This girl puts the T in tall! There is a certain symmetry about the above photograph, a photograph of 3 cool adults!

She's over 60 years old and still not enough confidence to stand to her full height :( guessing her is hard.

Sure not seeing it in the pic, Rob, even accounting for her slouching a bit.
I'd give her 5'9 1/2", tops. Still a very tall lady.

Editor RobUnfortunately she rarely stands tall, so I think over 5ft 10 is fair, because she looks it (when standing tall).

May be 5’10/5’10.5 but I agree with Rob she may not stand straight due to her height and also trying to “blend in”

Rob, do you think the reason why she doesn't stand at her tallest in photos is because she's insecure?

Editor Rob as a tall lady, she might have felt a bit aware of being quite tall when growing up and just developed a style of posing to look shorter.

She does look this in Mad Max 2. That photo doesn't do her height justice at all...

Editor Rob I don't think I've ever seen Virginia stand tall in photo ops, although I would have said she looked taller than Mike Tyson that weekend...with less footwear.

Maybe she is 5'10.5 but in the picture she had a very bad posture. I saw pothos of her alone with a good posture and she appear to be a tall women, but with people her back is bowed, maybe it is intentional.

Definitely not 5'11.5", I doubt she was ever near 6', I'd say 5'10" absolute maximum - probably closer to 5'9".

It looks like she's 175cm (5'9") maximum. She doesn't look that taller than you two do.

Shes really a height guessers nightmare. If a 4,11 person stood next to her she would simply bend right over to be as small as them lol.

She's dropping a lot of height with her posture and she has a 0.5" footwear disadvantage. If she's taller than Tyson as Rob states, she's no less than her listing. I trust Rob, he's a legit height expert.

my few gal cousins and i would agree virginia hey had most worse posture for tall female celebrity in pics. she look 5ft10ish in tv screen, very bad bad posture in pics 5ft7-5ft9 best. very less chance see her stand up well. i believe 5ft10.5 if she stand still.
miss-hey is very near height proportion to 5ft11 kristanna loken in tv.

She's still very pretty, at ALMOST 60! Wow! The difference in her height, which she's quoted on her blog, could over a period of time, which could be due to legitimate shrinking. Many people, especially women start to shrink an inch or so from age 40 and on. So maybe she was about 5'11" and now is 5'9.5". Sounds plausible. Then again, maybe she fudged a little by adding an inch here and there, and that's why she now looks only about an inch taller than Rob. But that's why we're here.
Lastly, I am not sure why anyone thinks she's tiny; she looks like a hearty gal; beautiful but hearty.

I'd say no more than 5-9. She looks taller due to her frame.

Well she is not a giant person, but certainly she is quite tall for a woman and she is a beautiful lady.

Just look at the size of those paws... Most women who are this tall retain feminine traits, but she really is a big lady.

If she is at least 179 then it confirms that Mel Gibson is as listed--5'9.5". In "Road Warrior" all they needed was to put Gibson closer to the camera while wearing his boots and no height difference is noticed. No box work necessary.

Editor Rob the more I think, the more she looked at least 179cm and no I don't have a number ;) I am surprised if she is 57 years old in that photo, she looked 10 years younger.

Editor Rob I believe she was no less than 5ft 10, but then taking account she had less footwear I doubt less than 179cm.
in fact she looked more of a 5ft 10 (not accounting footwear) than Tyson did that day...

Rob is that her standing straight? if so shes 5'8.5 add half inch probably 175-176 at most!? why 179?
Editor Rob
this photo was not worth putting on the front page as she drops height in most photos I've seen her taking with fans. Even with me doing a preemptive lean there, she still dropped 3cm more height than me...

Wait a minute, she looks the same height as Rob and Jenny, maybe even shorter despite the disadvantage. Maybe her proportions is making her look taller. Women can inflate their heights too, not just downsize. I swear, Rob is not good at guessing heights sometimes.

lol @ very giant person. She's not. I don't even see 5'10.5" let alone 5'11.5". I know she has a .5" footware disadvantage but still.
