Elvis and Milton Berle. Click Here
Neither man is wearing lifts. They appear to be the same height. Berle was no taller than 5'10&1/2". Actors who were truly 6' or taller were obviously taller than Berle. Watch The Whispering Ghost. 6'2" Grady Sutton towers over Berle. Watch the episode of the old Texico Star Theater where 6'1" Basil Rathbone was obviously a lot taller than Berle.

A fellow I know and respect who's a very successful retired entertainment lawyer told me that just about every actor lies about their height. They always inflate it. He said he represented several well known male stars who claimed to be at least two inches taller than they actually were.

I agree with Mike. Elvis was taller than 5'10".
Here he is with 5'7" Ed Sullivan

I see a four inch difference making Elvis 5'11".

Hi Amaral there is no way that Elvis was 5ft 10 ins, most people agree that he was 5ft 11 ins minimum. To me Elvis was 6ft, there is so much evidence to support this. I don't know Milton Berles correct height or the shoe wear he had on at the time but you just can't argue with photos of Elvis in bare feet, it adds conviction to what some of us are saying. Ed Parker was 6ft tall, I know this for sure. Do you agree that bare feet photos are more reliable that others such as the Milton Berle shot?

Steve is right about the Elvis at 6'2 claims being nonsense in that '50s magazine, but Elvis himself didn't claim that. When asked his height in 1956, he said "an even 6 foot".

Growing up in a town that's very much in the shadow of Elvis and also my own mom a big fan of his too you could say that we were gate fans at Graceland and growing up in the 70's I got to see Elvis on horseback, car, golf cart and on foot at the gates of Graceland up until the day the day he died. Without doubt Elvis was tall, for most part thin and very handsome. Easy 6ft at least, at least as tall my husband is now who is alittle over 6ft. TCB fellas

If Elvis used lifts then of course we all know so did John Wayne who boosted his height by 4 inches for years in his cowboy boots with lifts.

with Richard Nixon he's barely taller by a fraction. So with shoes or boots on he was 6 foot no doubt. Period. 5'11" barefoot is right on. Many of you are mental arguing about growing after 18. Funny how uneducated people tend to have delusions of grandeur. Hahha life is to be appreciated not scared of

Jack, bless you. I'm far from being young. Once I past 70 I realized youth is strictly for the young.
Oh, by the time Elvis met Grant backstage, Grant had lost height. And Elvis was wearing height increasing footwear.

I contacted Graceland Archives and asked them whether they had an army document which showed Elvis' measurement as 6ft in barefoot and 6ft 1 3/4ins in boots. I also asked whether they had any information regarding some suggestion that Elvis grew after he joined the army. All I received back was a link to the 1956 interview on Youtube in which Elvis refers to himself as 'six foot even', and then I was informed that the army documents also confirm this. So I was slightly disappointed at the response as I did mention this site and that there is also documentation stating that Elvis was 5ft 11ins.
Graceland are obviously of the opinion that Elvis was six foot ' period', so I tried to get more information for us to debate, but to be honest we are no better off. I am beginning to believe that the document showing the two measurements taken in the army with and without boots doesn't exist as I can't locate it anywhere!

I asked my doctor. He said the vast majority of boys stop growing in height between 16 and 18 years of age. By 18 in 99% of males, height ceases as the bones fuse together. There have been rare cases of height increasing past 18, but by 25, the rarity becomes infinitesimal.
If Elvis gained height as an adult he did so using special footwear.
Finally, and this will end my argument, tall actors always appear tall on screen. When I say tall I mean 6' or more. Cary Grant always looked tall. So do today's actors such as Kevin Costner or Christian Bale. But with Elvis he started out looking no more than 5'11". He even looked 5'10". Then in later films he 'grew' till he towered over most male co-stars.

Its more common than people realise here that people do grow after reaching adulthood in their 20's, as my mother did, I did, we both grew an inch and and just over an inch and an quarte. I know friends too that this has happened. This was when we were all in our twenties too. Your body never stops changing and growing in certain ways throughout your life weather it be height, feet, bone density, your body becoming more filled out as you get older. Your body, height, size is in continuous state of change from day one until the day you die, that's pretty much a medical fact. With respect to all of you here. Elvis's body changed drastically over the years and not just in weight but he, shot up very quickly in height as a teenager. People don't tell you that both when him and Buddy Holly were the same age of getting their first driving licences as kids before fame buddy holly at 17-18 was 5ft 03 until his late growth spurt got him to 5.11 before he died tragically. Elvis at 16 was already 5.11, so he was almost 6ft as a kid and very skinny and lanky and had that look until pretty much the army. He started to fill out in his 20's. But Elvis had what you call long limbs, legs, arms and gangly. He was in fact measured at over 6ft for the army with his boots on and 6ft without. The famous photos you see of Elvis physicals or for publicity. But Elvis actual physical height in socks was 6ft.05 consistently on four occasions. His fellow army buddies who served with him and were present at various points of Elvis physicals during his army tenur, not the famous the publicity stunt one but the subsequent ones after, have all testified that serving with Elvis great. He was just another guy but they also state on his physicals his weight remained pretty stable in the army always between 170-175 and his height in stocking feet was 6ft just by .05 inch. Not my words but his fellow servicemen he served with in Germany. If I'm to believe anybody here, I'm going to believe our servicemen whom served in our country, worked with Elvis everyday and pulled and shoved dirt in freezing winters for two years with him. That's real honesty and respect right there. If we can't respect our troops and ex servicemen then and put photos over their knowing the man and seeing the man on a daily basis and not only that but dressing down for his physicals then the question here should be here; Do we all need to see a Dr? Elvis was 6ft and I'm not even saying it from the army facts, I'm saying it from the guys in the army who also had their physicals with him too and were witness to his weigh in and height on physicals in the army as Elvis was to there's. God bless and have a good day.

