Only 5'2'? Can't be! She must be taller


IMDB info states Julie Christie is only 5'2"? Is that accurate? She can't be that short. She looks to be at least 5'6". She comes from a well-to-do family background so food nutrition couldn't have been a problem. Her body looks to be well-proportionate and that's why she can't be so small and short.

Its strange, because i have seen julie in person and she looked about 5'4. I dont think she is 5'2, more about 5'4 or minimum 5'3.

I agree, she looks way taller than that!
However it is also true, that real magnetism translates in movies in weird ways at times!
Nobody could guess how short Antonio Banderas is! For example!
JC looks at least 5'5 in person. Maybe she was certainly wearing heels and that is why!
However in films she could stand next to Sutherland or Beatty who are very tall, or,lately even next to the extraordinary tall,Tim Robbins, without looking short whatsoever!
Film magic? For sure, but, also, a very unique quality she owes! She shines in films,at times, she can pass unnoticed in person, which, i am sure she loves.
Again, however, i know she is not the tallest, i can say that even on many pictures taken live from Red Carpets or Events, She has never looked short,once!
Think about the pictures taken at the NYC Premiere of Hamlet in 1996!
She's next to Branagh, and, she looks almost his height!
So she does in most pictures she appeared with Beatty during the days!
I guess that is why she is Julie Christie, and, again,once more, there's only one of those,maybe? lol

So just bc she is 5'2 that means she's disproportioned or mal nutritioned? What an idiotic post. Its one thing to say she looks taller. But height has nothing to do with nutrition or proportions unless she is a midget which she's not.

The following website has her as 5'3". The site does a good job of finding out celebrities' true height.

yes, she is a shorty.
It's always hard to tell a person's height from a TV screen.

I've always thought she looked super shot on film. Especially in McCabe and Mrs. Miller for some reason.

My god, are you ever capable of making an intelligible post? She is 5'2" because her genetics dictated her height, not from malnutrition. But keep at it, Jeff. Your posts are always a hoot.

There are few things as fetching as a bruised ego on a beautiful angel.

imdb as been mistaken before. It says Cheryl Ladd is 5' 4". Ladd is 5' 3" ..wearing sandles.
