French actress best known for roles in films such as An American in Paris, Gigi, Lili, The Glass Slipper, Fanny, The L-Shaped Room, Father Goose, Valentino and Daddy Long Legs. In an interview from 1959 when talking about the movie 'The Man Who Understood Women', she said:
"I'm only 5 feet 3 and the director put 4-inch heels on me so I wouldn't look like a midget beside Henry [Fonda]"

Manages to look taller with Fred Astaire in Dadd Long Legs, she can look 5 ft 3 range in it.

She looked incredibly pretty in Fanny, on par with the prettiest girls in film, but in other roles could be a bit irritating and not quite so hot.

Rob any chance of adding Michael Wilding from films like In Which We Serve, Stage Fright, Under Capricorn, The Egyptian, The Glass Slipper, and Undercover? He looks like a foot taller in the Glass Slipper! 6 ft looks OK for him.

Honestly in The Glass Slipper looks 5 ft even.
Arch Stanton said on 3/Dec/14
Rob can you add Lili, The Glass Slipper, Fanny, The L-Shaped Room, Father Goose, and Valentino?

I'd say she stuggles to look even 5ft 2. Every where else has her at 5ft 1.5 which I would say is about right. Thats a clever pose she is doing to make the leg look longer, I will have to remember that one!!

Doy you think she is 5ft 2 and not 5ft 3 then Rob?
Editor Rob
I thought she looked more 5ft 2 than 3 yeah
