Carrie Fisher's Height
5ft 1 (154.9 cm)
American actress, best remembered for her iconic role as Princess Leia in the Star Wars films. In an interview with Madonna in 1991 she said "At my height, I'd like to boss a group of men around. I'm five one and a half, and it's incredibly important to me. Except that I stoop, which is attractive. I have one of those dowager's bumps; it's from reading when I was a kid". Earlier than that she also said: "I'm 5'1" and my legs end almost right after they start. People think I'm taller. I meet people and they say, 'You're soooo short' as if I didn't know this fact". In this photo, Carrie had about 0.5 inch more footwear than me.
5ft 8 Rob and Carrie (1956 - 2016) @ LFCC 2014
I'm 5 feet, 1 ½ inches. Three inches less and I'd be a certified midget. I've worked with 100 midgets in two pictures: 'Under the Rainbow' and 'Return of the Jedi.' I feel like Snow White among the Dwarfs, but without the elevator shoes. Everywhere I go, I run into Munchkins and Ewoks. They love me, because they can look me straight in the eye. If only my mother had married a basketball player.
-- 1985
Oh, [Carrie] says she's 5-foot-1, but she's not.
- Debbie Reynolds
My personality is normally large, but I make life look pretty small - because I'm only 5-foot 1.

I saw Carrie starring in a film on the Horror Channel over the weekend called 'The Burbs'. Carrie played the wife of Tom Hanks, and she looked weeny next to him. She even looked tiny next to a blonde girl whose height I checked out online and found she was 5ft5. Next to Carrie, she looked really rather tall!

⭐ It's only just occurred to me - Carrie was still a teenager when she first starred as Princess Leia in Star Wars.
I'd never really given the matter much thought before!

One of the few genuinely plain women to become (sort of) a movie star. Smart girl and an excellent actress. Check out the clip from the movie Shampoo on YouTube.
Interesting that short women are less than thrilled about their height. You wouldn't think this would be an issue with girls, or at least nothing like the handicap it is for men. Because she was short she was able to marry Paul Simon, who was an inch taller. The marriage didn't last, but in theroy it must have seemed an excellent match: Two small, extremely brainy and rather unhappy people who were roughly equals in the great physical attractiveness sweepstakes.

I am really quite saddened that Carrie Fisher passed away. She was 14 years younger than Harrison Ford. She was 21 years old in 1977 when Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope was released. In 1983, with the release of Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi, she was 27 to Ford's 41. It's very saddening. I recently just watched all three original films and her character really grew on me, I just think it's such a shame, there was no reason for her to depart this world that soon.

Carrie would have turned 63 today. Her shock death three years ago was so unexpected. She'd not long been on the Ellen DeGeneres show, and Ellen paid a special tribute to her. They were great friends.

It certainly was hard on anybody who saw 5'1" Carrie Fisher's three Star Wars movie when Carrie died two years ago,and doubtless the death of her 5'3" mommy Debbie Reynolds broke my heart too,but I tried picturing one time "But suppose 5'3" Jodie Foster ended up as Princess Leia in the three Star Wars movies Carrie starred in. Would they have the immense popularity they have now?" Likely. But when The Return Of The Jedi debuted in 1983,I saw a story about Carrie in People magazine in which she was told to lose 30 pounds or Jodie Foster would have gotten Carrie's role. Now it is true with my petite friends how noticeable any weight gains my friends Alice Annette or Joanie would run into and I've also explained how petite women who are expecting a new "bundle of joy" often feel like "overstuffed meatballs" or like a robber stole a truckload of bowling balls and jammed the pilfered bowling balls right down her! But Carrie was perfect to be Princess Leia. RIP,sweet petite Carrie and Debbie!

Well, I looked at the Star Wars character height chart and Leia was 5’. But I think she’s a little more than 5’1. And thank you, Carrie Fisher for being our favorite feisty and confident space princess:) R.I.P Miss Fisher

When younger, she looked a little bit shorter than her mother debbie reynolds. So i think:
Peak debbie: solid 5'1
Peak carrie: weak 5'1

she probably was 5 ft 1, I met her as a roughly 5 ft 7/5 ft 8 13 year old and and trust me she was short even though she had some charisma (something we often associate with height) in Star Wars and even though she called out Luke Skywalker for being too short to be a Stormtrooper.

