thanks again.
Gotxo said on 17/Sep/06
dmeyer:
He might be over 6'1" but definatly not a full 6'2", look at the last link i posted. In that bunch shot Hackman is noticeable taller than Beatty in spite the late is wearing a hat. That film was shot in 1967, when Beatty was 30 (exactly), so doubtfully could have he shrunk as early as that.
dmeyer said on 17/Sep/06
waren realy looks 188 at peak

i think warren,hackman looks 188 only with shoe lift.. they truely looks 185ish barefoot guy..
Gotxo said on 16/Sep/06
I still see a Beatty smaller than Hackman, specially in that set of the trees.
When they are strugglin in front of a car, in spite of the ground slant Gene's bigger.
We are forgeting that the close shots normally are "edited" so the height diff are anulated, it's very easy to achive that with simple camera angles as Frank2 has said a lot of times, hope his words didn't passed inadverted.

Please exlpain this:

Both 6'2" Hackman and Beatty?
Well i can belive Hackman be nearer to 6'3" than 6'2", but i still don't see a full 6'2" Beatty even if that's true.

Jackie:
It's EASY to understand what you're saying, you proposed a height for Beatty and
explained why you thought it and that's cool. The problem is that in the seek of
that goal you also downgraded other one's opinions (Glenn's) and the readers one's (in your claim for the readers to use logic).
You can't throw a stone and pretend to hide the hand because you hurtled it elegantly.
Jackie said on 16/Sep/06
Hi Kene,

LOL, I think Dustin may have been wearing lifts, because Warren still is close to as tall as he's ever been at 6'2". He never passed the 6'2.5" mark. I've included a few photo collages of him and Dustin elsewhere on the page, where you can see the huge height difference between them. It was still there just a few years back, although Warren often slouches a lot when he's posing with (much) shorter people as you can see in this pic taken at the 2002 Bafta Awards. Warren is leaning in for
this photograph with good pal Dustin (around 5'6"), Dame Judy Dench (around 5'1", wearing modest heels), wife Annette Bening (5'8", wearing modest heels) and Kevin Spacey (around 5'10") :)

Hi George,

Thank God, SOMEBODY understood right away what I was saying! Sheesh. I used to work in the judiciary field in the past, but that's about 10 years ago now :)
I can't begin to tell you how much I envy you for your encounter with Beatty, even if he looked old and, as you put it "has a huge head" LOL. (I have to admit I've noticed that, too). And I agree with your wife that I would love to have been able to meet him in his prime, but then I was still only in elementary school :) It's wonderful to read your account of how friendly he was, he always comes across as a modest and genuinely nice person in all interviews I've seen and taped of him. Take care and thanks for sharing your story!

Hi Stephen,

No, you're incorrect. Gene Hackman looked clearly an inch taller in the outside scene where he's standing on the sloping side of
the grounds and Beatty on the lower end. I've included a link to
a collage of various scenes of them together.
Inside it's Beatty who seems to have a small height advantage

