And so, because there has been so much interest in the ladies, I thought it would be fun to share similar information on the men. As with the first chart, you'll see that this list is organized from shortest to tallest actors. The same disclaimers exist here as far as the numbers, which come from a variety of sources. Some come from their tailors. Some come through the studios' press agents for the movie magazines (often idealized, though close to accurate). Some are simply the best guess of film historians and the current collective opinion. I also bring in my own best judgement and I'm always open to hearing your opinions as well.
Be sure to check out GlamAmor's permanent Vintage Sizes & Silhouettes page for a recently updated chart on the ladies as well as this chart for the men. And coming soon--a chart comparing the heights of our favorite onscreen couples!