I never met Elvis but been to many of the Elvis conventions over the years at Elvis week, held yearly at Graceland and had the good fortune to meet many of the lovely people who worked and co starred with Elvis from Scotty Moore to James Burton to Kathy Westmoreland. Now all these people worked with him on a daily basis for many years right through his career at the beginning and at the end. Both Scotty and James are 5ft 9 and 5ft 10 respectively each and Kathy Westmoreland is 5ft 0. Both James and Scotty have said on many occasions with or without boots Elvis was at least 6ft. Kathy who not to make the beautiful little lady blush but whom has already stated in her book publicly had shared her bed with Elvis and had a brief relationship with him when she joined the show and his concerts in 1971 said that that the key thing upon meeting Elvis was he was a lot taller in person than she expected at least 6ft. She should know pardon the pun and obvious here but Elvis would not be wearing his boots of cowboy hat to bed if you get my drift. So three very close people whom knew Elvis from right across all of Elvis's career have addressed this publicly and more directly by Kathy Westmoreland in her book years ago which she's now Republishing with an upto date version next year I think. It should be an amazing book that's for sure as this little lady also went to high school and is best friends with none other than Steve Martin the comedian whom she managed to meet Elvis in Vegas and there you have it. Plus Steve Martin thinks Elvis stood at 6ft 2ins just to add fuel here. But I certainly believe Scotty, James and Kathy as they have no reason whatsoever to lie or any basis for gain either so it's based on the truth. Have a nice day. But I definately go with their view that Elvis was at least 6ft.

Gx79, growing after reaching adulthood is extremely rare. This document you linked is accurate. Elvis was 5'11". A slight lift boosted him to 6'.
And 88, I agree that 5'11" is relatively tall, even today. But I don't agree that Elvis lost a full inch during the day.

5'11 is tall! Where do people get off thinking 5'11 is short?! I believe he was 5'11 on his day after all his hard work after the latter part of the day,and 6 ft in the early morning and early part of the day. Many people are about an inch taller in the early part of the day.

Again Steve proves my argument and back ups everything I've previously stated in my last comment by his lack of 'Progress'. He reinforced his statements in a panic when Mike 2 had verified documents and evidence come in from Graceland. His reply was both laughable and comic to a fault. The old standard Steve reply of 'Elvis is using lifts and below 6ft blah blah blah'. However I did notice with Steve an admitted mistake that I don't think he realised himself. He put Elvis height at 5.11 3/4, and started talking weight as a source of measuring people's heights too now. With the greatest respect that's when I knew really Steve does not really 'Know' what he's talking about. It's all very vague and speculative with him and he's certainly not an attorney that I've ever heard of with respect. What attorney basis his case so much on hearsay without evidence? I'm actually not biased either way on Elvis's height but I'm certainly a realist. I certainly don't have height issues myself as I'm 6ft 2ins myself so I'm only on this page out of curiosity. But I certainly think everybody is allowed to share their opinion on here just as much as you Steve. Mike2 Way to go man. We should get Elvis back to 6ft officially as that's what all the evidence says. As for Dave Hebler he was never the same height as Elvis and in various photos which you can find online of them together online you will see that Elvis is taller by two - three inches. Dave's height officially is listed as 5ft 10ins and I've spoken to him and met him so I can say that with eyewitness certainty. Have a good day people . Respectfully, Rattlesnake Jake

I think 5'11.5 is the best shout, I'd say 6'0.5 more likely a shoe measurement.

No way was Elvis over 6 ft barefoot, in fact I thought he could look in 181-2 range. See him Katrina with 6'1.5 Wendell Corey in Loving You who had him by an easy 2 inches.

Elvis couldn't have been over six feet barefoot. That would mean Milton Berle was over 6' and that's most certainly not the case.

I've consulted Graceland Archives of Elvis Presley Enterprises and they say that Elvis was measured in the army in bare feet at 6'0.5'' or 184.15 cm, according to the army records. They use to round it down to 6' but the exact Elvis' height was 6'0.5''. Ramiro.

Jake, I have no idea what you're saying except it appears angers you I refuse to agree with you. I guess you believe it would be better if I said something like "Well, Elvis could gave been six feet, even over it, but I still question it."
Please!

"Elvis was 5ft 11.75in (182 cm); however, he routinely wore shoes that had "lifts" inserted into his size 11 shoes making him over 6 feet tall."
I believe the lift claim. But I think Elvis was no more than 5'11". If he was 6' he wouldn't look that short next to actors who were over 6'. And he would have towered over Milton Berle.
I also believe he was around 165 to 170 lbs. in his prime. That helped him to appear taller than he really was.

The problem we have here regarding Elvis's height Steve is whilst other's are open to depate, you are frankly 'NOT' surely if as you suggest that your truly an attorney, then debating should be part of your practice rather than fictional, one sided views. Your just stuck permanently on your one view with listening to what others are debating or talking about here. Everybody is also entitled to their own Elvis opinions on this page just as much yourself. Please try listening and reading alitte more openly as it will lead for far more interesting discussion rather than repeating yourself. There is many well respected people on here that are just as equal to you whom know an awful lot more about Elvis history than we do. It's best to show respect and be a gentleman.

Hi Steve, no you don't have to accept what I say, that's the whole point of this site, however I have to be honest and I can't help it if it goes against your opinion. Ed Parker was my height and I so my mind is made up. As I have stated previously I have much experience taking people's height and so at the time of meeting EdParker I actually studied his height and this was long before this site existed! All the evidence on the balance of probabilities with the documentation will is official and won't go away means that Elvis was 6ft . My evidence about Ed Parker is not hearsay evidence, I have spent years also dealing with court evidence!!

With all due respect, anyone can say they met some celeb. But that doesn't necessarrily make it true. I read lots of personal sightings where people make claims about heights. Some are accurate or at least fall within an inch of being accurate. Others are obviously false such as someone claiming they met Paul Newman who they swore was no more than 5'7.
Mike 2, you say you met Ed Parker. That means we must accept your word as being 100% true. But we have conclusive evidence Elvis was the same height as Milton Berle. And that Elvis was considerably shorter than other celebs listed as being 6'1".
Having been an attorney, I must go by the best evidence available. Heresay doesn't qualify.
Now if you had photos taken of you with Ed Parker....

Steve who says Elvis is 510" cause has the same height of Milton Berle and with enbasement cause we can see in tv show that Elvis has the similar height of Berle or Mike 2 is right who posted a photo of Elvis and Ed Parker in barefoot and they both have the same height .
milton Berle is the same height of Ed Parker who is 6" or Ed parker has the same height of Berle who is 510" as Steve said .

Ramiro, that's not true. There are people who met Elvis who said he was less than 6'. I've read their comments going way back. One guy who used to post here who claimed he met Elvis said he was 5'11". I forget his name.
You're right that hardly anyone is exactly 6'. Then there's the question were they measured wearing shoes or barefoot.

