How tall was Simone Signoret

Sinclair said on 12/Aug/22
Admittedly, there was a scene in Le Chat, when Signoret was walking down a shopping aisle in only little heels and was looking 5'6" range. However, Jean Gabin was a good, strong 5'8" and had about three inches on Signoret in that film.

Rob, does Lino Ventura look under, on or over 5’7” with Signoret?

Hi Rob! I've just watched a documentary about Simone Signoret "Simone Signoret, un chat est un chat" 2019 by Frédéric Zamochnikoff. Her daughter (the actress Catherine Allègret) talks about Simone's height.
Here the text :
"Elle était grande pour son époque, elle était costaud, elle n'était pas grande comme Ingrid Bergman mais elle faisait 1m70 ma mère, pas loin, 1m 69-70, pour l'époque c'est beaucoup. Grande, charpentée, brune avec des yeux verts. Elle était somptueuse quoi ! “

“She was tall for her time, she was sturdy, wasn't tall as Ingrid Bergman but was not far of 1m70,1 m69-70,for the time that's a lot. Tall, well-built Ed, brunette with green eyes. She was sumptuous! “
I can sent to you the passage by mail if you want.

Click Here Hard to see 5 ft 6 in heels there though with 5'9" Werner, I think we were right to go with more 5 ft 5, but I guess she had a big presence which could make her seem a taller woman at times.

5'5.5 is possible, I doubt she was a legit 5'6".

In the movie 'Adua e le compagne' she wasn't much shorter than Sandra Milo (5'7") and wasn't towered on by character actress Gina Rovere (5'9"). I think she was 5'6".

Also, later in her life, she didn't seem much shorter than Delphine Seyrig (5'7") in the movie "Chère inconnue".

Definately around 5ft 5 to 6, pics on the film site standing next to Rock Hudson and she up to his mouth so no way as low as 5ft, one of the few Hollywood women who had plumper curves

Three more notable roles you might add Rob are The Crucible, Madame Rosa, and Casque d'or. Two of those she won BAFTAs for and the other one a David di Donatello award for best actress which she shared with Jane Fonda for Julia in 1977.

Very nice new addition, thanks. Ha if she was 5 ft, Vera Clouzot was struggling with 4 ft 6!! She had 6-7 inches on Vera I think who I estimate at 4'10-4'11. I don't think she really looked a proper 5 ft 6, 5 ft 5 seems a much better shout, I could buy 5'5.5 but no more. The biography BTW Rob said she was quite a tall actress at 5 ft 6 who was taller than a lot of the men in heels. But then again my Shania Twain biography says she was a tall girl at 5 ft 7 so I wouldn't worry too much about it :-)
