American actress best known for roles in Reality Bites, Mystery Men, Wet Hot American Summer and Dogma. She was very candid when talking to BUST magazine about her height, admitting that the only thing about herself she liked was being short and "people in general, I find lower to the ground more appealing. I'm used to short people. I'm 5'1", my sister's 4'11", my brother's 5'6", mom 5'2", father 5'7", so I'm very comfortable around dwarves, and all my extended family is very tiny and most of my friends have been on the very short side."How tall is Janeane GarofaloPhoto by PR Photos
I’m five-foot-one and weighed 160 pounds, so I didn’t even have to try not to be social. When I got to college, it was more of the same: 160-pound exile.

I'm 5 foot 1 and, depending on the day, I can go anywhere between 120 and 150 pounds. It's crazy to be that short and that wide in Hollywood.
