Her performance in Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore is one of my all-time favourite film performances. Particularly as I now know the tunes she was singing in it like "Where or When" and "Gone With the Wind" very well! 5 ft 6 maybe could look slightly generous at times, a chance of 5'5 and change. Fabulous actress and looks a nice person.

Ellen looks considerably taller than Linda Blair but I noticed that she DOES wear quite high heels.
Not more than 5ft6.

Shouldn’t you give her a current height rob? Maybe it depends on the footwear and her posture but she looks barely 5’4 now

Editor Robcould be down to that range nowadays, never realised she was nearly 90.

i would give her 5'5 range peak at the most. she was a good couple inches shorter than art carney in harry and tonto and she was wearing heels.

Well, having just mentioned that I get Ellen Burstyn and Ellen Barkin mixed up on the name front, I couldn't do one without the other!
I blurted out, "I don't believe it!" in true 'Victor Meldrew' style when I read that they are identical heights as well! How very interesting! I thought this Ellen was 5ft4 or 5, but that's bound to be because she looked considerably smaller than Max Von Sydow in 'the Exorcist'!
(For those of you who don't know, 'Victor Meldrew' is a fictitious and funny typical moany old man from a British sitcom called, 'One Foot in the Grave'!)
