PS It’s RANDOLPH. I thought it was RANDALPH, and I see my autocorrect changed it on a number of occasions, but it should have been Randolph throughout.

If Boardwalk Empire were true, Esther Randolph would remind me a little of the stern Nurse Ratchet in One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest. As a young woman, I wager that Mildred Ratchet was beautiful of face, and also very tall. Now if
Esther Randalph continued fighting crime, what with the likelihood of sending criminals to their deaths, her face would harden up too.
There was a great opportunity to compare Julianne with Steve Buscemi a moment ago, and I don’t regret going over 5ft9 for her at all.

Julianne plays a solicitor in Boardwalk Empire, one Miss Randalph it sounds like, and she TOWERS over Kelly MacDonald and is quite superior in the way she treats people to say the least. 🤥
She is in Court when Nucky Thompson is charged with possession of one pint of booze. Miss Randolph has the following to say, hoping that the judge will throw the book at naughty Nucky.
“First, let me say that Mr Thompson enjoys the dubious distinction of being a premium bootlegger in the state of Atlanta City, New Jersey. The people. on a previous occasion, prosecuted Mr Thompson for solicitation of murder, (graft) extortion and multiple violations of the Volstead act. We request a fine of $2,000 and one year in a federal penitentiary.”
Nucky’s solicitor says, “Your Honour - my client is charged with possessing one pint of liquor!”
“Five dollars!” says the judge.
The judge adds to the angel-faced Randolph, “I sympathise with your desire to bring purpose to your life. However, this Courtroom is not the place to do it!”
Then Nucky pays his fine, asking, “Can you break $100?” 🤣
It definitely wasn’t Miss Randalph’s day! 😆😝🤪
5ft9.25.

Just saw Julianne Nicholson on Law and Order, Criminal Intent. She looked comparably tall next to 6'2" Chris Noth. Her bio also said she modeled in her youth. Likely she's at least 5'8". I'm guessing 5'9.5".

She is sneakily tall. When she popped up on Boardwalk Empire, you don't realize at first that she is taller than most of the men in it.

I went to school with her. She's just a touch under 6 feet. 5'11.5

She's taller than Rob and I!

She looks really tall!

Was Julianne really in 'Ally McBeal'? Well, she must have been, as it says so up top! I didn't think she was old enough TBH.
She played a professional lady in 'Boardwalk Empire' - a solicitor, I think, and starred in the scary Stephen King movie 'Storm of The Century', yet she turned up in the Brittany Murphy comedy 'Little Black Book'! What an adaptable actress - and I want to see MORE!
5ft9.25 for Julianne 😁👍💐
Sandy Cowell said on 24/Feb/19
@ Rob - Just a touch taller, if I can take my eyes off her newly longer hair! I haven't ever seen her with really long hair, and was thinking only last night that it would be very pleasing to see. It is! 😊👍
She's a very pretty girl anyway and I just LOVE her freckles. I've been fond of freckles since I was 4 or 5!

What a variety of films and TV productions Julianne Nicholson has starred in! Only last year, I watched her play a part in the epic series 'Boardwalk Empire', and previously, I saw her star alongside Brittany Murphy in 'Little Black Book', but even when I saw that, I felt wound up because I'd seen her in other things, but couldn't think what!
Maybe one of them was Stephen King's 'Storm of the Century', which I am watching again for the first time since it was serialised on television. She's so far been the tallest woman in this and I DID remember that she was 5ft9! She has just been controlled by eerie stranger to the town, Andre Linoge, and killed her boyfriend (or ex; I'm not 100% on that one) with Linoge's cane, which has conveniently been left hanging around outside a shop. Linoge is imprisoned and the cane was with him, so how it got out by itself is proving to be yet another great mystery. This stranger can get inside people's heads, causing them to do things that are completely out of character.
Julianne gets 5ft9, but at times she can come over as more. Maybe that's down to shoes though!

She did look like she would be taller than someone like

Sam said on 12th December, 2014, that he's not a fan of the short hair! This is common amongst guys I find AND some girls! But if anyone can carry off a short hairstyle, Julianne can with her height and slenderness.
Sandy Cowell said on 3/Feb/17
I noticed that Julianne was very tall in the film 'Little Black Book', wherein you can see her with 5ft3 Brittany Murphy! I was stunned in fact! It was the first thing I took in: her height! That doesn't often happen to me. I thought "there has to be at LEAST half a foot there!" She can be seen with the equally small Kathy Bates in that film as well.
I'm going for the taller option of 5ft10! In the above picture, Julianne doesn't wear high heels. If she did, she'd exceed 6ft by quite a few inches!
Deena said on 23/Nov/16
Julianne and Julia Roberts are both in flat shoes and Julianne clearly had a few inches on top of Julia Roberts. If Julia Roberts is 5'9'' then Julianne is around 5'10'' or 5'11'' Link here

I think she's underrated in terms of being kind of a sexy take-charge-type older woman for me, once again not as big of a fan of the short hair though.

She's indeed more than one inch taller than Roberts in August:Osage County.
From the TIFF premiere:

Julia is in heels, while Julianne is wearing shoes that don't give her much height, yet she's still marginally taller.
In this one, she looks obviously taller than Chris Cooper, who's listed 5'10", but may be closer to 5'9":

5'10" seems likelier for Julianne.
Just said on 8/Jan/14
Julia Roberts is only 5'8. So Julianne is 5'9"5 or 5'10 max.
smoothie said on 24/Jul/13
Absolutely. She's 5'11. Take a look at the pictures of her and Julia Roberts walking hand-in-hand. Julia Roberts is 5'9" and Julianne is obviously at least a couple of inches taller. They seem to be wearing identical short-heel boots.
Cliff said on 16/Sep/12
I agree that she's closer to 5'11". There's a shot of her standing next to Kelly McDonald during season two of Boardwalk, Kelly is in high-heels & Julianne is in loafers with a very small heel and the height difference is staggering. McDonald (who's about 5'2") barely reaches Julianne's shoulders.
ender said on 15/Aug/12
In a GLAMOUR magazine spread, she said "People think that because I'm 5'11", I can get away with wearing anything..." She's clearly taller than 5'9".

She looks almost as tall as Chris Noth in criminal intent.
