I dion't know about Adam, but when I've seen Eastwood he's always towered over most everyone. I don't carry a tape measure with me. I go by what I see. He was tall enough that composer John Williams who's 5'10" came up to Eastwood's nose.

Well, Buddy WAS 6'3". I met him and he towered over me. Just look how tall he is next to Dean Martin on his variety show which there are clips available on youtube. Martin was 5'10", wore lifts and Ebson still towers over him.

Eastwood was a legit 6-4 prime. No doubts. He didn`t/doesn`t wear any kinds of lifts or anything like that... unlike our dear buddy, mr. Duke.
Eastwood: 6-4 to 6-4

Buddy Ebsen was 6'3". I saw him several times, once on the set of THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES. No way was he 6'1". Fess was closer to 6'6" in his prime. Met him too. Now, he's one of the nicest people, period.

Clint Eastwood and Buddy Ebsen were the same height. There is a photograph of them when they appeared on the Danny Kaye show during the 1960s. Fess Parker (6'5") is in the same picture and is a few inches taller than both of them even though he is not even standing up straight. There is no way that Clint Eastwood could have ever been 6'4". About 6'1" would be a more reasonable estimate.

I'm going to attract more scorn here but I never like John Wayne the big lumbering oaf never instigated any excitement in me whatsoever so I won't be purchasing the book. 6'4 for Wayne though.

I met Clint on the Universal scoring stage when John Williams was recording his score for THE EIGER SANCTION. Clint was a tall guy. When he walked on, he towered over everyone. He was a man of few words so he only said "hello" and that was it. And I subsequently saw Eastwood at events such as the Academy Awards. Didn't speak to him there. He just walked by me and he was at least 6'3". His claim of 6'4" is not at all out of hand.

Thanks for the welcome mike c,I predict many arguements in the future lol,but thats what I like. Now was George Kennedy 6'4 or 6'4 in shoes,all americans give their height in shoes especially movie stars so comparing Van Cleef and Kennedy is a moot point. Marvin doesn't look 6'2 with 5'10 Keenan Wynn or with Paul Newman posted earlier.
AAAA,yeah I've seen that shot but it's not convincing enough.

Yassappa .....
A lot of his cowboy movies are hard to get good still off of. Leone was notorious for his setup of camera work, and those who follwed in directing followed suit. Simply put... he shot at stange angles for dramatic effect. FEw and far pictures exist and I have seen about 3 but they are HARD to find. And people had a tendency to shoot clint from low angles anyway. That, combined with his height made him absolutely looming in a lot of his early films. Look at Click Here
Daniels and Eastwood in 2002 "Bloodwork". Daniels has bad posture and Clint has definitly shrunk some by now. I think if they straightend out Daniels would be a bit taller. Rob has him at 6'3. Clint must have been at least 6'3 to shrink and still appear this tall in his early 70's at this point. My opinion. I know it isn't a full body shot, but their bodies look to matvh up to me from what is displayed. Hope to hear you all soon

Lee Marvin was most definitely 6'2". I know since I once had the pleasure of meeting him at a screening back in the mid-1970s. I looked up at him and I'm 5'11". He was at least three inches taller than me. David Carradine is now about 6' or was the last time I saw him in person which was several years ago. Don't know how tall he was when he was younger, but I suspect he was 6'1". James Mason was 5'11" in his prime and didn't appear to lose height as he got older. I saw him many times since he and my dad were good friends.
In his prime, Clint was a tall man. At least 6'3". No doubt he could have been 6'4". But these days he's lost some height. After all, he's closing in on 80.

Yaspaa. Welcome aboard. Do yourself a favor and buy The Duke, A Life in Pictures. It's loaded with vintage photos of the Duke. There's a picture of Clint with Marvin, Hudson, Wayne, Stewart, Borgnine, et.al ..clearly shows Clint's and Marvin's footwear. Tell us Marvin was never 6'2"..Clint was still at his best height....6'4"..Let us know. mike c ps. Saw a commercial with Van Cleef and George Kennedy (6'4") and Lee is about 2 inches shorter..

