The Tallest Actresses In Hollywood
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.
Move over, Reese Witherspoon: Mandy Moore is America’s sweetheart now. The performer has had a renaissance over the last few years, thanks to her role on the hit NBC series, “This Is Us.” She stands at 5 feet 10 inches, just a tad taller than actor Milo Ventimiglia, who plays her husband on the show.
Adriana Lima is best known for her status as a Victoria’s Secret Angel. But the Brazilian supermodel is no stranger to acting, either. Lima and her 5-foot, 10-inch frame have appeared on two CBS sitcoms, “How I Met Your Mother” and “The Crazy Ones.”
