She is tall, that is evident. But in my country (Serbia) it is very often to see woman taller than 5'11(181cm). My girlfriend for example is 6'1(186cm) and no one in my country is surprised with her height. With the average height 5'7 171cm for women in Serbia and 6'1 (185,6cm) for males 5'11 we are on the first place in the world. Dutch are on second with 6'(183cm) and Iceland on third 5'11(181cm). I am 6'2(188cm) and no one tells me that I am tall.

I saw here last summer in Amsterdam in a shop and tried to do some comparison without letting her know. Her hands were bigger, our forearms pretty close and I outsized her biceps. But most off all, she is very beautifull!

Famke looks really, really tall. I wouldn't be surprised if she was as tall as say, 184 cm. 5'11 min, 6'0.5 max.

I've seen her in person in NYC several times - she's over 5'11", but how much I'm not sure, between 1/2 and 1 1/2 inches taller I'd say.

I'm from Holland and I'm just 5.2.5(160 cm) probaly because my family isn't that tall. The Dutch aren't the tallest people in the world anymore I guess we're third on the world ranklist now. Scandinavian people are definitly number one! I think Famke is about 5'10 or 5'11.

My wife was watching Ellen today,and I saw Famke but missed Samuel L. Jackson by a few minutes. Anyways she looked absolutely huge, when she came out. She had big heels on probably 3 plus inches, but I'm not kidding with being how skinny she is she looked like Manute Bol next to Ellen, it was hilarious. She has to be taller than 5ft11.5, with those heels she looked 6ft4 to 6ft5!

Janssen looked the same height as Treat Williams in "Deep Rising", but Janssen was in flat-heeled shoes and meanwhile Williams was wearing Caterpillar-kind of shoes. So yeah, she's definitely close to 6 ft. Crappy movie by the way!

Of course, not ALL Dutch are tall, but they are the tallest MEAN height on earth at this time. Since we're talking mean height here, the size of the population only has a limited effect. US citizens WERE the tallest, but have slipped in the ranks. Exercise, diet, health care: there could be several factors. But it's not just ethnic diversity; that's been examined. So, it's math, not myth. :-) I'm WAY over the mean height for a US citizen @ 6'5", but I'm still an American. Being an average value, there will be people who fall below OR above that by definition. Anyway, the data's well tested and can be examined on several good sites on the Web.

"The Dutch have the greatest mean height on earth today."
I'd go along with that. I feel like Peter Dinklage whenever I'm over there.
They say that the Dutch became so lofty over the years because of all the bicycle-ridin'. (I knew I should have spent more time on that Big Wheel!)

Not all Dutch are tall. That is true. But we are dealing in averages here. The average height in Holland is more than that of many other nations.
I have several Dutch friends and I have yet to meet one who is under 6 foot.

Tyler: "I am dutch as well and the average height for men in 2004 was 184 cm (unfortunately my exact height). But that includes older men as well. The average height of 19-21 year old men here is over 190 cm."
Nope, you're wrong. Please stop pulling things out of your ass. The average 21 year old man in Holland is 184.0 cm according to the most reliable study available (performed by a medical university).

Yeah, Famke was wearing flats in her appearence on the MTV movie awards with Rebecca Romijn. You could see it when they first walked out for a brief second.

Did anyone see the photo of Famke Janssen's and Rebecca Romijn in the MTV Movie Awards. serious difference with Height between them. Famke Janssen's must have been in flats.

I think her feet are well in proportion with the rest of her body...
Her feet may be long, but nog "big". By big I mean some one can have really "meaty" feet, but thats not the case, she's just got long bones.
Btw, it is BS that the average 19-21 year old male in Holland is 190 cm, more like 185. People may be tall here on average but I still tower over most people of my age at 194 cm.

Well, according to the Dutch Government the average Dutch man is 184cm. According to clothes manufacturers the latest figure for men in the Netherlands is 182cm. I know which one I'd be more inclined to go with. ;)

Size 11 feet on women is no big deal anymore. Besides the Exquisite Famke and dummy Paris, Uma Thurman, Venus Williams, Rebecca Romijn, Adrianne Curry, Tyra Banks, Geena Davis, Jerry Hall, Annie Lennox, & Brigiite Neisen, are all 11s. Most models are at least size 10s. Even Katie Holmes, Teri Hatcher, Oprah, Liz Taylor, & Ciara are 10s, and none of these ladies are over 5'8". Golfer Michelle Wie wears mens size 10.5 golf shoes, which makes her at least a womans 12. Funny thing, I'm a 5'8" transvestite and I wear a womans 9 (some sandals amd slides I can get away with an 8.5).

I am dutch as well and the average height for men in 2004 was 184 cm (unfortunately my exact height). But that includes older men as well. The average height of 19-21 year old men here is over 190 cm.
And 6 feet Famke is tall, even for a dutch woman. The average 2004 dutch lady is 173 cm. She beats that by 4 inches!
And on her feet, I think large female feet are very unattractive. Size 43 simply is a male shoesize. I read the comment below on being 'turned on' by Famke's large feet. Especially big feet like Paris Hilton's make me want to vomit actually!
But tastes differ, we say here in Holland...

A diappointment for Markus: size 11 is wpomen's size 11, which is equal to men size 9, in Europe size 43.

hey, anonymous it's not so hard to have majority of guests standing 6'+ in their bare feet; of course I don't know if this wedding was with many Dutch people but if it is, it's not that unusual over here. I'm 6' tall and have also shoes size 11(lady's size right?)43(in NL). And I can tell you it's not that odd to see almost everywhere people bigger than 6'(though most of the times it are man )Unless you're Dutch yourself, than I wouldn't know why I've said these things.
But in my opinion Famke Janssen is just 100% Dutch if you would judge on her length.

Tominca, I am 6-1 and i've been to about 2 weddings in my life. At each wedding, only 2 people stood taller than me. So, how can you have majority of guests standing 6'+ in their bare feet?

Famke carries her height so well - she was made to be nearly 6 ft tall. And her feet are so totally awesome. SIZE 11 ! - the new "it" size in women's feet. Seeing her exquisite feet with hot red nail polish in 4" heel sandals would get me excited. To kiss & caress them, and to suck on her sexy toes who make me bust a nut. I'm 5'7", and I'd even wear her highest heels to even things out, if she so desired.

I met Famke in NYC back in April. I stand about 5'10", she was at least a inch taller than I was and she was wearing flats. I'd say 5'11" is accurate.

She speaks some truth about men in Hollywood though: "Height is a big problem. There's not a lot of tall men around and they don't really want to admit their actual height"

Met Famke. She was wearing thin sandles and clearly stood 6' PLUS. That's why she has trouble getting cast these days.
