I think she’s close to her claim. So maybe 5’0.5”

I'm watching America's sitcom 'Superstore' and it's the first time it's been on when I've paid it my full attention - no offence!
It's Valentine's Day on the show and some shop assistant guy has just inadvertently set free a large variety of tropical birds which promptly flew out of the store entrance! Whoever stood on the automatic doors at that moment in time has a lot of accounting for ahead of him!
🐦🐦🐦
Imagine parking your car in the carpark and witnessing that? The staff are even CALLING THEM! I'd demand an encore...
😂😂😂
America's height has never been a mystery to me, even though I never watched 'Ugly Betty' - no offence! She's famous for being 5ft, but on this show, I think she passes for a touch more.

I don't think she's as low as 5' flat, I think 5'1" is a better estimate.

Aly, Rob was referring to UK sizes. In the UK, size 12 is equivalent to a US size 8. Much similar to how a US size 6 is equivalent to a UK size 10.

Editor Rob these different sizes like dress/shoe really do confuse things, I wish they could have standardised them decades ago!

Are you sure she is not 4'11. Plus, I doubt she is a size 12. She is not thin, but smaller than she was at the start of her career. She looks like a US size 8.

America is under 5f because next to her 5f2 costar, Becki Newton, she looks more than 2" shorter! America's hair was really high and she was wearing 1/2" platforms with 4" heels too. Becky was not wearing any platforms, her heels were 4" and her hair was not high. Click Here

Back then the average height for a woman and a man was 5'9, 5'8 to 5'4, 5'3.5, but nowadays the average height for a woman and a man is 5'5 to 5'10 heights do change from time to time

America is 5f or a bit under. Ana Ortiz is 5f4.5 and she is more than 5" taller than her. 5f1 is too high for her so 4f11.5 is the most I'd give her.

i dont think height has anything to do with the size of your feet. i'm 5'1 and my feet are really small. all my other friends who're like 5 or 5'1, and even 4'10 have bigger feet than mine. and oh, my cousin who's only 10 is 4'8 and has bigger feet than mine. if i try her shoes they're like one size bigger. lol.

I think 5' is perfect for her, she could even be half an inch under, even Lindsay lohan towered over her, Lindsay Lohan is not even tall.

Lindsay Lohan (5'5"?) next to America ("Ugly Betty" photo). I assume they have the same footwear since they are wearing the same apparel.

That is really only half true, Lola. That number includes everyone 20 and up from 1999 to 2002. For women 20-39, the average height is 5'-4.6" for black and white women, and 5'2.2" for Mexican-American women.

5'3.7" is the average US height for women according to the dept. health and human services. People should not be posting incorrect information, who ever said 5'5" or 5'6" is average for women, get your facts straight people. America looks a little shorter than Kelly Rippa, I just saw them next to one another on Regis and Kelly.

She might actually be 5'1". She looks shorter because she has a pretty thick frame.
And C., The average for women in most countries is still 5'4" ish.Unless you go to Holland where it's 5'8" . In other places such as Asia, Africa and Latin America average height for woman is lower than 5'4". In fact, as the population ages in most developed nations, these numbers are bound to get even lower...

My bro's ex, who was around 5'10", had the same shoe size I do (and that's a size 8). I'm around 5'5"1/2-5'6". Height has nothing to do with shoe size!

Average is 5'10" now for men, and around 5'5" for women. And I usually don't hear people calling either of those heights short, nor 5'9" of 5'4" (although 5'4" really does seem kind of below average for 20-something women nowadays). But there are exceptions.

the kidd:
Think you're right about this, but why 5'4 women get often described as "petite" if they're on average height or 5'9 guys in the army get sometimes called as "short"? This confuses me a lot, because i thought that's the average height too ...

LOL. Height has nothing to do with foot size. The average American women's shoe size is a size 8 on a woman who's 5'4-5" which personally, isn't small by any means. One of my friends who's barely 5' tall also wears size 8 shoes, which is quite big for her size. I'm tall and I have nearly the same size shoe, lol.
But, America I think is 5' even. I don't see her as anything smaller than that.

You're right, 5'4-5'5 is definitely average for women, but it variates from country to country. In japan people's average height is a lot less than in usa for example.

Isn't Glenn like 5'5" - 5'6"? Next to all petite women, he DOESN'T tower them. America looks 5'0" though.

She looked really short in Ugly Betty though. If I ever met her I'd be about 1-4 inches taller in pictures.

What is Glenn talking about? America is from a good middle class/upper middle class area in L.A. And America was a name before it was a country. The USA was named after Amerigo Vespucci. America is the feminized version. No one complains about Paris Hilton's first name representing a city in an anti-American country...

Elle yes, she is about an inch taller or slightly more than Justin now minus the heels. He is about 11 or 12, and may have grown an inch or two since the show has started. She is definitely 5 foot!

If you've seen her on Ugly Betty, you can tell she's about 5'1, 5'2. Vanessa Williams looks way taller than her and she's only about 5'6.

i saw her at jamba juice today, and she was around 5'1
she was very curvy, and didnt look as curvy as she does onscreen.
i always thought that she was pretty tall (5'5, 5'6) but i was surprised at how tiny she was
