Teresa Wright's Height
5ft 1 ½ (156.2 cm)
American actress, best remembered for roles in films Shadow of a Doubt, The Best Years of Our Lives, Mrs. Miniver, The Little Foxes, Enchantment, Pursued, The Actress, Count the Hours and The Pride of the Yankees. In a 1946 article it mentioned, "Teresa Wright, who stands a little over 5 feet 2 inches". She once mentioned in a 'Saturday Evening Post' "because of a fourteen-inch difference in altitude, I was afraid I couldn't reach his level, period. Gary [Cooper] is six-feet-four; I'm five-feet-two. But by standing on a platform for some scenes, and by standing on my toes during most of the rest of the picture, I managed to get over this particular hurdle."

Possible she got measured at 5 ft 2 in the morning of course and was being honest on that.

Editor Rob not impossible, but she did look quite petite really.

Yes, I think that's more likely. And if Mitchum really was the 6 ft flat he claimed bad news for her haha.

Pause at 1:34:18 there's a full body shot of Mitchum and Teresa Wright. You can see footwear there, looks at least 10 inch diff but he might have a bit of ground wear advantage. See what you think but I'm getting 5 ft 1 range more than 5'2.

If you pause at 45:09 I see easily 10 inches. Mitchum could have on cowboy boots though and her a normal heel so say Mitchum at 6'0.5 (I think 6'0.75 myself) but say that, and 6'2 range in boots. I see a tad over a head taller there so might be 10 inch range. Teresa at almost 5 ft 4 in heels, average heels 2-3 inches? I'd guess more 5'1.25-5, I think also in Mrs Miniver Greer Garson could look near 5 inches taller at times.
I'll see a few more films over next few days for some more comparisons.

Photo Rob? and films The Little Foxes, Enchantment, Pursued, The Actress and Count the Hours.
Changed my mind, Rob check out 45 minutes Click Here There she looks a good 10 inches shorter than Mitchum and you'd think some sort of heel. Plus she reckoned Cooper was 14 inches taller, which would add up if she was 5 ft 1 range!

Editor Rob yeah maybe she was a bit smaller, in some publicity stills they didn't exactly put her On a Box

5'2" range seems about right yeah, looked small in all of those films. Cotten still towers over her in Shadow of a Doubt even when she's in heels.