Stephen said on 15/Sep/06
Beatty was right at 6'1". Gene Hackman looked clearly an inch taller than him in "Bonnie and Clyde".
Brad said on 13/Sep/06
I've never met him. I dated a singer he dated later on in '82. Went to a dump called Chase Club in NYC to see Duran Duran. For somebody around 70 he sure wants to get that gun out and mow down The Mole.
George H said on 13/Sep/06
Wow, a guy goes for a vacation to come back to this! :)
Jackie, I totally get you. Excellent points and well articulated and perfect picture proof material. You don't happen to work in law enforcement, do you? haha. The stuff you submitted could win a case. You're right. It's weird how the 8 inches (or 9 depending if you put Hoffman at 5'6" or 5'5") between Beatty and Hoffman don't add up in the pictures of them individually with 5'8" Glenn.
Glenn, like Jackie, this is NOT a personal attack on you, just an observation.
Hoffman would be either 2 or 3 inches shorter than Glenn. Beatty would be 6 inches taller than Glenn. Yet in his pics, Glenn looks about 1 inch - maybe 2 taller than Hoffman and only one or two shorter than Beatty. Where are the missing inches??? I've never seen Beatty look that short in any pics, and he certainly didn't look that short when I saw him, in liftless, low cut, flat shoes.
Judging from the photo at the top of this page, I think that's about as much as I differed with him in September 2004, and I'm 6'1" in bare feet. I still regret we weren't allowed to take pictures. Get this: if we'd stood a bit further away from the press photographers, we COULD have taken photos. But where we were standing, only professionals were allowed to shoot their cameras, go figure! :( (My wife is still very annoyed about that, people 10 feet down the line were shooting their cameras like crazy).
So, Jackie, kudos to you for your excellent observations and photos in you posts.
Brad: you got me confused. Your earlier post had me thinking you'd already met Beatty, yet in your last posts I get the feeling he's still on your list of celebs you wish to meet?
Brad said on 10/Sep/06
I wanna meet Beatty. I wanna meet Hoffman again, been decades. He needs to do another play. I hope Beatty does Dick Tracy 2. I wanna see him fire that gun again wearing that funky raincoat. He's the man with the plan. Beatty rocks.
Gotxo said on 10/Sep/06
Brad-
Yeah and my father is a cop and arrest yours, bah!
Maybe some day you'll be someone by yourself and by meeting a famous you don't get nothing of his grandeur.
Brad said on 6/Sep/06
Chase Club '82 NYC. Hey man,my father was V.P. of Playbill Magazine. I met plenty since '57 and Monroe at age a day or two. Glenn meets a lot to get signatures and make some coin. Beatty is 6' 2".
Gotxo said on 2/Sep/06
Jackie-
We can return to Beatty's height anytime you like.
On that if he's 6'2" (wich i can belive it), the Hackman might be at least half an inch taller than that. Or maybe beaty is shy of 188cm (186-187).

On the other question i only reposted your words without changing a single comma, there's no analisys at all.
I't seems that you've done the same as your last post is a copy of the previous,
identical error on my nick included, if you don't like your own result mind what you write.
Jackie said on 1/Sep/06
Gotxco,

For the last time: I don't know how much more armchair psychology and analyses about me you think you need to fill this page with. It doesn't change the fact that your opinion about me is TOTALLY WRONG.
Gotxo said on 31/Aug/06
Jackie
My interpretative skills are OK, don't worry.
Fortunately here's no door & anyone can enter here and express his/her opinion.
As much as for height comments (A 6'2" Beatty? Quite possible, i had him an inch less, now i'm considering i was wrong) as for Meta-comments or comments on other comments. Which has a big deal on this site success.
I did the late but not using psichology at all, but a basic knowledge of words.
Your post are crammed with words as "science,"expertise" ,"doctored","law")
is you the attracted one for the academical world an the one who assings it power.
Your language is full of courtesy forms ("You're welcome",civilized ,Excuse me? ) wich do not fit well with the message lying in the bottom:
"I am beginning to wonder if Glenn's personal preference for certain celebs is coloring his opinion on their heights"
Wow, that's not polite! It's to question someone's integrity/sincerity!
Well, Glenn is not perfect, but don't deserve that.

You're fond of absolute concepts as "show the truth,and big numbers "tons of others ", "Too many photos","many pictures", bigger numbers doesn't imply more reason.
Quoting you "request to him and to others to use their logic and see that simply because someone contributes many pictures of "me and celeb x" doesn't make his word law"
Well i think i've showe the use of logic in my opinions here and in other posts,
i might be wrong,but my conclusions are based on it. And i don't take Glenn's word as law but as a valuable point of view, others exist too.
Jackie said on 31/Aug/06
Gotxco,

