RIP indeed. Seemed like a lovely person. I didn't think of her as tall, so 5 ft 6 seems about right.

I met Olivia at a Christmas party in 1988 for her company Koala Blue. She was very nice and down to earth but at leas 1.5 perhaps even 2 inches shorter than my 5’7” height. I would say a strong 5’5”, no more

I through she was taller!, like 1,70(5'7), she has that classic beauty and had long legs when she was young, one of the most beautiful women i ever seen, she gets 5'6.5 for me!

🎂😄🎈 Happy Birthday Olivia! 🎈😄🎂
Wishing ONJ a Very Happy 71st Birthday!
Still can't get over that she's 5ft6! I thought 5ft4 - 5ft4.5 at most.
I'm not docking her height too much on her Birthday though...
5ft5.5 - by now.

I inadvertently found Olivia's height online while looking for Fenella Fielding, because both have been in the news. I am really surprised that she is as tall as 5ft6 because I read that she was 5ft4 and found it easy to believe. Still, I have never seen 'Grease' in its entirety, just little bits of it, so maybe I should! Compared to the 6ft John Travolta, she did look 5ft4 to my eyes, anyway...
5ft6 it shall be!

@ Scarlett Rose - I enjoyed the end of your comment and your choice of emojis!
I thought ONJ was about an average 5ft4 or 5! I am quite surprised that she is 5ft6!

@ Julie. I think jpdb is pulling your leg, winding you up, yanking your chain. No way is ONJ petite. She has long arms and your arm span is your natural height. My mother taught me that as a teenager. ONJ is above average in height, but I wouldn't say 5 feet, 8 inches tall.
@ jpdb. What a load of 🐓 and 🐂 or even 🐂💩, you wind-up merchant 😝

Jpdb - Sorry, but you're wrong. I've met Olivia on several occasions and stood next to Her when she wore flat tennis shoes (after she played a charity tennis match). She is 5'6" (without heels). She is the same height as me, maybe even 1/2" taller. How tall are you? She has a petite frame but she is definitely 5'6". I'll post my pic with her to prove it :)

She's 5' 6" on the nose. At 5' 3" that would make Glenn 5'4".

I met her at a neighborhood picnic in Malibu in 2002, and she's not 5'6". I would guess she's closer to 5'3" or 5'4" at the most. Very tiny. And she had flats on for sure, since it was a casual party with neighbors.

Hurley is about 5'6/5'7. I actually read that in a newspaper article, saying that although Hurley is a "modest 5'6" , she has 40 ins long legs or something like that...