The problem with these kind of discussions, is that it`s literally impossible to arrive to the desired answer. NOBODY is exactly 6 feet tall, 5'11'' tall, or whaterver; and if we take into cosideration other factors as time of the day, if the person went to bed or not, etc..., everybody's height can vary a lot. Then, if we have to discuss using pics or images, the amount of distorting factors in presence makes it ridiculous trying to say "that person is exactly...."
In any case, there isn't a single quote of people who knew or met Elvis saying less than 5'11.5'' and there are a lot saying 6' or more. And that exactly agrees with Elvis' medical measurements, being all 6' except the one where he didn't go to bed all the previous night.

Not seeing the feet you cannot say for certain Wagner was wearing cowboy boots. And if he was, how do you know they had large heels?
Somewhere there are a set of photos showing Elvis with Wagner when Elvis went to work at the Fox studio. Both are in street attire. They are basically the same height. If I find them I will post them.

Again using pics where we can't see feet (even from waist up), nor floor or ground, without knowing if they are somewhat tilted, and where Elvis' companions are clearly in cowboy boots, where Elvis, according with clothes, is surely in regular shoes or even in slippers. As an example of the latter, in one of the pics with Robert Wagner Elvis is "dressed" in housecoat, very probably in his dressing room, while Wagner is dressed as his cowboy movie role.

Regarding the karate photo Jerry Schilling does look a lot taller than Elvis and Dave Hebler appears to be of similar height, however in reality Jerry was similar in height to Elvis, perhaps a bit taller and Dave Hebler was shorter than Elvis, so whether the group on the right of this photo were on a raised level, or it's just an angle thing I don't know, but Jerry does look huge. I am satisfied with Elvis, Ed Parker and Linda Thompson though, as they are in the centre looking straight at the camera and you can see Elvis' and Ed's feet. It is worth looking at the New Gladiator footage on Youtube to see what I mean about Dave Hebler, who is now a grand master of Kenpo. In the film you can see that for some strange reason Elvis is training in boots in some of it, but there is plenty of footage of hm barefooted and he seems to be a couple of inches taller than Dave Hebler and Bill 'Superfoot' Wallace who was listed as being 5ft 10ins tall at the time. So for me it really depends upon how tall Ed Parker was as he is virtually the same height as Elvis, and having met himI truly believe that he was 6ft tall. People can disagree with me, but of course I disagree with them. Perhaps we should follow Steve when he describes himself as being roughly 5ft 9ins tall, and agree that Elvis was roughly 6ft tall. Now that we have this karate photo I can't take other photos seriously as they are mostly from the waist up and either person could be wearing a variety of different footwear. So, how about a photo of Elvis and Johnny Cash standing next to each other barefooted. Now there's a challenge!!

but you can compare him to david hebler and jerry dchilling and for me he is a tad under 6' , but never 511" as you insist to say

Elvis and Milton Berle were the same height. Neither wore lifts on that television program.
Elvis was a lot shorter than 6'3" Steve Forrest. He was shorter than 6'1" Johnny Cash. Nearly five inches shorter than 6'3" Jimmy Dean. Several inches shorter than 6'2" Edward Andrews.

Look at What Elvis is wearing closely in that picture with Rob Wagner and you will see he's actually in a robe and on the set, in between shoots for Love me tender. The bigger photo of this which exists shows both men full body and Elvis is in slacks underneath and a shirt with loafers shoes which were flat and Rob Wagner was in Cowboy gear with guns at his side and wearing western boots. Truth.

Regarding Ed Parker I'm afraid that it is true but if I'm not believed then so be it. A barefooted photo of Elvis next to 6ft Ed Parker is enough for me. Waist up shots with other people prove nothing. to me this barefooted photo says it all. As has been said 6ft Ed Parker on Elvis' right and 5ft 9in Linda Thompson on his left. Nothing left to say.

Rampage I don't think Elvis was quite as tall as that. Lisa was only a little girl when he was alive so he would probably seem a lot bigger to her, the army have said he was 6'0.5 he has a driving licence which listed him as 6ft and 6ft 1 I believe he was about 6'0.5 which is why he was similar to Ed parker

simple Jack Lord was well known to use two inch lifts inside his Cuban heeled boots. This was confirmed on several occasions when his clothing was auctioned at memorabilia auctions by his estate. His boots had lifts inside plus this photo in question and also it's other photo from the same shoot Jack is much closer too the camera, giving the impression of greater height and size, broader shoulders etc. anybody whom works with camera, photography, film, lighting, staging will totally understand this from a professional perspective. Like a certain angle can make person look fatter or thinner. It's as simple as that. We've all had those photos that don't serve in the best possible light. It's just all about position.

Click Here The explanation Steve seems to be that Jack Lord was 6ft 2ins according to his gun licence. Personally I think that you cannot judge a person's height by' from the waist up 'shots when the people concerned are in different footwear. I go back to the photo of Parker and Elvis which does show their true heights as they are barefooted, so we can discount the other photos such as the one with Jack Lord. Parker was 6ft and so it seems was Elvis. No footwear involved in this photograph. With the army documents, driving licence, gold suit measurements and the Ed Parker photo the evidence is overwhelming to support that Elvis was indeed a six foot male. I personally cannot change my view having met Ed Parker and seeing this 6ft male standing next to Elvis.. I don't think that I can add anymore, having seen other 6ft males on this site with little evidence supporting their height I fail to see why Elvis is now not upgraded to 6ft. Thank you

Just because someone claims Ed Parker was 6' doesn't mean it was true. I've been told people's heights, only to discover it was inflated. I have a friend who swears he's 6'2" yet it's obvious he's barely 5'11".
Elvis was no taller than Milton Berle. Berle was considerably shorter than Basil Rathbone. And Rathbone was two inches shorter than Red Skelton!

Click Here Hi GX79, I'm very well thanks, please cut and paste the above, it's the best I can do. Steve, Ed Parker is the grey haired male on Elvis' right and having met him I can confirm is 6ft tall. I have spent 33 years taking people's height and so i am quite interested in the subject as well as being an Elvis fan for over 50 years, which is how I met Ed Parker. I am very good at estimating peoples height and sometimes people say that they are shorter than they really are! I closely studied Ed Parker in order to compare his height to Elvis', and this is why I am certain that the 6ft readings are accurate. I do appreciate how photos can distort people's height, however if you are able to see this photo you can see that Elvis and Ed Parker are standing shoulder to shoulder, barefooted which helps to make a very good comparison with someone who is also listed as being 6ft tall (Parker), together with my own assessment following the time I met him.I hope this helps.

Steve, Ed Parker is the grey haired male on Elvis' right and having met him I can confirm is 6ft tall. I have spent 33 years taking people's height and so i am quite interested in the subject as well as being an Elvis fan for over 50 years, which is how I met Ed Parker. I am very good at estimating peoples height and sometimes people say that they are shorter than they really are! I closely studied Ed Parker in order to compare his height to Elvis', and this is why I am certain that the 6ft readings are accurate.

