The Tallest Actresses In Hollywood
Missi Pyle has starred in more popular box-office hits than you can think of. The 5-foot-11-inch actor has had roles in the films “The Artist,” “Galaxy Quest,” “DodgeBall: A True Underdog Story,” “Big Fish,” “50 First Dates,” “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” “Gone Girl” and, most recently, “Traffik.” But acting isn’t her only love: Pyle is also one-half of the desert country-rock band, Smith & Pyle.
Kristanna Loken is an emerging action hero known for her roles in the films “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines,” “BloodRayne” and “Bounty Killer.” But the 5-foot-11 New York native is not just an actor of the silver screen. Loken has also had roles on the television series “Painkiller Jane,” “The L Word” and “Burn Notice.”
Adrianne Palicki made herself a household name as Tyra Collette on NBC’s popular drama “Friday Night Lights.” Since then, the 5-foot-11-inch performer went on to land supporting roles in the movies “Legion,” “Red Dawn” and “John Wick.” But Palicki is more than an actor: She also co-wrote the comic, “No Angel,” with her brother Eric Palicki.
Kathryn Bigelow has had a long, distinguished history behind the scenes in Hollywood. The 5-foot-11-inch director and producer is the genius behind cult classics like “Point Break” and “Near Dark.” But Bigelow made history back in 2010 when she became the first woman to win an Oscar for best director for her Iraq war film, “Zero Dark Thirty.”
Taylor Swift has a big personality — and the height to match. The award-winning country-pop singer stands at 5 feet 10 inches, without heels. Throw on a pair of Manolo Blahniks and Swift reaches well over 6 feet.
Phoebe Tonkin is an Australian actor and dancer known for her work in the 2010 action-drama, “Tomorrow, When the War Began.” The award-winning flick is based on the young adult invasion series by author John Marsden. Tonkin was among the tallest members of the cast, coming in at 5 feet 10 inches.
Before Gwendoline Christie and Gal Gadot, there was Lucy Lawless. The beloved actor from New Zealand holds a special place in television history for her role as the iconic protagonist in “Xena: Warrior Princess.” And her height — 5 feet 10 inches — matches her warrior spirit.
