@ little sue & Sara - That’s very interesting and to make matters more interesting a character of 5’6” was called short! 5’6” is a pretty tall height and Ruth does give me the impression of being tall!

Love Ruth Wilson, she’s always great and I’m now binge watching His dark materials.
But I honestly thought that she was above 5ft7, she always looks quite tall in movies.

Woof. She was the best Jane Eyre to date. I don't care how tall she is, she's magnificent. Currently adoring her in His Dark Materials. Anyone else?

She’s shorter, I think 5’5.25” at 166 cm

Gives the impression of thoroughly average height most of the time. She's got some serious acting chops BTW. Rob, would you The Affair to her list of known-fors?

that's what I was thinking little sue. every time a character in Jane Eyre remarked on how small she is, i scoffed. 5'6" is not small. it's not tall either, but it definitely isn't short.

And she played Jane Eyre who was supposed to be about 4ft 11!!