I only have one thing to say to you: your interpretive reading skills could use improvement. You are assuming things about me and my messages to Glenn, that are wrong in every possible way. Please leave your armchair psychology and analyses of me and my messages to Glenn at the door. You really could not be more wrong about me, my intentions and my opinion about Glenn than you have stated
Glenn said on 31/Aug/06
Again your support means everything to me Gotxo.thank you.
Gotxo said on 30/Aug/06
Jackie-
Quite simple, Glenn's photos look odd simply because he's the protagonist in them, not the star. Their goal is proving an encounter with a famous one.
So he must be as recognizable as the star, both faces must receive proper light, be near of each other & centered in the frame, whatever their heights are.
Thus in many ocassions, if the guy's a tall one looks only 3" taller than Glenn or 2" smaller (mostly for women). It's common sense, had it been the reality depicted as result Glenn should pension off his photographer mate.
(Glenn+Manute Bol belt or Glenn+Devito calp...Got it? )

Things can be said at many levels, one of them is the subconscious.
You've expressed what i said, you diminished Glenn's authority in the matter doing so with the quality of his pics.
Under the apparent kindness of your post lies enmity disguised as politenes.
Now you've posted a set of photos of Isthar, wich you think will pove your intellectual superiority on Glenn and wait for a reply you think is not possible or implies resignation to your ideas (Nasty).
Nope i don't excuse you, & i don't need invitation, Glenn is a "De facto" star here and i comment on him.
Glenn said on 30/Aug/06
Thanks Gotxo.you meant well.
Glenn said on 30/Aug/06
I meant maybe you would next think my photos were faked Jackie.clearly that isnt your opinion.I might be off an inch with alot of names,and maybe a few with Beatty.but I am the law when it comes to Sly and Colin.at least as close youd get with Sly.any other names feel free to debate and tell me Im wrong.cause unlike others that wont admit it,I might be mistaken.however,many will agree my pics and insight are beneficial to the site.your perception of photos I may not agree on.so far,I dont see the same exact veiwings you see.I get your point,and it makes sense to a degree,but comparing me with Hoffman and Beatty and seeing similiar heights is silly to me with all due respect.perception is one factor I left out last post.feel free to continue intelligent banter.if others were of the same ilk,there would be no hostility.and no worries,I always believe in class with a woman.rarely do I get hostile with a Lady.thank you for your time.
Jackie said on 30/Aug/06
Hi Gotxo,

? Excuse me? I did NOT suggest AT ALL that Glenn's photos are fake. Where the heck did you get that from? I only asked him if he didn't find it odd that in all his pics with Beatty/Hoffman etc. respectively they all seemed to differ the same amount with Glenn. That's something totally different. You, on the other hand, are suggesting that I am questioning Glenn as a source, which is not the case. I only wonder what HE thinks about those celebs who are proven to be of complete different sizes, looking about the same size in pics with him. Glenn knows I'm not "flaming" him, and I think he's man enough to be able to stand up for himself whenever he is being flamed. Since that is NOT the case here, I think it's better when Glenn answers for himself, which he didn't seem to mind before.
Cheerio.
Jackie said on 30/Aug/06
Hi Glenn,

You're welcome. We're all supposedly civilized adults, so I see no need to be nasty to people that happen to hold different opinions. :)
You do say something that confuses me again, though, Glenn. Whose photos are fake? Yours? Or all the others from media to candids? I can assure you, again I can only speak about Beatty because of my collection on him, that all my photos are real i.e. not doctored. Or do you believe that all press/magazine photographers first doctor their candids before selling them, and then especially regarding heights of in this case Beatty?
The stills with Hoffman are from their movie "Ishtar". If you look closely at the stills from the singing scene, you can see that Beatty is wearing low cut, lift-less (thus normal) shoes. Throughout the entire movie, he always wears low cut, flat, lift-less shoes, be it the ones in this scene, or the sneakers in most other scenes. In the singing scene, Hoffman (in cowboy boots) completely disappears out of sight, when he walks behind Beatty. No doctoring of my pictures. If you don't believe it, rent the movie. None of the other magazine pictures nor the pictures from Getty Pictures are doctored either. So, what pictures that you are talking about are supposed to be fake?
PS. I am not reading too much into photos, just as much as you, I guess. And no, it is not exact science. But why should your adamant opinions be worth more than those of people who may not agree with you, or even those who have not have posed with (multiple) celebs? I'm curious about your reply, Glenn. :)