I followed Carrie's career as a teenager, when she was my favourite actress. In most interviews, she claimed to be 5 feet, 1 inch tall like her mother, Debbie Reynolds, but in one interview, she said she was "barely five feet tall". I was compared to Carrie as a teenager and in my twenties. I had long hair like Princess Leia, we were both born in October, Zodiac sign Libra and both about the same height and weight. God bless, Carrie and rest in peace.

She was a small woman but very pretty and fine. 155cm I think is ok for her.
Her death was a surprise. We'll never forget carrie. I hope the force is with her forever.

I'm 5ft 3 ". I always thought Carrie was 5ft 2". I remember Carrie saying in an interview that she weighed around 118 at the start of her 3rd Star Wars movie & to fit in the Jabba the Hut barge slave outfit, they told her she had to lose 10lbs in like 2 weeks. She said she weighed a "whooping" 108 lbs when she swung across Jabba's barge deck. I don't mind being called "short" what I hate is when I tell people what I weigh & my desired weight of 120 lbs and everyone acts like omg that's too skinny. Then when I get down there, same people say, you look great, don't get too skinny like you said before. Huh?? Doesn't help that I come from a very tall family. I have great Aunts & Grandmother taller than me. My great grandfather was 6'5". Everyone is always patting me on my head grrr. Alot of people don't realize average heights are 5'4" women & 5'91/2" men. My sons are all over 6'. As a person ages they always lose height, just one if those things. Ok my guess 5'2" but later yrs probably 5'1" I have noticed movie stars are the only ones that seem to grow taller? Hmm....Julia Roberts for one gesh whatever...who cares?

Was married to Paul Simon, who is very short. So an interesting point: was her size an important consideration to Simon when he married her?
I think so yes, and vice versa perhaps, she looks painfully small and unwell in some photographs, wouldn't surprise me if she had a major complex about it and would be too intimidated with a tall husband.

Was married to Paul Simon, who is very short. So an interesting point: was her size an important consideration to Simon when he married her? I'd be interested in the marital parings of short rich guys. That is, how many marry shorter women, even though their money and social status would leave them the option of choosing taller women?
Or an interesting obverse: How many tall men marry very short women? I myself am a foot taller than my wife, but I never really thought about her height when we were courting. An interesting point: when you're a tall guy, tall women will give you a quick look as a potential boyfriend no matter how otherwise unacceptable you are. I suspect that if you're short you'd better have some other advantage if you're going to try for a tall girl. Although Michael J. Fox was known to do quite well when he was young.

Wasn't it well known she was five foot exactly? I heard that many years ago. Also, if the Star Wars website says 150cm that is only 4'11". Maybe 153cm is the tallest she'd be. A common problem is people sometimes think 5ft is 150cm due to calculation errors.

I had no idea that Carrie Fisher is only 5ft1 but I do know that the lady is full of personality and fun! I have enjoyed her interviews enormously and I like the fact that she dotes on her canine friends!
It is always great to see Carrie making an appearance in horror adventure films like 'Sorority Row'. I know there are more, but I cannot think of their titles off the top of my equally-close-to-the-ground head!
I don't know either if she is still married to Paul Simon, but as he is a fine musician with a fine mind, I think it speaks volumes for Carrie as a person that they got together to make for a very interesting showbiz couple! Not to mention that he will have been the envy of countless Princess Leah fans who would have loved to trade places with him...
It would be great to see more of Carrie in future films!

You'll be standing straighter in no time.

Had such a crush on her as a youngster after seeing Star Wars at the cinema. Didnt realise she was this tiny. Good things small packages right?.

I think Star Wars is the movie with the greatest height differences between the main actors, it was over a meter difference between the highest actor Peter Mayhew / Chewbacca, and the lowest actor Kenny Baker / R2-D2.

I really loved princess leia's gold bikini, but I hope she skips the bikini in Star Wars 7, something tells me that would not be the same ;-)

Editor Rob I never had time to really speak to her, but of course she is in it, since she was based in England for a while filming with others like mark/harrison. How much they are in it is a big question...

