@ Sam, at her most riveting and sexiest perhaps in Cries and Whispers?
Arch Stanton said on 8/May/15
She should have won the Oscar for Face to Face, right Sam?

If Ullmann was as listed even at her peak, then Bibi Andersson couldn't have been any taller than 5'4 flat. What do you think Rob? Because Ullmann had at least two inches on her in Persona.

not sure on Bibi.

Interesting. She'd always been listed as 5'8 range, but then again, so had Claudia Cardinale.

Arch, I think 5'5.5"-5'6" is arugable for her. She could pass as 5'6" w/ Ingrid Bergman in Autumn Sonata, I'd guess she looked about 2-2.5 inches shorter than Ingrid, who probably had lost 0.5-1 in with age by then. I was surprised by how she looked almost petite next to Marvin and Hackman.

Looks fine. I'm not sure she was as low as 5'5.5 Sam.
Sam said on 5/Dec/14
More recently with Cate Blanchett she looks several inches shorter although it's possible Blanchett is in heels against Ullmann's lower shoes.

Rob, could you add the following to her credits?: Shame, Scenes from a Marriage, Autumn Sonata and Saraband.
Sam said on 5/Dec/14
Thanks for the addition, Rob! Appreciate it. Due to her lean build and slim face (think Kristen Wiig) she can seem taller but next to big fellas like Von Sydow, John Lithgow, Gene Hackman or Lee Marvin she actually can look quite a weak 5'6" actually, possible an half-inch under.

I wasn't as sure she could be sub 5ft 6, I think roughly 5ft 6 might be ok for her.