Lee Van Cleef was never 6'2,he's a smidge taller than David Carradine and 2" taller than James Mason,6'1 max. Lee Marvin was also never 6'2 more 6'0 as the pic with a 5'10 guy shows on the Marvin page.
All this so called evidence on the net I simply can't find,footwear is obscured or the angle is no good and I'll say it again,there is no way Clint was close to 6'6 in his boots.
Patrick,where are these pics you mention?,are they recent or vintage?

Thanks, Patrick. I missed your post....didn't scroll down enough. This post and that of Wayne are tough....it seems some people can't accept the obvious. Clint was at least 2" taller than Lee Van Cleef (6'2") in their movies yet people still insist Clint was not tall at all. That's the beauty of the internet..all the proof is there for the asking..you just have to know where to look. Take care.

Guys, I've said twice before on this site. My grandfather was 6' when in his early twenties. He died at age 102 and was my height 5'6"..he had curvature of the spine and walked humped over. So, it's possible to lose more than 1 inch as you get older. Clint, 6'4" in prime and now 6'2" when he stands erect.mike c

No, that's an "average" height lost. Some people will lose more, and some less. Many men will lose at least a few inches, because of old age and continued lack of exercise. People don't realize how important exercise is to your height, as well. Just building muscle supports and reinforces your skeletal structure. However, Clint has exercised, but always seems to have had issues with his back/posture.

In For a few dollars more Clint seemed to be at least an inch taller than Lee Van Cleef, maybe even 2 inches. I'd say he was something between 6'3 and 6'4 in his prime.

The shot is misleading ,but we aren't talking about a single inch. Lee's heels aren't visible,lucky for you guys.

Yaspaa, that phot of Lee Marvin with Paul Newman is misleading. Newman has on cowboy boots and Marvin is badly slouching to say the least. Marvin was 6'2'' without a doubt. Glenn who I believe has been barred said that he met Clint in the late 80s early 90s and he looked at least 6'4''. I've got a Clint doc on dvd in which he has a bit part in a Rock Hudson film and he is approx the same height as Hudson. Hudson was 6'4'' to 6'5''.

He's nearly 80 so it's not surprising he's a lot smaller than in his prime. Look at Paint Your Wagon. Eastwood is definitely taller than Lee Marvin and Marvin was a legit 6'2'' plus.

I'm going to stick my neck out here,hung drawn and quartered I may be, yet I feel the yearning to voice my doubt over Clint's 6'4 height. He always looked like a 6'2 guy to me. If you think of Dolph Lundgren,Clint never had that very very tall look about him. He is still capable of good posture and is able to stand up straight. Where has the height gone? He has lost an inch at most. Bring it on!

Whats he like Glenn? I always imagined him to be pretty cool. Any one who doubts his 6ft 4 height watch Dirty Harry or Paint Your wagon. he was a big fellah, even then he had rounded shoulders and slight curvature of his back. Similar in build to Hugh Jackman but Jackmans posture is better, different era but both tall well built men. Makes me sick lol

I read years ago in the 80s that Clint was 6'4". I understand what you're saying about Eli Wallach, but it's common practice in movies to shoot from altered angles to make actors look taller, or use mechanical devices (heels, raised flooring, etc.,) to make two actors with divergent heights appear closer, in most cases to be able to fit them into scenes together. As for back issues, I was 6'2" all of my adult life, until 5 years ago when I had a vertebra fused. I lost a full inch in height, now having to stretch pretty hard on a good day just to hit 6'1". This is VERY common for people with severe back problems.

I'm not convinced that Clint was ever 6'4 at his peak. He certainly didn't look a whopping 9 inches taller then 5'7 Eli Wallach in "The Good the Bad and the Ugly." Likewise I didn't notice much difference between him and 6'2 Lee Van Cleef. Also I find it hard to believe someone could lose 3 inches in height through age unless through major spinal deformation or severe hunchback. In the picture above however his posture seems quite solid and straight for a man in his 70's. My guess is that Clint Eastwood's current height is around 6'1, and peak height was around 6'2 1/2.