Then Milton Berle was a tad over six feet. And Basil Rathbone was at least 6'3".
I don't buy that Elvis was any more than 5'11". He wore lifts starting in the 1960's. Anyone a tad over 6' doesn't need to wear them.

That isn't Ed Parker with Elvis Steve.The photo being referred to by jboliver is a group shot with Master Ed Parker standing on Elvis' right and Linda Thompson to his left. You can see that both Elvis and Ed are barefooted and I think that Elvis is just a tad taller out the two, which is repeated in their many photographs together, both with and without shoes. As I have mentioned I have met Ed Parker and believe him to be six foot for reasons I have already covered which is why I am therefore positive that Elvis was at least 6 feet tall and probably a tad over in bare feet .

I met Ed Patket and have previously mentioned it as I have seen a photo of Ed and Elvis, both in bare feet. I am 6ft 1in tall and I was wearing training shoes when I was standing next to him. Ed was wearing black leather shoes with small heel and I was eye to eye with him, so Ed was definitely 6 ft tall as had been stated which is why I think Elvis should be upgraded to 6ft, especially when we have documentation referring to a measurement as being 6ft without shoes.Personally I think Elvis was just slightly taller than Ed Parker

Then Milton Berle was 6'. That means so was Jerry Lewis. Seeing Lewis was three inches shorter than Fred Clark in Visit to a Small Planet, Clark had to be 6'3". If Clark was 6'3" then so was Roger Smith, both seen in Auntie Mame. Which means Henry Branden must have ben 6'6" because he towered over both actors. Gee, that means John Wayne was also 6'6" because he and Brandon were the same height in The Searchers. I think all these actors need a two inch upgrade!

You can view his measurements online for the gold lame suit and it states height without shoes and then in brackets, in stocking feet - 6 ft. This is quite significant as it is clearly stating that this height was taken when Elvis wasn't wearing shoes, so adds yet even more evidence to the 6ft argument irrespective of the army measurements!

I think we all agree that his army height wasn't two inches out like Ladd and Power, and that he was very close to the six foot mark either a tad under or over, and the army then rounded it up or down. There have been many friends of Elvis who claim both heights so who do we believe? It will never be proven so all we can go on are the official documents which none of us are disputing are out by much, and so this is why Elvis has been and will always be a six foot male.

We are told lots of things by official records. Many are proven to be not true.
The Marine Corp officially listed Tyrone Power as being 6'. He wasn't. More like 5'10".
The Army enlistment record had Alan Ladd standing 5'7". We all know that was far from being accurate. He was more like 5'5".

You can view online the discharge report for Elvis, dated 11February 1960 and the army is still stating Elvis to be 6 ft!
Elvis will always be classed as a 6ft person due to official records and also because he most probably was that height.

Your link at the top of the page clicks to 6 Army records, 5 of which state Elvis was 6 feet tall. Yet the site admin on here chooses to go with the one report which states Elvis was just under 6 feet. Bit mean-spirited don't you think?
[Editor Rob: I'm going with the fact that Elvis has been seen to have been measured in boots At 6ft 1/2 inch. He could be 5ft 11.5 without footwear, mean-spirited might be giving him 5ft 11 and saying the boots were 1.5 inches.]
Rob if 6'0.5" was with boots on and you have the proof of it I don't understand why you still keep him at 5'11.75"? All kinds of boots give at least 1" I think almost 6' is a more than optimistic for him!
5'11.25-11.5" would be much better!

Odd but he looks in 6' range there was in Journey I think he looked around 5'9.5-5'10 range with James Mason. 5'9 might be too low for Boone.

Elvis claimed "an even 6ft" in the 1950s, even when the publicity machine sometimes claimed taller. He was perhaps a little less "with it" at times when he said things in the '70s.

Photos are frequently misleading though Steve. There are examples on this very site where Rob has more than one pic of himself with a celeb and the height difference doesn't look the same in both. For all the pics where Elvis looks more 5'11, there are also pics where he looks a comfortable 6ft. Take this one with 5'6 Gary Player:

The posture of both doesn't make it easy to judge, but I don't think anyone would be surprised if there was a 6 inch difference.

The excuses are amusing such as photos prove nothing. Well neither do people saying he's 6' or more just because they believe the official line. I believe he was 5'11". Never under or over.

Hi Jboliver. My opinion has been the same for ages. I think that Elvis likely hit 6ft out of bed or even a tiny bit over and went down to 5ft 11.5 or maybe even a little under later in the day. I think that the 5'11.5 and 153 pounds stats on the driving licence that he had issued aged 17 were likely what Elvis knew himself to be from being measured and weighed. If exaggerating, you would expect him to have claimed the extra half inch to reach the 6ft. Over the next 2 or 3 years, maybe he gained that little extra so that he was 6ft for parts of the day. Hard to be certain. Lots of the 1955 and 1956 pics of Elvis backstage with other stars feature people in cowboy gear, including cowboy boots, so Elvis would tend to be at a disadvantage there. The two pics with Cash are a good example of that, with Elvis looking nearer Cash's height in one than the other.

The Jimmy Dean comparison has been raised before. Here's what I said a few months ago...
Dean looks to be around 4 inches taller, probably with a cowboy boot footwear advantage, at least in the earlier photo. I don't know how exact Dean's 6'3 is though. Look how comfortably taller a slouching Dean looks compared to Buck Owens, who was apparently 6ft (and looks it in pics with Cash):

Looks a very strong 6'3 if Owens really was 6'0.

I think a lot of pics on this site showing various people next to others supposedly taller or shorter than them can possibly still be slightly inaccurate. For example there are a couple of photos of Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash together and one has Cash quite a bit taller than Presley yet it is believed Johnny had high cowboy boots on. Now granted Cash was a tall guy but probably only slightly taller than Elvis if they both had flat footwear on. In the early days Elvis did wear very flat shoes so I guess most other guys especially on the Country circuit obviously would seem quite a bit taller than him when in concert wear ie cowboy boots or 2 or 3 inch Cuban heels. I think again the fact Military and medical forms state Elvis Presley at around 6 foot tall should be accepted as exactly that and accurate. let's face it also, most people short or tall always round up their height to the nearest and don't often mention the half or 3 qaurtet inch!. Therefore if Elvis Presley was around 5 feet 11/ 5 feet 11.75 ? That's as good as 6 foot as anyone's going to be as doubtful many ,not only Rock n Roll stars are Bang on 6 foot tall anyway in life.