Glenn said on 30/Aug/06
Jackie-your reading too much into the photos.photos can be tricky due to posture,footwear,street levels,hidden lifts and weird angles.maybe Beatty was hunched in some way.I always stand as straight as possible.next I need you to say is the photos are faked.photos arnt always accurate to gauge.relax and enjoy the photos for what its worth.its a conversation piece,not an accurate science.thank you for your interest and insight.all veiws are important to the site.at least you stated your opinion with class.
Jackie said on 29/Aug/06
Hi Glenn,
I didn't STATE you and Stallone were friends or something. I was wondering if you had a personal preference/liking for him that might color your perception of his height. In any way, after studying my photo collages, or simply studying your own pictures of yourself with Beatty, Hoffman, Nicholson, Keaton, Altman, Stiller respectively, don't you find it odd that a legitimately tall man like Beatty looks to differ about as much with you in height as legitimately short men like Stiller and Hoffman, and legitimately average height people like Nicholson and Diane Keaton? Surely you must notice it yourself in your photos as compared to ALL OTHER photos taken by a variety of media, be it print, TV, movies whatever...... That's what I was wondering.
Glenn said on 28/Aug/06
Jackie-Your wrong about Sly.the pic on left was a fight actually.and your right,my word isnt law.but I speak the truth.
Jackie said on 27/Aug/06
Lately there have been many posts about Sylvester Stallone's height. I have never met any American celebrity up close, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know Stallone is of average height. Too many people who have worked with him have commented on that. Too many photos and movies have proven that. Now, in reference to my fave Warren Beatty in Glenn's pic with him, as compared to Glenn's pictures with Sylvester Stallone, Dustin Hoffman and Jack Nicholson, surely the debate about especially Stallone's and Beatty's height should not be so difficult! Especially when comparing Beatty in photos with tons of others whose heights have more or less been established even by Glenn's "expertise" on the subject!!!!
I am beginning to wonder if Glenn's personal preference for certain celebs is coloring his opinion on their heights. Apparently he's met Stallone several times, apparently Stallone has been nice to him.... I'm beginning to think that gives Stallone a few extra inches from Glenn.
Fact is, that if Stallone and Beatty would be standing side by side, in bare feet, Stallone would probably differ as much with Beatty as the latter's wife does. Beatty IS a legit 6'2" and Stallone is (and I'm being generous here) 5'10" both in bare feet.
Just think about it, Rob. Glenn differs as much with Beatty as with Hoffman and Nicholson in his photos taken with them. Yet in REAL LIFE, Beatty is about a full head and a little over half a head TALLER than them respectively!
Photo proof below. I sincerely hope you will post my response and link my photos, which is not a personal attack on Glenn, but simply a request to him and to others to use their logic and see that simply because someone contributes many pictures of "me and celeb x" doesn't make his word law, especially not when there's too much real photo and movie proof to show the truth. Thank you. I am only using Beatty as an example, because I have a collection of him, and not of others, so he is easiest to come up with proof about :)