For Clint Eastwood, 6'4'' peak and 6'+ now sounds very reasonable to me. As some of the guys said before, he looked visibly shorter than Freeman in Million Dollar Baby. Yes, I think it's possible he lost 3 inches or even a bit more. Even a not so tall guy, like US bluesman Johnny Winter (who I think wasn't less than 6 feet in his youth), looks 5'8'' nowadays at 60+ years old, because of a very bad health condition and weakness, I guess.

I agree with anonymous, I think he was 6-3 tops on his prime. He was very thin so he can looks even taller than he really was. Today he looks the same height as Schwarzenegger (6-0), and 1 inch over Brad Pitt. Or he had terrible back issues.

I will see if I can find out about height loss. It can vary with diff ethnic groups ,bone density, lifestyle, etc. But as a general rule: you can start to notice about the age of 60. The human body is a marvel of engineering, but cannot maintain that optimum physique forever. Interesting how some shorter people have a better posture even when they start to lose height.

Go to the Wayne page and see the album put together by my buddy Gonzalo...it has this classic photo..trust me, the discussion is over on Clint. No doubt 6'4". Mike C ps. I course you would have to know that Stewart was 6'3", Hudson was 6'5", and Wayne, at that time, was down a tad from his 6'4.5 in prime...

Very few actors in Hollywood have ever been 6' 4", although many have claimed that as a publicity height. In my opinion, only James Arness and Clint Walker were 6' 4" or taller, at least among real movie stars (sports stars who made movies, like Michael Jordan, being disqualified).
So I don't buy Clint as 6' 4" even in his youthful prime; most actors are well under six feet, and any actor that height would loom over most cast members, something that Eastwood rarely did.
Comparing his height to other actors who were also supposedly the same size doesn't make any difference.
I think there's less "height upgrading" in modern Hollywood but in the classic 20th century cinema, with publicists, no actor was under six feet tall and no actress was over 125 pounds.

Its hard to picture a man who was once 6'4" looking up to Brad Pitt. Maybe this is actually the case with Eastwood, but he looks 5'11", 6' tops next to Pitt and Jolie.

For those who doubt how "shrunk" a man can get because of age, back problem etc.: have you recently seen Jerry Lewis? He was indeed, far shorter than Clint but not short at all and arguably taller than Dean Martin. (The latter had to wear some kind of lifts to look as tall or taller). Now, Jerry Lewis is most probably less than 5

When Clint was shooting the westerns in the 60's he was 6'3". I'm sure the cowboy boots made a big hieght difference.
And you state this as a FACT because you were his personal assistant who measured him during that era? Give me a break.

Tim: two thoughts: 1) Perhaps the scoliosis has taken away that 3/4". My sister has it and she had to have major surgery to straighten her spine, along with steel rods for a while; and 2) If your recent doctor visit came later in the day, your spine had probably settled some. I suppose you don't really remember now just what time of day your volleyball measurement was.

when i was 18 i was marked at exactly 6'4 3/4 in the doctors office for a physical required for highschool volleyball. 6'5 was an assumption of others and myself. i have had lower back problems and scoliosis since the age of 16. 3 months ago i was measured at 6'4 flat at the doctors office for another physical for a job. BUT i completely understand your doubt.

Is it possible Clint had some vertebrae fused or something? A loss of height of that magnitude is usually not attributed to simply age. 3 inches?
And I don't think his 6'4" height at his peak is inaccurate. He ALWAYS looked that tall in his movies.

Tim: Wow! Losing an inch by age 33 is VERY unusual barring medical issues. I would venture a guess that one of the two measurements was performed incorrectly, and maybe both. Unless you yourself have specifically noticed getting that much shorter (like versus a brother or best friend), I can't believe you could have lost an inch. I turned 60 last year and have lost no more than 1/4 inch, despite 40 years of lower back problems. I'm not doubting YOU, just the underlying facts.

i agree with patrick, clint stands at least 2 or 3 inches taller than the 6'2 don stroud. Unfortainly he is wearing cowboy boots the entire movie which can add at least 2 or 3 inches. I say clint is 6'4 in this movie.
I reached the height of 6'5 at the age of 19, and i am now right at 6'4 at the age of 33. Although i am not exactly sure when i came down one inch.