I have also recently been to an exhibition in London at the O2 with artefacts from Graceland. On Elvis Presleys Army issued Driving licence it states clearly that he was 6 feet tall and even lists his weight in 1958 as only 180 pounds. it's obvious from quite a lot of footage available online or wherever that Elvis was not a short man and had long arms and legs, the dude looked a regular clothes horse, and was for the most part of his short life a very lean and lanky guy. A particular good example of his height being a six footer is the famous 1968 television show. Elvis does not appear to have much of a heel on his shoes throughout that event, yet seems to be exactly the height that the people that knew him, and indeed medical and important documents stated him to be in size.

I believe Lawford was 6' even. He and JFK were the same height. Lawford was taller than Dean Martin. Just how much taller depended on whether or not Dean was wearing lifts. Lawford was at most two inches talker than Martin.
Lawford had a bad right arm which was caused by an injury when he was a boy. He accidentally walked into a plate glass door which nearly severed his arm. He never fully regained use of it. And it appeared slightly withered. But he hid it brilliantly.

Berle didn't wear lifts. Just look at his shoes in countless videos. He was 5'10". Same height as Bob Hope in his prime.
Peter Lawford was around 6'. He and JFK were the same height. Lawford never wore lifts. There's loads of photos to study as well as films. He was two inches taller than Berle and about the same next to Dean Martin who did wear lifts. They can easily be spotted.

Also worth noting that Lawford seems to manage to look the same height, smaller and taller than Berle all in one video here - Click Here
Posture and camera angles playing a role again, as they perhaps also did with Elvis.

Lawford is in the 6ft range I think Jboliver, but can look shorter or taller. Confusing guy.

The pics with Elvis and Berle sometimes show them very similar in height and other times with Elvis around an inch taller. Depends on posture and angle I guess. Elvis was a bit of a sloucher back in the day - full of rock 'n' roll cool. :-) Not sure how you can know for sure whether or not Berle wore lifts. I'm not suggesting huge heels of course, but plenty of stars would have worn a small lift inside for a boost and they aren't easy to spot.
The Lawford pic might muddy the water as that guy's height seemed up and down against the likes of Dean Martin. Lawford either had very variable posture or there were lifts involved with either him or Martin at times.

182-183cm is the lowest I would go for him. 183cm is the better shout. He was probably 6'0 most parts of the day and during the later parts on rare occasions might dip few mm under. Don't know about 6'1 but you could argue 184-185 as out of bed height.

In my personal opinion, he was 6' even. The reson that he looked taller is, because he has long legs.My brother is 6 feet, & looks taller. Why ? Also he has long legs.

Then Milton Berle was 6' 1/2" which means loads of celebrities would need to be upgraded.
Just because it says something as fact at Graceland doesn't mean it's correct.

Lockstep, do you know where you saw the photo of Elvis and Linda Thompson? Also there is a journalist who met Elvis from the start of his career and she stated that when she met Elvis after he had joined up she saw a slimmer and taller Elvis, so perhaps he did grow after starting his national service.

Wow Steve or Stevo is all over this website and seems to be the one whom wants to be the person with the final word on most celebrities of the last 50 years lol. :-) It's amusing to see how many people on here have become obsessed with photographs and use ones that are the least flattering as proof to validate their claim. The reality is here that I've seen photos of Elvis standing next to men of 6ft 2ins like Sonny West his body guard and are of similar height. Photos never prove a thing. As for Billy Stanley I think he when he was questioned if it was really himself, well, enough said, it's childish. The FACTS ARE THE FACTS ELVIS WAS 6FT end of story. Cue Steve... !

I do recall reading Ian Bailey's account when he met Elvis backstage in 1972 with the British fan club. Many photos exist of this meeting when Elvis is standing in the middle of the group, next to Todd Slaughter, with Ian behind ( who has a moustache). Ian stated that he himself is 5ft 10ins tall but with his shoes on, which at that time had two inch heels, put him at 6ft. He was surprised that Elvis was still taller and so checked out his shoes, which were low healed loafers, which I believe were a favourite of his. It is still very difficult to guess someone's height even when you are next to them. i have measured people's height for decades and although i can usually guess correctly, i am sometimes out by an inch. I therefore believe that it is virtually impossible to gauge a person's height from photos etc. I don't think Elvis had an issue with his own height as there is plenty of footage around of him barefooted, such as Blue Hawaii and the Karate film in 1974, when he can be seen wearing boots as well as being barefooted, or with socks on, and you see Kang Rhee taking Elvis's sock off to show the crowd his ingrowing toenail.In this film he does appear to be two inches taller than 5ft 10ins Superfoot Bill Wallace,and certainly comes across as a tall male whilst barefooted.Even his girlfriends don't seem to have had an issue as Linda Thompson has apparently quoted 6ft 1ins and Ginger Alden made reference to his Army height of 5ft 11ins, and of course we all know that most of his army records show 6ft. It obviously wasn't an issue to them or Elvis, and looking at the difference between 5ft 11 3/4 and 6ft, perhaps we need to get out more!! Have a good Easter !

Another dimension that every one has overlooked. When did he stop growing? 1958 would put him at 23and 25 when he was discharged. I am 6-3" and didn't stop growing 'till I was 26 years old. There are pictures of Elvis with Linda Thompson in hospital where Elvis is in his bare feet and stood with her. She was tall 5-9" and he's a good 3" taller than her. So maybe he did end up being 6ft.

I wouldn't believe Elvis' stepbrother.
In one interview (I watched on youtube) from the 80s, I heard Elvis' stepbrother admit that he had lied previously on a controversial subject (Elvis' drug issue), and did so to avoid negative publicity on the Legend.
So willing to believe anyone else, even Pinocchio, but not Elvis' stepbrother's claim that "Elvis was indeed 6 feet tall".

5'11" is not average. Especially when Elvis was alive.
If he was 6', please explain why he was three inches shorter than 6'1" actor Jack Lord? Lord was an inch shorter than Sean Connery in Dr. No.
Why in The Trouble with Girls was he several inches shorter than actor Edward Andrews who was reportedly 6'2"?
Andrews was around 6'2" because he and James Garner were the exact same height in The Thrill of it All.
And Andrews was at least two inches shorter than Rock Hudson in Send Me No Flowers. In some angles he looked three inches shorter.
And Andrews was two inches shorter than 6'4" Leif Erickson in Tea and Sympathy.
And why was Elvis the same height as Milton Berle? If Berle was six feet then we have to elevate a lot of people who were taller than him.

