Actors Who Defy Expectation With Their Height Off Screen

Sigourney Weaver – 5’11 (180 cm)

This Alien star is just shy of six feet tall. Apparently, Weaver was already 5’10 and 1/2 at the age of 14 and only grew a bit after that. Her tall stature gave her an iconic screen presence ever since her breakout role in 1979 as Ripley in the space horror.

Her first role was actually two years prior opposite Woody Allen in Annie Hall, although she didn’t have a speaking role. She can next be seen the sequels to Avatar – the world’s highest-grossing film.
