Rob, this picture is 10 years old( Click Here), but it shows that Ms Agutter is at the same height as Scarlett Johansson(5'3").As we know, british actresses aften introduces theirselves with their acurate heights(but , in this case, the american one was the actress who was sincere).So i gave Jenny this humble 1,60m(and Micheal York a height very close to his Austin Powers' leading star , Mike Myers, 5'8,5" /1,74 m Click Here )

Editor RobI think she's still taller there because of the lean, but has lost height since her prime, I think at least 5ft 6 in films like Logan's Run.

I have yet to meet a man who doesn't have a soft spot for Jenny Agutter!
I am watching 'An American Werewolf in London' and have been laughing non-stop! It is SO funny! Now we have an advert break, so I have decided to say a few things about Jenny! I agree she is lovely, along with the blokes I know who do, as she's naturally beautiful and you don't seem to get many women like that now, which is such a pity!
I read an interview with Jenny in the late 70's and she was comical and self-deprecating about herself, which was surprising, but likeable. Also, she was 5ft7 and 9-and-a- half-stone.

5'6.5 really looks a better shout now I think, good find on the spotlight listing.

Cooincidentally Jenny and Judy Geeson were in Dominique is Dead together. Jenny definitely the sexier of the two. Just watch the barn scene in Equus about 2 hrs into the film and men will start to agree with me on Jenny ;-) Jenny looks on the tall side, but slim build can accentuate that.

I don't mean Walkabout, I didn't think that much of it either, I mean her later on in films like American Werewolf in London!! Though not exactly 60s. A bit skinny suppose but hot!
Judy Geeson, yeah Sue. She looked naughty ;-) My favourites though are really more Veronica Carlson, Julie Christie, Senta Berger, Ursula Andress and Raquel Welch etc..

I mean obviously there's lots of hot women around today in the entertainment industry but you know what I mean about them not only being very attractive but having that vibe about them which is often missing today.

Editor Rob some actresses can be very thin, to an extent they become less attractive.
Arch Stanton said on 5/Sep/16
Rob, I don't know what it is but I often find women from the 60s and 70s the hottest. It's not purely looks, but I think part of it is the "loose" and "free spirited" vibe which makes them hotter, you know what I mean? I'd have Jenny Agutter and Julie Christie any day above women like Kim Kardashian and Rihanna. All those swinging sixties ladies really do it for me maan. The odd thing is that I often feel like I'm part of that generation myself yet I was born in the early 80s. Inside I feel at least as old as Jenny. I must have been here before maaan!
"Glenn said on 6/Jun/06
Was Walkabout a horror movie? ;-)) " LMAO!! Sure Glenn, a horror movie in which Jenny woke up nearer 5'6.5 than 5'7! she's 5 ft 8 really, honest!
I think you could argue weak 5 ft 7 but I might be wrong.

Editor Rob actually I just checked and on her spotlight page she had 5ft 6 down.
I wasn't a fan of walkabout personally, but I can understand it's artistic appeal.

Rob can you add a photo and squeeze in Walkabout and the Survivor? Looked lovely in Walkabout, athletic body, 5'7 seems about right.

After Jenny was conceived, they should have just stopped making different sorts or heights of women. This one is perfect. And no, she'll never be "old".

Glenn you can get Walkabout on dvd in the US, it's on the Criterion label. It's letterboxed non-anamorphic but with directors commentary. A great film with a beautiful John Barry soundtarck.

Glenn - I was nipped by a vampire bat in my sleep in Mexico a few years back. Little "sucker" got under my netting and got me under my left arem [in the pit!]. Didn't know until I woke up. They lap the blood up with their tongue & inject an "anesthetic" while drinking. I felt sore in the morning, then saw the blood. Unfortunately, I had to get rabies shots as a precaution.

Jason - Well, I don't THINK the vampire bat made me immortal, but I AM healing pretty quickly. We'll see if I become sensitive to sunlight? :-) Liked Van Helsing, very campy! The Wendigo movie WAS lame. I've heard Wendigo legends recounted by a number of different Native American tribes; sort of a shape-shifting wind demon. Interesting stuff. Oddly, it sounds almost Lovecraftian.

Hey Glenn & Larry, I also love the old Universal monsters. One of my favourite movies is the new Amityville remake. And Van Helsing!! I pretty much love anything with vampires or werewolves or ghosts or witches etc. as long as it doesn't suck (defintely no pun intended!). I rented out this horror movie called ''Wendigo'' (made in 2001) on the weekend, and although I'm interested in Windigos (if you don't know, they're a mythical Native American monster, kinda like a giant cannibalistic ogre - though their form can vary), it was one of the lamest movies I've ever gotten out...! Possibly THE worst. Sorry, I missed your question here for ages, Glenn. Despite being Australian I've never seen Walkabout, though I think I know the movie. It isn't a horror movie. Larry, the vampire bat bite (ouch( didn't make you immortal? Come on, you can't tell me it had nothing to do with you surviving that accident. ;)

She was indeed in AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON & a lovely lady. She was in an excellent movie called WALKABOUT. Jason, Glenn - Yeh! I love horror movies too, especially monster movies! I guess I own almost all of The Universal Monster Classics & many of The Hammer Films. I've spent many happy hours with REAL wolves (as opposed to WEREWOLVES) and was EVEN nipped by a vampire bat once in Central Mexico. Sadly, it did NOT make me immortal, but I DID have to get rabies shots! :-)

If you watch Spooks he really isn't that tall but he's still slightly taller than Jenny in Equus. I could well believe he's only 5'7" because he's certainly less than average height. He's naked in the scene with Jenny which means that's a real height difference. According to this site Burton himself claimed to be 5'9" and maybe that's a Tom Cruise 5'9". Sally Thomsett is famously only 4'10" and Jenny is virtually a head more than her in The Railway Children.

Editor Rob it is very feasible Jenny shrank a tad now...but Burton is supposed to have been actually measured for his waxwork, back in the day when a few stars supposedly had this done ;)

If Jenny is only 5'6 then how tall was her "Equus" co-star Peter Firth? About 5'7, meaning Richard Burton was 5'7?
