Rob, what about 5’9” in the 1980s?
I got nothing under a 5’9” impression from Raging Bull, even maybe a big 5’9” ranger.

Need to look out for Frank in 80's to see if it's the best figure.

5-9 for decades, always had it on his pal Pesci.

i can buy this listing, though with the camera tricks on the sopranos he never looked short. at first glance he gave off a 5ft10 impression to me.
Tommy Vercetti said on 10/Jun/22
He was always listed 5’9”. So there is no need to say he was shorter than that.

I remember one scene in The Godfather 2 where Dominic was standing with AL Pacino. It was an indoor shot but the angle didn't show their full bodies. Anyway I got the impression of a 6'0-6'0.5 peak and 5'10.5ish by the time The Sopranos rolled around.

Rob, Vincent Curatola “Johnny Sack” should be another worthy Sopranos add. A real deal 5’11”.

How tall would he be standing on a shoebox?
Sinclair said on 20/May/22
Rob, I think your next Soprano conquest should be Dominic Chianese- Corrado “Junior” Soprano. An easy 5’11” peak.
Editor Rob
That's the one big one missing really...

Frank doesn’t look anywhere near 80 in the picture. I can’t help but feel that he went before his time, possibly due to the stress of show business.
It might bring you fame, fortune, recognition and popularity, but it can’t be much fun when you want to pop down to the shops and are descended upon for autographs and photos, however well-meaning the people are.
@ Rob and Sinclair - Great to see that the much celebrated show The Sopranos has its own Celebheights page now. I’ll enjoy using it when I finally get into the series, when I’ve
finished my rewatch of Boardwalk Empire. 👏😄
Sinclair said on 19/May/22
Rob, can Frank’s induction please start a well-deserved Sopranos cast tag?
Editor Rob
Yes I have added it finally.

would his wife kathleen be around 5ft 8 when barefoot then rob? as she has a bit of a footwear advantage
Editor Rob
At that point I think he could have lost a little height, but she could look 5ft 8 range.
Miss Sandy Cowell said on 19/May/22
@ Sinclair - Not a bad summary at all; in fact I’d say it’s a good supposition of average heights.
It isn’t just countries which vary though. Different parts of the same country, even if it’s a comparatively small country such as England, vary from area to area and city to city.
Sinclair said on 19/May/22
Great add, Rob! Probably no more than 5’8.5” by The Sopranos era when he was fast approaching seventy, but at the time of Raging Bull, I would have thought a solid 5’9”, small average guy.
In my opinion, for males, 5’9” is small average, 5’10” is average average and 5’11” is big average. For females, 5’4” is small average, 5’5” is average average and 5’6” is big average, in my opinion. This is just what I observe everyday, but yes, it really depends on the country and the generation. Each generation is a bit taller than the last.

How awful to see that Frank is no longer with us. Sadly, he
died of a heart attack, aged 80. 🥲
RIP Frank Vincent 🕯 XXX
(15th April 1937 - 13th September 2017)

Frank has been in some fantastic films, and I’ll be looking out for him as of today.
I have copies of Casino and Goodfellas, and I’m watching Boardwalk Empire, the exciting gangster fest. As gangster movies are Frank’s forte, I’m keeping my fingers crossed that he makes a guest appearance in Boardwalk. 🤞 There are so many actors in this, so you never know…..
It took me long enough to get into the aforementioned series, but when I started it, I was hooked immediately. I’ve a sneaking suspicion that The Sopranos would have the same effect on me.
Frank can have 5ft8.5 😀👌🏼 His thick steely grey hair could indeed give an onlooker a taller impression of his height.