Thanx for the link.
George H said on 7/Aug/06
Hey Gotxo, that's okay. For a minute I was feeling a bit left out, haha. I mean, this is the ONE celebrity I didn't just see, but actually exchanged some words with. He left an impression on me for more than one reason. We really weren't going to the Festival in the first place, so that was kind of a surprise from our hosts. Then we didn't expect to see him so prominently with his wife on the red carpet. When I saw him I was immediately baffled by his size, because from the few movies I'd seen of his in the past, I couldn't recall him being so big. Then when they started signing some autographs on their way in, my wife got Annette's first, then me and since he was standing there by her side I offered my program to him and got quite close, which is when he asked if I knew that he wasn't in the movie, that he was just there as his wife's date, which struck me as very humble and funny. So I got his autograph, a thank you, a nod and a big smile from him. So, yeah, it turned out to be quite the event for me (kind of sad when you think about it, haha) and his size really took me by surprise. I've seen some other celebs from a distance at functions etc. but Beatty is the only one I actually saw eye to eye and have spoken with, so all details are etched in my memory rofl. Anyway, here's stills from Bonnie&Clyde from my wife's favorite website Click Here
I didn't spot any clear outside shots, but it's clear Hackman has the advantage of a slope there. I've checked their shoes, and their both in simple, flat shoes.
Glenn said on 3/Aug/06
Im convinced 90% on what you say George.I couldve sworn everytime I saw him he was a hair over 6ft.
Gotxo said on 3/Aug/06
George H:
Sorry man, offence, of course you met him and your testimony counts too.
But till now most people give who had met him, gives the man and inch less,
maybe that's another Brett alike case, dunno what to say.
I would slant down the balnace favoring the 6'1" theory since to me, Hackman still looks taller. I know i could be wrong though, you always can post here some link to a shared scene of Bonnie & Clide.
George H said on 3/Aug/06
Gotxo: so what am I? Chopped liver? I met Beatty, too. I had a brief, but nice little talk with him and he gave me his autograph. I AM a real 6'1" and he was bigger than me in flat, liftless, shoes. He was exactly Hackman's height in Bonnie & Clyde. I've recently rewatched that movie on DVD and stopped the picture when they're next to each other. Outside, Hackman is standing on a slope. As soon as he stands next to Beatty, they're the same size. Inside, Beatty even looks a bit taller because Hackman is looking slightly up to him, kinda like I was when I spoke with Beatty. Both, however, are known "slouchers".
Coming from a guy who works in the justice field I know it's only hearsay :) but I found out yesterday that an old neighbor of ours was at the same opening night in Toronto in 2004 (we didn't see her there). She's a big Beatty fan, like my wife, and had also never seen Beatty in the flesh, but commented that she was shocked to see a) how old Beatty looked in person, b) how huge (her words) he was and c) how scary Jeremy Irons looked in person :)
Gotxo said on 2/Aug/06
Both Frank and Glenn give him 6'1" or in the neighborhood.
Both have met him, plus he looked shorter than Gene Hackman in that gangsta film.
George H said on 2/Aug/06
LOL, fair enough. Just as much as I'm convinced, after seeing him bigger than myself in liftless, flat shoes, and towering over countless of men bigger than you, that he is what he is. A genuine 6'2". The 5'11" rumor I think is just that, a rumor. You shouldn't just look at the height, but at the length of especially the arms and size of his hands and feet. And I keep coming back to that huge head of his. He is lucky he was good looking in his younger years, because with a head that big, you'd better be! :) (My wife is gonna beat me up for saying that haha).

Elio said on 10/Apr/06
You make a good point George (and Frank2). I think he probably is 6'2". However, it is strange that he only looks 6 feet even next to Glenn. Just one random anomaly I suppose.
Frank2 said on 10/Apr/06
This thread cracks me up! Beatty is legitimately tall. In fact, he's one of the taller actors I've met. You need to move over to where I'm arguing with Tiger and others over various photos on the Jerry Lewis, Dean Martin and Marilyn Monroe threads. It's really funny to read all his excuses given after I post a photo that shows a specific height difference between two people and he can't accept what's before his eyes.
George H said on 10/Apr/06
No, I still don't buy it, Elio. Your legs, your calves and knees, have a different position when you have a lift. Even when I'm standing in my boots, I notice my posture is different than when I'm in my trainers or other flat shoes. If I noticed anything, and I checked his feet instinctively because I was not expecting him to be that tall, it's that he was really standing flat footed. That's hwy I keep repeating that he wore big flat shoes. Definitely no lifts. He is that big.
Elio said on 5/Apr/06
Well actually I would say he might be 6'0" even and wearing 2.5" - 3" shoes. Which would make him look 6'2".