You know that a dowager's hump exists because of muscular imbalance. She could do isometric exercises for the neck, and start standing straight within a week.
I see so many people standing shorter than they could, all because of that hump. Its muscular imbalance, I tell you.

Nice Rob glad you finally have Carrie listed on the site, how old is she Rob? i heard shes somewhere in her mid 50s or something and could she be more 5ft 0.5 today?

Editor Rob yes it's possible but harder to tell as I think she generally - as she said in the quote above - holds any great posture. She had a dog in this photoshoot, which was very well behaved, it was checking each person out, making sure they weren't from the bad side of the force.
I never got her auto so really couldn't say much, but she was nice with people from what I heard.

Editor Rob yes and fortunately no dog - in the afternoon at that event she sat down and had her dog on the stool and whilst I love dogs myself, there were a few people who didn't like the idea and it's understandable. You want a photo with carrie fisher, not carrie and her dog. Unless the dog was dressed as Yoda, THEN I'd have got it!

@Rob, so am I to assume you only managed to get a photo on the Sunday, when she sat down for her shoot? I know you don't host third-party photos anymore, but I got a photo with her on Saturday, when she stood, if it's any help to you: (hope the link works)

I'm 6'0" by the way. I was wearing boots, I can't provide a photo of the exact pair I had on, but they were a similar style to this: Click Here
I'd estimate they'd give about 1.5 inches? Anyway, Carrie had on small Cuban-style heels, something like this: Click Here
If I had to guess I'd say she probably had at least 1/2 inch more footwear than me? What do you think, anyway?

Editor Rob glad you managed to get her, I don't think your boots would give that much more than an inch...although Jenny said to me after I got Michael that she thought we'd spoken to you briefly at another event as you looked familiar...and I certainly haven't spoken to any 6ft guys who visit the site for a while ;) I will keep an eye out in the future for you!

Editor Rob yes I have done that for a couple of people in the past as for me it is a waste of money, I have little interest in spending money on a photo with a celebrity sitting down :)
to be fair I once saw Gates mcFadden sitting on a Saturday and then standing on the Sunday...so it is never a guarantee and I've seen James Marsters standing then he got annoyed with some women groping him a little and said no more 'gimme a stool' to the photographer!
We'll see on the day...

Did you compare their footwear? Fisher is short at around 5'1", but Oprah is known to wear mega heels. Also, when heavy people like her sit next to slimmer folks, they appear much bigger, too. But yeah, Reynolds and Fisher are short, but not 4 ft.

I just saw Carrie Fisher on Oprah and Oprah looked like an amazon woman. She never looked that way to me before with any of her guests so I thought Debbie Reynolds and Carrie both must be 4 feet tall or something.

Editor Rob: Carrie Fisher usually always says she's 5'1, but here she states once that she is 5'1 and a half. I think her peak when younger probably is, when I see younger pictures of her this seems believable. Do you think now she is about 5'1 and could have maybe lost half an inch?

Carrie Fisher is my favorite actress from Star Wars! Although I like Natalie Portman, her acting in Star Wars was weak. Carrie had a lot more energy, and connected better with her castmates. I read recently that Carrie was told by some ppl that she was too fat to play Princess Leia! She was 5'1" and weighed 105lbs.

I don't know,Colin. I saw pictures of her next to Elizabeth Taylor (whose peak was 5'4) and Holly Hunter (who's 5'2) and she didn't look shorter than either one of them. Besides, you don't know what someone definitely is until you measure them!

I met Ms Fisher at a book signing over in West Hollywood last night and stood right next to her. She is definitely not over 5 feet tall in height, even standing perfectly erect, not that this should really matter to anybody but her. I must say however that she is an absolutely charming lady with a wonderful sense of humor and politely answered everybody

I have seen Carrie Fisher with her mother, Debbie Reynolds, at special events. Debbie Reynolds is sometimes listed as 5'2 and often wears very high heels to certain events and Carrie Fisher appears a little taller than her. She can't be shorter than 5'1 at the least, I think she appears shorter to people because she often stoops. I have seen her with Paul Simon with similar shoes and they appear about the same size. Her peak was probably about 5ft 1.5in like stated above.

I thought her frame looked taller in each successive star wars film. In ROTJ she almost looked leggy. But in comparison to the other actors she never looked as tall as 5-1.
