I would have fight 1/4 upgrade for MEW. Compare to 5'9 claim Emily Deschanel who often look like a weak 5'8 wouldn't be surprise if there is 1/2" between Mary and Emily.

In the US, 5’8 is around the 95th percentile for a woman - meaning a 5’8 woman is taller than about 95 percent of other women. 5’1 is about the 15th percentile, which means shorter than 85 percent of women, making it closer to average. The average height for women is about 5’3.5.
Anyhow I think Mary is 5’8 but not any taller. Not sure why people think she’s taller than that...

After just seeing Gemini Man, there's no way she's 5'8 unless she was wearing considerable footwear and/or shoelifts. She looked two inches shorter than Will Smith at most, who's nothing more than 6'2.

Most honest actress claiming morning height which they're 1/4 less. I can see MEW claim her honest low. Shes more like a full 5'8 1/8 like Rob and her best friend Amanda Crew is always 2cm taller than her so 175cm and 173cm respectively.

Always lovely and I'm sure her's is an honest claim. Having recently watched season 3 of Fargo, she looked a bit taller but was often in well heeled boots I believe.

@Sulu2019 - It varies depending on your genetics, ethnic/ancestry group and sometimes your social economic status as well. As Many poorer Americans likely don't have access to the same sleeping and eating patterns that richer Americans do.
I'm met just as much women who were closer to 5'1 or 5'8. Especially since I've worked and traveled to places with people whose ancestry is all over the world.

172.7cm is hard to guess on. Most common on looking by sights will be 172, 172.5cm and 173cm. I did say she don't look 174cm much likely she is 5'8 1/8 like Rob as her lower height in the day.

I think she’s 174 cm she’s downgrading her height a little to have the perfect 5’8” mark, nevertheless I totally love her and she’s one of my favourite actresses and I never miss out her movies 😎🍿

Skecher & Subwoof are V WRONG when they state that Winstead is 174 - 175 + cms tall. Just look at the recent pics of her & new boyfriend Ewan McGregor. I’m on about the most recent ones where both Winstead & McGregor are out on a date, hand in hand, wearing black leather jackets & identical heeled boots (the ones of them dressed up as bikers). From them, it’s obvious to see that Winstead is 1.5 to 2 inches (4 to 5 cm) shorter than 5 ft 9.5 inch (176.5 cm) McGregor (in identical heels)! So 5 ft 7.5 to 5 ft 8 tall is perfect for MEW. However, Engineer IS RIGHT when he states that Winstead is taller than McGregor in high heels, lol! By the way, Winstead & McGregor make a v beautiful couple.

Rob would you add 10 Cloverfield Lane to her credits? A good not great movie with a monumental John Goodman performance. Winstead is quite good in it too and very easy on the eyes to boot.

I totally agree with Sam (who obviously has v impeccable taste) - she is indeed one of the hotter actresses around today. That mix of pale white skin with dark eyes, dark hair, innocent looks, & curvy figure - just like a chubbier version of Ann Hathaway - is totally irresistible! Rob & team have got it dead on, for me, when they quote 5 ft 8. I like her best in scary monster sci fi movies ('The Thing' & '10 Cloverfield Lane'), simply coz they r my fav type of movie.

This isn't really a good way of measuring someone's height, in fact it's a little silly but... I was watching Deathproof the other week and there's a scene where MEW goes to get a soda from a machine before she turns around and stands in front of the machine, pretty close to it. We have exactly the same model/type of drinks dispenser machine thingy at the place I work. So, anyway, I paused the DVD and checked where she came up to when standing tall, in front of the machine. She comes to exactly the same place I do (a good few inches from the top) and I'm 5ft 8.5in which means the above height is exactly right. Contrived but that's what happens when you're watching a movie that isn't particularly involving and a voice in your head says "Hey, that's the same Soda can dispenser we have at the factory!"

most likely closer to 5'8 but sometimes she looks a little taller than 5'8 people so I'd say 5'8 minimum and 5'9 max.