As far as saying he's 'vain' , I was refering to Carly Simon's song. Although she's occasionally said it's about lots of guys she's dated, popular belief is that the song is pretty much about this guy. I mean, how many other celebs have songs about their vanity?
George H said on 5/Apr/06
You know Elio, you're probably right. Beatty is only 5'9" and wears lifts to look 6'2". That would make His wife Rhea Perlman's size, Michael Douglas around 5'4", Dustin Hoffman about 5'1". I also think it's a safe bet that most artists and actors are quite vain. You probably get that way from being pampered and kissed on the butt by everybody all the time :)
Glenn said on 3/Apr/06
Exactly Elio.
Elio said on 3/Apr/06
How do you know he wasn't wearing lifts. He is so vain afterall.
Glenn said on 3/Apr/06
He can have very bad posture then.
George H said on 3/Apr/06
I have to go with Jackie.
Glenn, I may have just seen him up close one time, but I can only say what I experienced. And that is that he was taller than I am, and that he was quite a bit taller than Jeremy Irons. Jeremy Irons seemed about my height, 6'1", but he was further away from where we were standing. In fact, not unlike the recently posted photos, Beatty was the tallest man on that red carpet when we were there. And he wasn't wearing lifts, or as Jackie says high heels.
My wife is 5'9" and was not wearing high heels. Annette was about an inch or so taller than her, with modest heels on. Beatty was slightly more than half a head (half of his big head) taller than Annette. Irons was more than one inch shorter than Beatty. I'd say Annette is about 5'8" (when I compare her to my wife) and with the shoes she had on that night 5'10". Beatty had on normal shoes. I believe normal shoes are maybe 3/4 of an inch high. Irons was wearing the same type of normal height shoes, only a different style and color. It wasn't a gala premiere, where the men wear tuxedos and dress shoes.

dmeyer said on 30/Mar/06

Glenn said on 29/Mar/06
Any chance these 5-11 rumors are true? judging from my photo? which you havnt mentioned lately.and I think you only met him once.everytime I saw him,he was 6ft.any chance he is 6ft or 61 and wears? for those who see him at 62,63 ?

Forgot to add that I'm not starting an argument, just explaining. :)
George H said on 29/Mar/06
Reread that, Glenn. I'm not saying he is 6'1, period. I'm saying that IF he is 6'1", then he must be a very tall 6'1", because I am 6'1" in bare feet and was wearing boots the day I met him, while he was wearing big, dark, flat shoes, yet when I sought eye contact with him (over a distance of about 1 foot) to offer him my program to sign, I had to look UP. We were standing on the same level ground, only separated by a type of rope or whatever to keep us in that area and not spill over the "red carpet". THAT is what I was saying. If I have to choose between Frank2's 6'1" and your "He always looked 5'11" - 6ft to me" comment of March 20, I have to stick with Frank2 because his comes closer to my perception, but I perceived him to be taller than that, given my own height.
Glenn said on 28/Mar/06
Reread that George.this how arguments start.your not making any sense.I said 6-1 cause Frank said so.now your saying 6-1 min.so why are you going against what Im saying,which is the same thing your saying and never once hold into account the best proof ever,I met him countless times and my photo! he is no more than 6ft there! and I heard countless times he is 5-11 and wears lifts.my photo prooves this.now Im not saying he is 5-11,Im saying he isnt 6-2,6-3.6-1 is fine.
George H said on 27/Mar/06
No, Glenn, it doesn't 'clear things up'. You should watch the movie they made together (Beatty and Nicholson) called 'The Fortune' or else every photo in which they are together. Beatty is consistently half a head taller than Nicholson. And like I said from personal observation, the man has a rather large/long head. Longer than average I would say. 6'1" minimum, but since he was taller than me in Toronto, and I measure 6'1" in bare feet, and was wearing boots that night, while he was wearing big flat shoes, I'd say he's either a very tall 6'1", but really still 6'2". Annette Bening is 5'8" and she was wearing heels. They were not extremely high, but I think about 2 inches, and she was considerably shorter than him, too.