I can't believe that we seem to accept people's opinions, or their brief meetings with Elvis when claiming his height to be under 6 feet, but then when we have his very own step brother, who was with Elvis for 17 years tell us that Elvis was indeed 6 feet tall, he is simply written off as being an imposter!. I think that this is very disrespectful and no wonder that Billy has given up! All I can say to you is, what if it really is Billy, would you be prepared to accept his word, or would you pick another excuse out of the sky. I have been an Elvis fan for over 50 years and so i didn't have to ask Billy whether he had ever met Elvis, because I have studied everything about Elvis, not just his height, and believe me Billy said many things in his text which i picked up on and I am absolutely positive that it really is the brother (step) of Elvis, and we should be grateful for his input. If Billy's comments together with official documentation are not enough evidence for us then we are wasting our time. The documentation alone should put Elvis at 6 feet and then we should be able to argue against this. To me we seem to have it the wrong way round, and anyone who backs up the 6 ft height is just shot down without good reason.

My mother met him when he served military time in Bad Nauheim in Germany (Bad means Bath).
He was standing right next to her, looking at posters outside a movie theater - the town was pretty boring at night. She says he was just a little taller than me (her son). I'm 176,5 cm (5'9.5). According to her, Elvis was between 179 cm (5'10.5) and 181 cm (5'11.3). HOW COULD SHE TELL? She has three brothers (5'11, 6'1 and 6'4). She says, Elvis was around the height of her youngest brother but never as tall as her middle one. BY THE WAY: Most men interested in the King's height are under the magic number of 6', I bet (like me). In Germany the magic frontier is 180 cm (to be considered tall) which is 5' 11.5. The average german male today is 5'11 compared to U.S. males 5'10.5. Elvis was tall at the time (1958 in Germany people where smaller then). Hope I could shed a light on the subject. Long live the King! He wasn't 6' but still the greatest!

TJ, you bring up a interesting point. No one is exactly spot-on a specific height if that height is to the foot. Take me. I'm about 5'9" plus maybe three-tenths of an inch. But that's in the morning out of bed. During the day, my spine compresses to where I end up around 5'9" plus a tenth of an inch.
And shoes make a big difference. If a person wears cowboy boots with 2" heels, and another who's roughly the same height is wearing deck shoes that only gains them perhaps half an inch, the person wearing the boots will seem much taller.
Elvis wore a variaty of shoes and boots. Some that to me look highly suspicios. The angle of the front of his foot tells the tail.
I think Elvis was roughly 5'11" out of bed. But with boots with 2" heels and a lift inside he could easily pull off well over 6'. Maybe as much as 6'2".
Bottom line is Elvis was taller than the average man.

With great respect to you all on here my friends films, photos, camera angles can all make us all look taller shorter fatter or thinner. But if you actually look back at all the records on Elvis over the years even when he started out proper on the Lousiana Hayride they actually billed him at 6ft 2ins and other times 6ft 1ins. All I can I say from my own point of view on a daily basis and spending 17 years with the man he was the same height as my brother Ricky at 6ft. Elvis even used to say his height on stage many times when Charlie Hodge whom was only 5ft 3ins used to adjust Elvis's Mike for his guitar on his solo sometimes on 'Are You Lonesome Tonight', Sometimes Charlie would get the mike height wrong and Elvis would joke with Charlie alittle on stage and tease him and say 'Hell Charlie I'm over 6ft and you've put the mike down to your height' but it was all just great fun and Elvis loved Charlie a lot, they were great friends. Actually on stage with his boots on Elvis always looked tall and the king. He was the most wonderful man next to Jesus Christ. I miss him everyday. Hope this all helps here but just to finish here in my opinion Elvis was 6ft and that's the least I would say he was as I seem to always remember him and my stepdaddy Vernon over 6ft.

Did Elvis ever comment on his height to you during the many years that you were with him?
Rob, don't you think that it's time to put Elvis back to 6ft?
Surely Billy's comments have real authority, us Elvis fans are fully aware of the closeness Elvis and his step brothers were.

I also would like to state for the record here there is no way in hell Elvis was lost any height when he passed away at just 42 years old. Ridiculous that anybody could assume any human could loose height at that age apart from serious medical problems. I spent almost everyday with the man and I will tell you I always looked upto him not just as my big brother but because he was a tall man of 6ft. My stepdaddy Vernon his father Vernon was a big tall man too so was his Grandmother Minnie Mae, that lady was stick thin and very tall lady too. So just to put all this rubbish to rest, Elvis the man was 6ft tall. How I know this is I was with him for 17 years almost daily. He was the King but he was my brother and with dam big long feet.:-) TCB Billy

I've been to Graceland many times, saw all his costumes and his clothing and his wedding tuxedo demonstrated completely this was a tall man of six foot. Clothing cannot be used as references to a persons height but solid evidence supports that Elvis was 6ft and that's fact. He wore size 12D boots most of the time. He was mostly a very slim man for much of his life. His prime stats were 42chest, 32/32.5 leg n waist, neck 15-16. End of story. PS: I was Elvis's stepbrother for 17 years until his death. My mum married his father. TCB Folks.

If you look at Elvis' jump suits on display at Graceland, there is no way he is over 5'10. In fact in his earlier years he must have been quite thin as the suits don't even look like he could fit in them - both in height and in girth as we remember him on TV.

Okay, "Steve"...the reason people think those things is that most solid evidence points to the contrary. You(and, quite coincidentally, "those who I mentioned"), had a habit of cherry picking photographs to support his, erm, "their" agendas. Everybody has pictures where they look shorter than they truly are. If I were a big time celebrity and had tens of thousands of stills taken of me over the years, someone could easily select a good few dozen if not more of them to make a strong, believable case that I'm only 5'6" tops(I'm a rock solid 5'8" in actuality). If you look at the big picture, it's crystal clear that Elvis was not under six feet tall. Sorry.

Tyrone Power was measured by the Marines to be 5'11&1/2". True height was around 5'10".
Glenn Ford's height reported by the Navy was 6'1". True height was 5'11".
I have people tell me things that in the end turns out not to be true. Especially people who were close to someone.
I base my opinion on what I see.
Elvis was the same height as Milton Berle. He was considerably shorter than 6'2" Edward Andrews.
There's a sort of magic number to being six feet tall. How many male celebs have lied about their height? Showbiz is filled with made up stuff.

