I was 5 feet 7. Now I'm 5 feet 5, I'm shrinking.- 1993

Height: 5 ft 6 inches- Katharine's 1927 passport

MGM Publicity Still (circa 1941)

I'm 5ft 7 and a little plus...I was tall and I was got rid of several times cos I was just tall. Now I'm short. When I play with young girls I have them walk on the down side of a hill or off the step or something because I like to be taller than they are...Spencer Tracy was about 5ft 11.- 1973

When a woman looks down on a man, it does something to his ego. It's quite extraordinary. They become so uncomfortable that they give you practically anything you ask for just to get rid of you.

I'm tall, skinny, with a lot of freckles, and I can't stop growing. I'm 5 feet 8 inches now, and I have put on an inch in the last year. You could call me an antelope: swift, lean, graceful - I hope - and freckled.-- 1951