George H - I have never seen Warren Beatty.
Glenn said on 24/Mar/06
Well then that clears that up that he isnt 6-2 or 6-2.5.and yes,Jack is 5-8.
Frank2 said on 24/Mar/06
Beatty is 6'1". No question in my mind. I had to look up at him when I talked to him. And Nicholson is about 5'8". I had to look down at him when we spoke which was at the Emmys. We were in the lobby waiting to get back inside. When you leave to go to the restroom, a seat sitter takes your seat and they don't allow you back in until a commercial break. Same at the Oscars.
Glenn said on 24/Mar/06
I believe in a small possibility that beatty is 6 even and mcqueen migtve been 5-9.small chance.ironically,nicholson was in that beatty picture with me,and walked away when he reconised my friend as an autograph dealer.he looked 5-10 that night,tallest I ever saw him.I also remember beatty looking 6-3 in a movie or 2.

At the following website scrowl down and look at Beatty with 5'8" Jack Nicholson: Click Here
Beatty is at least four inches taller than Jack and Jack wears lifts when in public.

Betty Thomas is my height or 5'11". Look at how much taller Warren is in this photo: Click Here And look at how short former South Dakota Senator Tom Daschle is as well as black film and TV director Thomas Carter who I've worked with and know to be about 5'8".

Here's Beatty with Todd-AO sound director Buzz Knudson and film director John Landis:
Click Here
Landis is 6' and Buzz is about my height or 5'11". I've known Buzz for years and met and spoke with John on several occasions.

Here's Beatty with 5'9" Tony Danza: Click Here

Here's Beatty with 5'10" conservative radio talk show host Larry Elder: Click Here (Talk about opposites!)

Had enough? Or do you believe Beatty is 5'10" and wears Stallone's lifts?

George H said on 23/Mar/06
I copied an earlier comment of myself in 'Natalie Wood' that had Beatty in it, too. That is now my wife's favorite website :)
My wife pointed me to a website with more photos of Natalie with Warren Beatty. I met Beatty once and got his autograph. He is a big man, but his head is a bit big or long, also. Anyway, here is the url to the photos. Click Here
And one to a single photo.Click Here

Thanks elio!
elio said on 22/Mar/06
From what i've seen, I think 6 foot could be more accurate. These days at least.
Glenn said on 22/Mar/06
Hackman can look 6-3 at times.but you seem to be ignoring the fact he can look shorter as this photo prooves.another rumored guy to wear lifts.as with 6-1 plus looking Nick nolte,being suppossedly 5-11 sans lifts.
Frank2 said on 21/Mar/06
I saw and spoke with him at the time he was filming Bulworth which was in 1998. No way is he my height. I'd bet a million dollars on that one. He's a solid 6'1" and was possibly 6'2" back when he did Bonnie and Clyde. I mean he was the same height as Gene Hackman! And don't tell me Hackman is 5'11" or I'll scream and run amok!
George H said on 21/Mar/06
Fair enough. I don't care what anyone says, either, because I know what I saw in Toronto :) My wife only wished she could have met him in the 1970's, though she isn't exactly complaining now!
Frank2, when was the last time you saw Beatty? And you are right, he was very nice. I first got Annette's autograph, and because he was standing by her side, I offered him the program to sign as well. He asked 'you DO know I'm just her date. I'm not in this movie.' which I thought showed his sense of humor. When I still wanted him to sign he smiled, signed, gave back my program and thanked me! He signed about half as many times as Annette, and it was her premiere.
Mr. R, if you're still around, did you ever see him?
Glenn said on 20/Mar/06
He always looked 5-11,6 feet to me.I read he wears lifts.I dont care what anyone says cause this photo backs my claim,unless he has bad posture.at least one person agrees he doesnt always look tall.
George H said on 20/Mar/06
No, Glenn, that's what amazes me. He doesn't look 6-2 next to you, but he did next to me (I'm 6'1"). But we didn't take any pictures, because where we were standing, only the press was allowed to make photos. I was about 1 foot away from him and I have to agree with Frank2 that he looked at least 6-1. But really a bit over that.
Frank2 said on 19/Mar/06
Beatty is still at least 6'1".
