BB absolutely looks tall enough in almost all her pictures. She looks tall enough but at the same time fragile like a doll. Rob do you think that 166 cm is a downgrade for her from the Google and websites. I truly think she was a strong 5'6 168.0 to 168.5 cm when she was younger. And too it doesn't make sense she's the same height as Marilyn Monroe, when BB clearly looks more lean and has taller neck and femurs, body proportions overall, her body is simply much better and feminine. BB is magnifique.

Rob, would you mind taking a quick skim through the below video and telling me whether you conclude Michel Piccoli is more 5’11.5” or 5’11.75”?

Interesting post from Marianne Lulu. Interesting to see that she's described herself at 168 cms. But she was described as 166 cms in the movie "En effeuillant la marguerite", and the script was written by her husband...who must have known his wife's height. Bardot's peak must been between 166 and 168.

Jean-Claude Brialy- 5’10.25”

Yes, 5'5.5" is ideal for Bardot's peak. Very similar to Catherine Deneuve's height.

If Bardot was only 1m66 peak, then Jean-Luc Godard couldn't have been more than 5'6.25 or so. There's an archival photo taken on the set of Le Mepris with the two of them side by side, and it's pretty revealing. I can't find it on the net anywhere. I saw it in some coffee table book on Godard's work. In short, I think BB may have in fact been at least 5'6.

When I was a naive 14-year-old girl, I found a pretty, shiny magazine down a long footpath! I brought it home and found that it was 'one of those' magazines! It contained 'Brigitte Bared' and 'Andress Undressed' amongst its offerings! It was in that magazine that I read she was 5ft6 and 8st2lbs, though I can think of more, rather reliable sources!
I couldn't work out why some of the pages were stuck together, and that's the honest truth!

Rob, what sort of height difference do you see between Bardot and Picasso here: Click Here. Granted, Picasso's old there and could have lost some height by that point, but he looks a weak 5'4 there if this listing for BB is correct IMO.

Editor Rob I'd have said she was at least 3 inches taller taking account that the angle is in Pablo's favour there.

I saw the film ANd God Created Brigette Bardot (1956), and i saw her dancing and walking and calculated that she was somewhere between 5'5 and 5'6. I decided to choose 5'5. It would seem i was right. Figuring her weight at 115 to 120 pounds i was kind of close.
I'm surprised no one mentioned her resembelnce here to Claudia Schiffer who is way taller at 5'9 or 10?
In School i sort of knew someone who looked like Brigette but her personality was quite the opposite.

Rob, she was often listed as 166 cm in the late 50s and early 60s. From photographic evidence, this is what she looks. So I think she's around an inch shorter than your listing.

Editor Rob yes, the 166 in the biography makes more sense.

she looks a couple inches shorter than her costar Trintignant from Et Dieu Crea la Femme (1.72m or 5'7 3/4"). Maybe about 2-3in less.

I've recently seen 'Les grandes manoeuvres' where a very young Bardot appears opposite Michèle Morgan. I know for a fact Michèle was 163 cm (she mentions it herself in her autobiography 'Avec ces yeux-là'. For those who want to see it, BB looks barely taller in the movie (if any).
Sadly, this is the best shot I can find:

Maybe Michèle had a footwear advantage, but if BB's official biography mentions her as 166 cm, then I believe it.
Here she's with 5'7" Anouk Aimée:

pierric, I believe the article states 1.66 meters which equals 5f5. Which sounds right to me.
Also, her weight is listed at 53kg which equals 116. Also looks perfect.

My daughter went to school in Norway with BB's granndaughter Thea Bjerkan Charriere. She told my daughter that Brigitte was only 165cm tall in her youth. Thea is a tall & slender girl, but neither of BB's grangaughters are a fraction as beautiful as her.

Phil never presented himself as if he was bothered by his height, despite the girlfriends-du-jour and/or the fans he was posing with in pictures. He may possibly wear lifts, but I've seen no evidence of it. He seems as if he's comfortable/confident with who he is, height and whatever else. And when asked, he openly admits to his actual height measurements. Doesn't look like he has an issue with it, in my opinion. =/
On a side note, the whole band is vertically challenged, except for Joe, who is of average male height.