George H:
I believe that not everyone loses (significant) height but it is more obvious in those who are taller. Both Garner and Eastwood lived active lives and were hard on their frames.
The human spine shrinks as one gets older: anatomy and physiology 101. Whether it shrinks by an inch or four inches is going to depend on the depth of cushioning between the vertebrae and the person's original height... along with individual factors like diet and general health. Some people begin to lose height in their 60's, others not til they're 80 but everyone loses some height.

TJ I agree. Eastwood was slightly shorter than Neeson in the Dead Pool. I don't know why there is any argument about Estwood's height though. Until the last few year he has always looked about 6'4''. I mean it's not like Arnie where sometimes he looks tall and other times not so tall. Clint always appeared tall.

He didn't look taller than Liam Neeson in the Dead Pool. If anything, he looked the same or slightly shorter. In any case, I remember an interview from the time where Neeson said he had been asked to slouch a little in shorts to ensure the hero of the movie wasn't shorter.

Manitobaboy, not everybody shrinks as they get older. I know plenty of older guys in real life, the oldest one reached the awesome age of 93, who barely
lost 1 inch over the course of their lives. Eastwood may have some medical condition or injury effects that caused his relatively big height loss.

The taller you are, the more likely you will lose significant height as the cushioned spaces between your vertebrae will shrink more. Clint, James Garner, Jimmy Stewart - all tall guys who shrank a lot. My father was a hair over 6'1" for most of his adult life - he died at 80 and was barely 5'11".

Hi Tubbs. Mr Eastwood could, if he "stood tall", still conceivably reach 6`3" or so. However, at the age of 77 & an almost lifelong problem of postural defects, he would find it too painful. Remember, his whole musculature has adapted to his spinal curvature over the years. The condition is certainly not as uncommon as people think. Having it for years from a young age, as Mr Eastwood clearly has, will naturaly cause problems with posture.

I find what Dr Ed has to say very interesting. I have a friend who has the same condition as Clint with regards to scoliosis. He is a 6'1 guy ,who describes how the lower lumbar region 'collapses' on occassion, and tells me how it bends like a banana (sorry for the non technical terms) and when it does he looks around 5'11.5 at the most. However, when his back is in good shape, and he stands tall he is no doubt 6'1". My question is Dr Ed, could Clint still look 6'3", 6'4" if he stood straight, albeit in some considerable discomfort, or are there too many factors contributing to his loss of height to get up in the 6'4" region. Personally Clint still looks 6'1.5" to me.

Both of these will contribute to Mr Eastwood`s significant height loss. His postural problems have been evident from his youth. If you are able to see old episodes of Rawhide it is a problem even then and it will be exacerbated by old age.

Warren Beatty actually looks slightly taller than Eastwood in Rob's photo, but Clint has clearly lost all those inches. Back in the 60s, I would guess that Warren would have been looking up at Clint.

Dr Ed - are you saying that the angle of the pelvis results in a curved upper spine? That is interesting. Who else have you seen with that posture?

Ed. Rob: what "Kurt" on the pic? "Kirk" yes, but Kurt...
Anyway, that feels bizarre to see them so...
I am sure what Dr Ed syas about Clint is right all th emore since because I always saw what he is talking about: scoliosis and "bad posture" du to a back problem. He pelvis is very wide and fortunately, Clint is broad shouldered or else...
He is not the same man than before for sure and that is normal! Look at my so dear Kirk Douglas! I find him great in that picture, above all considering he is 91!!!

