@gaur Tom isn't much taller than her, if he looks it it's mostly from Hollywood trickery

Maybe 5’ 6 1/2”. She’s really skinny, so looks taller.
Btw, I love her quote saying that co-star Tom Cruise is 5’7”. Busted, Tom!!

At least one of Michelle Monaghan and Tom Cruise (or maybe not!) are likely to be 5'7", but who?

Maybe 5'6.75"?
She's tall-ish, but not quite tall. Her slender build makes her seem taller than she is.

Cruise comfortably in his 2-2.5' hidden lifts. In opposite way Monaghan is right at 5'7 and cruise 5'6.75

Michelle Monaghan : 5' 6.5"
Tom Cruise: 5'7"
You can see pics of Monaghan and Cruise standing side-by-side at the Mission Impossible premiere, with Monaghan in heels and Cruise in dress shoes (i.e. 1.5" footwear edge to Monaghan), and she's about 1" taller than him there.

tom cruise is taller when they both wear flats, mainly because he is not 5ft7, but more a 5ft8.25. She clearly went with the myth of his height, irrespective of working with him. Plenty of people can't juge height even when they stand next to people.
It is no myth, Tom Cruise is shorter than most think, he is surely not 5ft8.25. Take a good look at the shoes he uses at events and galas. He always uses lifts (2.75 inches) I know because I use them all the time. When using lifts your feet have a pronounced slope so the part where the laces go in most shoes is tilted forward.

All the comments are in italics FYI...if a bit too skinny at times, she's totally gorgeous. The picture above doesn't quite do her justice and she looked better than ever in True Detective. The 5'7" listing does seem dead-on.

She's sooooo good in True Detective on HBO. I think ppl are finally noticing her in a big way.
And yes, 5'7" does seem right. She is however very slim, which may make her seem a bit taller than she really is.

She did look a very similar height to Tom Cruise in MI 3 but I think Cruise was a bit taller.

every where lists this north country star as 5'8 but it can't be true, just look at her standing next to charlize in North Country! She consistently looks about a foot smaller, or at least 4-5 inches. Watch North Country, there is no doubt.
