Probably more 4’11” these days, to be fair.

Rob, for Trevor Peacock, maybe 5’6” peak and 5’5” by Dibley Days?
Editor Rob
I can imagine him somewhere in 5ft 6 range peak...never saw him give a height in Spotlight though (from 1970's), but maybe earlier years he did.

Rob, would you say John Bluthal was more 5’8” or more 5’9”?

Rob, would you say Gary Waldhorn was more 5’10” or 5’11”?
Editor Rob
Didn't seem over 5ft 10 by time of Dibley, maybe even 5ft 9.5-10 but for peak maybe he cleared 5ft 10 flat.

💐💝🎊😁 Happy Birthday Dawn! 😁🎊💝💐

Birthday Greetings to Dawn French on her 63rd Birthday!

I already knew Dawn's height when I first saw her standing with husband Lenny Henry, who's a super-tall 6ft3, but if I hadn't known, I'd probably have assumed she was even less!

Have a superb Birthday, Dawn! 😁👌

5ft exactly. 🎁🌹

This seems like a good guess, but she could be slightly under or slightly over 5'0" .

I recently had my photo taken with her at Liverpool Empire Theatre. I'm a small guy (5 foot 6 inches) and was at leat 6 inches taller thn her so 5' is spot on. Jennifer saunders was in the photo too and she was exactly my height 5'6" sounds right

she was the portrait of the fat lady? whoa that's news to me! wow

she can't be that short though. next to Jennifer Saunders there's not a 5 inch difference.

Embarrassing confession 1: I work in a hospital. One day, a tiny, pretty, rotund lady asked to use the car-park. She was in a rush, but very polite and pleasant. I rang my supervisor, got an answer, and had to apologise to the visitor (who did look vaguely familiar) - car-park was not available. She took it well, and then said "Cheerio". A mate came up, and said: "Don't you know who you were just talking to?" "No," I replied. "Should I? Isn't she a patient's relative?" "No, you idiot, that was Dawn French!" We played back the security video, and there she was. Oh well. She probably wasn't in the mood to sign autographs anyway, and showed no annoyance at not being recognised. Three cheers for nice stars with no attitude!

PS Yes, 5' exactly sounds 100%.

Met Dawn French when I worked in a hotel c.1998. She was with her husband Lenny Henry and was considerably shorter than me (at 5ft 7" by this point). I'd say maybe a smidgen over 5ft though- more like 5ft 1"/2"

I think Dawn looks taller than 5 ft, more about 5'5', especially in the company of the accomplished actors she has been photographed with. Also she seems 5'5' when she appears in the portrait in the Harry Potter movie.

5ft? that's not her height that'll be her width
