You have a better pool of men to pick from. Not that I really have a problem with short men. It's usually not the tall women who have an issue with the short man. It's the other way around; the men have the problem with it. I think they are just generally nervous around taller women. They feel less masculine or something. They are intimidated. It's not their fault. Society says that men need to be bigger and stronger, and they must protect their women and so on.
I'm 5'9½" and I weigh 121 pounds.

Here with 176 cms tall Serena Williams. The difference is about 3 cms but the footwear adds 4 more cms, so 176 + 7 = 183 again.

Nature says we are as we are as we are! A lot of women have taller ancestors than a lot of men, small is just as good as tall!

In this video it is quite clear she is at least 1 inch taller than 179 cm tall Brooke Shields.

Considering this and the 20 pictures I've sent earlier it's obvious she must be at least 182-183 cm. Please update accordingly.

That last quote of hers is so true
Intevel said on 11/Jul/17
Rob do you think Alt is taller than 5 ft 10.5 or Brooke Shields is a little shorter than 5 ft 10.5? It's apparent that now Alt is a little taller than her.
Editor Rob
Shields can seem 5ft 10 flat at times...

Here with her husband who is 191 cm tall:

Similar posture, Carol has high heeled shoes which adds about 7 cms, Alexei's shoes adds about 3 cms. Carol is about 2 cms smaller in this picture.
So 191cm - 2 - 7 + 3 = 185 cm again

183 cm evening height
ahoj said on 23/Mar/17
Roshumba Williams is listed between 180-183 cms.
On all the bellow pictures Carol is at least as tall, but more likely 2-3 cms taller than her. It puts her again somewhere between 182..185 range. Do we have some evidence that she is <180, besides those 2 or 3 pictures mentioned earlier?

Rob, I write a special request to you here.. as lots of people are added in my wishlist... (I try to reduce them thanks to u) So, I request Beverly Johnson, first black model appeared on the Cover of Vogue Usa. She has claimed 5'9 several times and she deserves a page.
ahoj said on 5/Dec/16
If she would say 5'0" would that be also true following the same logic?
Anyways here is she standing next to 6'4 Bud Spencer Click Here
It again looks like at least 6'0 if not more.
Scott said on 4/Dec/16
Hey, if the lady says "five-foot-ten and a half'' more than once, I'd say she's the listed height.
Arch Stanton said on 4/Dec/16
Rob, a typo I think with American supermodel's
ahoj said on 18/Sep/16
With 178 cm Pantaeva... The same 5-6 cms difference again:

Click Here

185 cm looks more valid.
Editor Rob
with Natasha Henstridge she looks a couple of inches taller for sure, but then I don't think Natasha is standing as well. The most I'd argue would be 5ft 11.
J.Lee said on 14/Sep/16
Rob do you think she is 5 ft 11?
Editor Rob
she can pull off looking that tall, but maybe she was measured one time under 5ft 11 and has stuck with it.
ahoj said on 1/Sep/16
Standing close to 178 cm tall Irina Pantaeva. That's clearly not 1 cm difference:

ahoj said on 3/Aug/16
Even on the youtube video mentioned by J.Lee she is clearly 1-2 inches taller than Brooke. If Brooke is 180 cm that would put Carol at 183-185 cm range. If Brooke is 6' tall, Carol must be around 6'1-6'2.
J.Lee said on 10/Jun/16
Rob based on Ahoj's pics, Carol Alt really does look 6 feet tall. She is much taller than those 5 foot 10 women daniela pestova and Rachel Hunter
MaryAnne said on 24/Jan/16
Could you add supermodel Beverly Johnson? She has been one of the subjects of cases connected with Bill Cosby. She has claimed 5'9 a few times.

Also I request supermodel Kim Alexis. She is listed 177-176 meters.
ahoj said on 29/Nov/15
Also if you check these pictures comparing Carol with Brooke Shields (even if Brooke is "only" 180 cm), the same 184-186 range applies:

These are about 20 pictures all of them clearly showing she is at least 5-8 cms taller than what she states about her height.
I don't quite understand what is the point of saying she is almost half a head shorter than her real height. Maybe the so called consumer society...
ahoj said on 13/Sep/15
Looking around on editorial.gettyimages.com and checking her with some other well known models I had the impression that she is actually about 5 cms taller then what she says about her height, around 185 cm.
ahoj said on 11/Sep/15
Hi,

Even if Brooke is only 179 cm, on those pictures Carol seems to be around 5 cms taller, which gives her 184 cm.

It can be actually true checking the following picture. Carol is taller than all the other models by at least 5-10 cms. For instance Petra, who is on her left and listed as being 179 cms looks 10 cms shorter.

I would change her to 183 cms at least.

In this photo Carol is clearly taller than 180cm tall Daniela:

Maybe 184-186 range?
Editor Rob
she can pull off looking 5ft 11, but near 6ft I can't quite see that.

Rob, I found some interesting videos, photos of height comparisons with Carol Alt and Brooke Shields. After looking at them I think you can conclude Carol is fairly taller than Brooke, so you may need to either downgrade Brook or upgrade Carol. Here are the links below

Carol looks very tall in Beyond Justice with Rutger Hauer.

Hey Rob! Any idea on how tall Carol Alt really is? I've seen her listed at 5'9 1/2 in some sites. Do you think she really is 5'10 1/2 barefoot?
Kristy said on 11/Sep/11
She looks 5"10 to me. Not like Angelina Jolie who says she is 5"7 but is really 5"5 lol

Brad said on 15/Aug/08
I was 7" taller than her and she was in heels. 5' 10.5" is correct.
Nat said on 27/Jan/08
I don't know because on celebrity apprentice, 6 foot (according to the site) Jenny Finch TOWERS over her and they always wearing the same heels.
IR said on 20/Jan/08
Carol Alt might actually be 5'11"
Anonymous said on 4/Feb/07
Rob, when she says 5'8 is the perfect height, i think she means for a female, it is the perfect height, NOT for males! the perfect height for males is 6'0

Editor Rob
I know...

I've met 3 or 4 times Carol Alt here in Italy (Milan). Last time I've seen her was last December in Milan (Via Montenapoleone). She had on women boot's without heels, (only about 1.25 inch). I had on normal dress shoes with about 1 or 1.25 inch on and I was exactly her height. I am 5'10.25 barefoot (178cm) so she is 178 cm too.P.S. Rob excuse me if I've not sent to you the pics of the italian premiere of Rocky Balboa. I had problems and I was unable to make a photo with Sylvester Stallone. I have a lot of pics with italian vips but was quite impossible with Sly.However I've seen his shoes. He had on 3.5 inchs elevator shoes. He appeared 6'0.5 in that occasion. So he should be a strong 5'9" barefoot.
Brad said on 2/Dec/06
I ran into her at Madison Square Garden once. No b.s., she was over 6' in heels. Gorgeous eyes.

Her modelling agency only gives her the 5ft 10.

Another quote from where she mentioned her height on espn: "You have a better pool of men to pick from. Not that I really have a problem with short men. It's usually not the tall women who have an issue with the short man. It's the other way around; the men have the problem with it. I think they are just generally nervous around taller women. They feel less masculine or something. They are intimidated. It's not their fault. Society says that men need to be bigger and stronger, and they must protect their women and so on."