I also go with people's testimonies, such as Joe's and also my own observations when I have met people who knew Elvis such as EdParker and Richard Davis and standing next to these people I believe that Elvis was not a lot shorter than myself (6ft1 ins), so I am firmly in the 6ft camp. I think like others on this site that there is factual and authentic documentation in existence to support Elvis being a 6 ft person compared to other celebs who don't have really anything to prove their heights. If these official documents don't prive his height then nothing ever will. What else are we waiting for?

I'd like to add, I watched several classic video clips, two with Elvis and Milton Berle. In both they're the same height.

Then I watched one with Berle and Ronald Reagan where Reagan was at least two inches taller and at times appeared to be three inches taller. That one was a kinescope from one of Berle's early TV shows.
Watch them for yourself. You be the judge.

I can't see Joe Esposito lying over something such as his height . According to another person who made an entry on Elvis Collector they have seen documentation with these two measurements,so it would be nice to see these. Again I would like to bring to notice my point about the 5 11 army measurement, surely all these heights would have been take the same way? So if they were in boots then Elvis would be in bare feet 5 10 or below which we know is incorrect. This to me supports theory that two measurements were taken, with and without boots,.

If Elvis was over six feet tall then so was Milton Berle. That means so was Bob Hope because when they were younger they were the same height. That would mean Jerry Lewis was over six feet because he and Berle were the same height, and that would mean Dean Martin was close to being six feet without lifts. Naturally that would have made John Wayne over 6'6". And since Rock Hudson was taller than Wayne he'd end up being 6'7".
See where this is going?
Elvis was most likely 5'11" barefoot and 6' in regular shoes.
And one thing I learned being an attorney, never trust the opinion of a person who was a close friend or associate of another. Do your own independent research.

Rob, if the attached army records which all apart from one show Elvis at 6ft, wouldn't the heights have been measured in a standard way, which means that at 5ft 11 in boots Elvis was under 5ft 10 which we all accept was no where near to his real height. Joe Esposito has said that they were measured both with and without boots. It would be interesting to have American service personnel who served around this time give their comments as it could add credibility to some of the views of ourselves.

If you look at his footwear in later films, those elevated him by at least two inches.
Anyway, I'm tired of arguing. I did it for a living. Now that I'm retired, I find it doesn't do much for me.
It's a crying shame that Col. Parker kept Elvis from taking on more serious parts. He was offered several that could have changed his film career.

And I've said before, if Elvis wore lifts, they should be a fraud bigger than the tale's invisible clothes of the Emperor...
The persons who actually had Elvis' footwear in their hands, say that Elvis didn't wear any lifts and that the so called were "doctor scholl" insoles. What if they say the truth?

The pics of Nixon with Bush Sr. at that time suggest that he hadn't lost height at the time he met Elvis. Not sure what Elvis had on his feet. Also not sure whether or not Nixon was prone to wearing lifts. He does tend to fluctuate in height a little in photos, but, as noted by Ramiro, photos are often misleading.
I agree that Elvis did well with westerns, Steve, and particularly Flaming Star. He was still hungry then of course. By the time of his last western, Charro, he'd pretty much given up on Hollywood.

TJ, I believe Elvis was 5'11" while Nixon was 5'10". The more I study the photos taken in the Oval Office, the more I'm convinced there was an inch difference in height.
Also, I'd like to know what shoes Elvis wore. Were they boots with big heels?
Nixon could have lost some height by age 57.
To change the subject, it's a shame Elvis didn't make more westerns. I think he had the makings to be a good actor. But he was shoved mostly into programmers.

First, Arch, I do not try to come off as being arrogant. I guess I spent too much time arguing court cases. I'm a retired attorney in my late seventies.
I base heights on what I see from a mountain of evidence. There are just too many discrepencies as far as Elvis to just flat accept he was 6'. I believe he was 5'11". No more. No less.
As for Nixon, a good friend who worked at the law firm Nixon was a brief partner at in New York told me he was surprised how short Nixon was. No more than 5'10". Like most people he thought he was close to being six feet tall.
Lets just leave it at that. Elvis was the king. I'm old enough to have owned many of his records when they were first issued. Like an idiot I gave them away.

Quick correction on Nixon's age when he met with Elvis. Nixon was 57, not 53. Still on the young side for height loss though.

Steve, do you believe that Elvis was one inch or two inches taller than Nixon? Further down you seem to suggest that 5'11 Elvis is two inches taller than Nixon, but Nixon must have dropped to 5'9 with age, and in the more recent post you suggest that Nixon was 5'10 and Elvis 5'11. My view is that Nixon would have been unlikely to have lost height by 1970 as he was only 53.
Fast forward 10 years and perhaps we'd expect to see some height loss for Nixon. Indeed, he did look shorter against Bush Sr later on than he did earlier. Bush Sr also seems to be one of those guys who stayed close to his peak height into old age. Incidentally, you posted a picture of Nixon and Bush together in 1970, with a view to showing that Nixon was 5'10 against 6'2 Bush. Is that really what the pic suggested? The gap between eyebrow and top of the head is around 4 inches for most people, so you'd expect the top of Nixon's head to be at Bush's eyebrow if there was four inches between them. That's not what the pic shows, as is clear when a line is included:
Click Here
Rightly or wrongly, that particular pic suggests a difference of nearer 2.5 inches. The real gap was probably more, but that isn't what the pic shows..
I do agree that driver's licences aren't a great source for height, but my point was that, if you are going to lie, 5'11.5 is an unusual point to stop at. If bothering to exaggerate, you'd expect someone to go to the sought after 6ft, not half inch under.
As for Shaughnessy, it's tough to really gauge the height difference with Elvis as there aren't many scenes where they are right next to each other in a full shot. One of the only shots where you get a head to toe view of the pair does suggest that Elvis was taller, though Mickey's stance might not be the best and Elvis is closer to the camera. Even with those factors, he does appear a little taller.

