Gloria Swanson's Height
4ft 11 (149.9 cm)
American actress best remembered for starring in Sunset Boulevard, Sadie Thompson, Father Takes a Wife and Queen Kelly. Her buspass had her height listed at 5ft. She was quoted in a 1980 People article as saying: "I'm only 5'½" tall, so I'd add two or maybe three inches to my legs. I know I give a much taller impression"”but that's until I stand next to someone else"
I'm a shrimp. I'm only five-foot-two. But I learned to fool people into thinking I was taller long ago when I first entered the movies.
I weigh 112 or so. I'm five feet two. For my age and my height, I'm supposed to weigh 138. Now if I weighed 138, I'd be a ball and I'd roll in here.

Gloria may not be 5' tall, but her presence is at least 10 feet. The gorgeous and divine Miss Swanson was still stunning and doing a wonderful tango in her 80s. She was fabulous.
"Remember Dahlings, any morning you wake up is WONDERFUL. "
On her gravestone.

I'm very surprised to see she was that short! She always seemed much taller to me. AT LEAST 1.70 m.

I've seen a lot of her movies, and I really didn't get an idea she is that short, while comparing with other actors...