I added a comment on hear a few months ago about Mr Eastwood`s posture. For those newcomers, I have seen examples of his type of posture before in my role as a back specialist. Even in his younger days, you can see his pelvic girdle "leaning" or "slanting" to the right as he is standing or walking. This becomes more pronounced in his later films; for example, you can really notice it in the fims with the orang-utan, when he has his top off. Also, note the way he walks & you will clearly see this effect. This type of postural defect is a form of scoliosis and I can tell you from my experiences that this can cause a significant reduction in height. One of you mentioned Heartbreak Ridge and, funnily enough, this was on in the UK a few weeks ago. I noticed that Mr Eastwood had to "stand tall & straight" in playing a military officer and he looked close to the height of the officer played by Everett Martin who, I have read, is 6`5" tall. In his regular, everyday life, he would not be able to keep that "stand tall" posture up as it would produce some discomfort and, with his advanced years, he will clearly be shorter than in his prime by quite a surprising margin. I hope this is of interest to his fans & everyone who is contributing to this very entertaining site. Kind regards Dr Ed Michaels

I agree with Russ's 6'3" estimate. Clint always looked a tall guy in his early films but he never seemed quite the towering 6'4". 6'3" prime height fits well for him.

You can tell sometimes that 6-4 could be a stretch, If you really know how tall 6-4 looks.

It was the early 80's. Probably 1981 when I held the door open for Clint Eastwood and his gal pal. If you want to beleive that Clint was 6'4" at that time, then so be it. Maybe he was. I was 5'9" at the time and he was considerably taller than me. But, 7 inches taller? It's hard to tell at a glance. I stumbled across this site by accident. It's amusing how people can be obsessed by a person's height. Oh well. Have fun.

When I was on a camping trip in California, I held the door open for Clint as he and his female companian were walking out of a sporting goods store. He was quite tall. My guess: 6' 3". 6 feet four is stretching it.

Yes, Viper..he's lost about 1.5 inches in height. Given the age of the man, the way he holds his head with the shoulders hunched, and curvature of the spine I would say 1.5...if he were to straighten up 6'2.5"/.25" easily. I think I've said it abot three times in the last yr and a half..my grandfather was 6' in his youth..at 90, when I last saw him he was my height...5'6"...hunched over,bad curvature of the spine, etc. Just look at Clint's stance and walk in movies like Hearbreak Ridge..by the way, I think Stan is correct. Great action movie, I saw it again last night and Stan is right on the money...Viper, let's see who among the contributors has the balls to ask Clint to strip so we can get a good look at his back.....and yes, he can't help his poor posture.

He was 6'4 in heartbreak ridge, that swede guy that he beats up in the begining was a tight end for the kc cheifs and was measured at the NFL combine at 6'3 1/2 257. When he stands right next to clint, clint is just a little taller, about a half inch. I think clint might have been pushing about 220 also.

Years ago, about 5 or 6, I read in a few articles that Eastwood was already 6 feet by the time he was 13 and fully grown to 6'4" at 15! Did anyone else hear about this? Being 6'4" at the age of 15 must have been a darn giant for his time.

Height always made Eastwood a mysterious figure in many of his films. His thin weight along with his height - good combination in his earlier films.

I think he is around 6'2.5-6'3. Hell he could have been 6'3 and a bit when he was younger. I thik he is pushing 80 now, so he may have lost an inch

In Magnum force he looks to have 3 maybe 4 inches on David Soul, maybe it's to do with the way it is shot, that makes other actors look taller. I have a feeling that the actors in the Dirty Harry films were mostly pretty big guys. Just check out The Dead Pool filmed in 1988, Clint in some scenes has an inch on 6'4" Neeson. In Million Dollar Baby, it did look like he had shrunk down to around the 6'1.5" region.

I'm probably gonna catch hell for this but I just watched the first two Dirty Harry movies and Clint really doesn't look like a genuine 6'4 guy. He looks tall, don't get me wrong, but a real 6'4 guy usually looks like Godzilla in movies. He looks 6'2.5 or 6'3 to me. Either that or the whole cast is 6'+.

What about Stallone then? He's 60 and doesn't appear to have lost height. My guess is that Clint wasn't quite 6'4 in his prime. Probably like 6'3.5" and is maybe 6'1.5" now. I mean, losing 5 cm by the age of 77 isn't that abnormal. Especially for a tall guy.