Steve, have you thought that you only consider the possibility of lifts if Elvis might be the wearer? Ford and Hunter were the stars, not Shaughnessy, so it wouldn't be too surprising if they were more likely to be wearing the flattering footwear. Similarly, it wouldn't be surprising if Elvis was more likely to be in lifts than Mickey of course. I do seem to be getting a vibe from you though that if Elvis is taller than expected against someone, he's probably in lifts, and if someone is tall next to Elvis, it's because Elvis is shorter than listed. Just a thought. Incidentally, I just checked out "Don't Go Near the Water" on YouTube and didn't think Ford looked taller than Shaughnessy. Maybe he did in the other movie.
We should also give some thought to the fact that it's unlikely any of these people are bang on 5'10 or 5'11 or 6'0 or 6'2. We tend to round up or down for convenience, but people don't often just happen to stop growing precisely at those points. It doesn't really matter ordinarily of course, but it's certainly a factor when being as pernickety as we are on this site.
My belief remains that Elvis probably hit 6ft out of bed, but, as we all do, lost height during the day and probably could measure 5'11.25 to 5'11.75, depending on the time. It's even possible that Elvis technically hit 6ft and didn't even know it himself.
Steve, do you believe that Elvis was one inch or two inches taller than Nixon? Further down you seem to suggest that 5'11 Elvis is two inches taller than Nixon, but Nixon must have dropped to 5'9 with age, and in the more recent post you suggest that Nixon was 5'10 and Elvis 5'11. My view is that Nixon would have been unlikely to have lost height by 1970 as he was only 53.
Fast forward 10 years and perhaps we'd expect to see some height loss for Nixon. Indeed, he did look shorter against Bush Sr later on than he did earlier. Bush Sr also seems to be one of those guys who stayed close to his peak height into old age. Incidentally, you posted a picture of Nixon and Bush together in 1970, with a view to showing that Nixon was 5'10 against 6'2 Bush. Is that really what the pic suggested? The gap between eyebrow and top of the head is around 4 inches for most people, so you'd expect the top of Nixon's head to be at Bush's eyebrow if there was four inches between them. That's not what the pic shows, as is clear when a line is included:

Rightly or wrongly, that particular pic suggests a difference of nearer 2.5 inches. The real gap was probably more, but that isn't what the pic shows..

Steve, Nixon maybe was 5'11" between his 20's and 50's, and after was a bit shorter, but i really doubt he was under 5'10.5" during his presidential mandatory.
About the pictures, we don't know what kind of shoes wore Elvis, maybe he had on something like cowboy's boots...
About Reagan, i guess he was for sure 6'0.5" in the beginning of his career (he looked that next to actors like John Wayne) while after, when he was president i think he was in the 5'11.5"-5'11.75" range...

For the record Steve, I think you're a valuable contributor and often have some good posts, anecdotes and links, but I'm just saying that a lot of others might find you a bit of a know it all and sure of yourself over heights!

For instance you'll say "By the way, Reagan was no more than 6' by the time he was president. He was in his seventies." . Most other users would say "Reagan looked no more than 6 ft while he was president, probably 5'11 range". You say HE WAS.

Yes, Steve, it i s a site where we can debate heights, but the way you word your posts comes across as if it is a pure fact they were the height you think they were rather than guesswork, as if you've really met them all and measured them formally. It comes with all the arrogance of somebody like Frank2, a veteran of the industry, who is adamant he is always right about everything and delivered in a fashion which at times can be a little unpleasant towards some of the stars, you remind me very much of him.

"Furthermore, don't know if you noticed, but Nixon wore shoes with quite short heels. There's a pic where we can see Kennedy wearing quite big heels"
Well, they look like regular laced oxfords to me.
Kennedy was two inches taller than Nixon. No question about it. There's just too much evidence proving it to be true.
Click Here
Notice producer Don Hewitt who was 5'7" is five inches shorter than JFK and three inches shorter than Nixon.
I like photos where the subjects are all the same distance from the camera. That's the most accurate way using photos to judge heights.

Well Ramiro, if photos are totally unreliable, as is watching movies, then unless we actually met those celebs now deceased, or meet the people listed on this website who are still among the living, bringing along a tape measure, then everything is pure conjecture.
I don't accept official heights. Even the military screws up. They've listed several famous celebs who served at the wrong height. Never under mind you. Always over.
Driver's livences are hardly reliable. One of the least innacurrate sources.
Presidents had their height fudged. It goes on all the time.
By the way, Reagan was no more than 6' by the time he was president. He was in his seventies.

Nixon was 5'10". So was Bob Hope and so was Eisenhower.
Bob Hope lost the most height of the three. By the time he was in his seventies he dropped to 5'8".
What's interesting is Eisenhower was in his sixties when he was president. Yet he didn't appear to lose height.
Nixon lost some height with age.

Chuckie, tailors always measure for trausers with shoes on. And I never saw a tailer take out a tape measure to measure a person's height so we must assume Elvis's tailor was estimating. And estimating with Elvis's shoes on.

Say it Steve, Sinatra wasn't concerned about his height and never wore lifts, ha ha ha ha. Pics and more pics proving one thing and the contrary.
Did you noticed the long head Nixon had? Let's look not only to shoulders. Reagan was 6'1'' and Ford 6'.

Steve, I don't put pics to begin a war of photographs with you. I put them to show how different impressions we take from one pic to another; even the same pic with different cut, or pics taken at the same place and time. Deceiving visual effects are not only in the pics you decide.
Furthermore, don't know if you noticed, but Nixon wore shoes with quite short heels. There's a pic where we can see Kennedy wearing quite big heels in his shoes.

Chuckie, in the book you showed, there isn't a word pronounced by Lansky. And a 6' tall person can be just under 6' throughout the day and still being a 6' feet tall man (or woman).

Here's something to consider. Actor Mickey Shaughnessy was the exact same height as Elvis in Jailhouse Rock. But Shaughnessy was at least two inches shorter than 6' Tab Hunter as well as 6' Robert F. Simon in the western Gunman's Walk.
Shaughnessy was an inch shorter than 5'11" Glenn Ford in both The Sheepman and Don't Go Near the Water.

Just found this quote, describing Elvis' tailor Mr. Lansky who describes Elvis as "just under six feet tall", a 40 suit, a 32 inch waist, 31 inseam and size 12 shoe. Click Here
Recently some of Elvis' shoes he wore in the 1950's were auctioned off, and they were a size 10. So it appears, Elvis' shoe size had changed.

TJ, heights listed on driver's licenses are among the least reliable source of info. Most people fib about their height. This is true of both men and women. My sister-in-law worked for the DMV and confirmed this. She used to laugh when someone obviously under average height would add an inch, sometimes up to three inches.

Elvis' recently auctioned first driving licence, issued when he had just turned 17, says he was 5'11.5 and 153 pounds at the time. He was very skinny as a teenager, so that does make sense. To be so precise about weight and height does suggest that this was accurate at the time. Also, if he was claiming to be taller than he was, wouldn't he have been more likely to just say 6ft, rather than leave himself half an inch below? However, even this was his height two months after his 17th birthday, it doesn't necessarily tell us his final adult height. He could easily have gained a small amount more and just as easily might have peaked.
