The way his daughter described him, you'd have thought he were 5'6" or something.

Rob, could he have been 6ft1 in his prime?

Editor Rob at times he could look it, but then was he always just in normal shoes or maybe at times with cowboy heel could pull of that range.

@Mark: We are in agreement on William Smith. I just saw a screen shot of William Smith and Larry Hagman standing nose-to-nose from an episode of I Dream of Jeannie, and they looked about equal in height. I know Smith gets labeled as being 6'2", but I always thought (based on comparisons with other actors) that he was more like 6'1". Larry Hagman was no taller than Smith.

"Larry Hagman height: 6ft 0.75in (185cm)"
And Patrick Duffy a shade over 6ft2 in the early Dallas years

Shorter than Garner on an episode of The Rockford Files by, I would say, at least an inch and a half. And, he was generally a good 2 inches shorter than Duffy on the original Dallas. He was also shorter than William Smith (reportedly 6'2, but I say 6'1, based on many comparisons) from an ep of I Dream of Jeannie.I'd give him the 6.05 this site has him at, but no more.

Larry Hagman was about 1'' shorter than Patrick Duffy who is 6'2'' So I would say that 6'1'' is a more accurate depiction of his height.

I could buy 6`1 for peak, but not now - either 183 or 184.

Maybe he was 6ft1 at his peak. I think he could look it if he stood straight with Glenn.

Always listed at 6'1" and he did look it back in his "I Dream of Jeanie" days, now looking 5'11".

Nowadays he's no way over 6ft. He looks barely 3in taller than Glenn. My guess is 5ft 11in on a good day.

Larry is slouching a bit and Glenn is a tad closer to the camera. 6'1" peak and 6' today.

Top of Glenn's head is above Hagman's eyes. Doesn't that mean 3"?

I always read that Hagman was 6'1". In the movie Fail Safe he was the same height as 6'1" Henry Fonda. But I'm sure these days he's lost acouple of inches. But he did gain a new liver!

Actually Rob, you got this one right. I was standing behind old JR at Carroll O'Connor's funeral, and he is pretty much what you have him listed!

NO WAY is he 184... more like 179/180 (5'11"), it sound better, check him fairly and you see what I mean. ;-"Pallas"
