She was also super tall, but that's just Lucy Lawless being her fabulous, 5'10'' self. This kiwi actress went on to star in other fun productions such as "Parks and Recreation" and "My Life Is Murder," but she will always be Xena in our hearts.
Lisa Leslie - 6'5" (195 cm)
We know, including a pro-basketball player in a list of tall women is not super original. But we're going to do it anyway. WNBA player Lisa Leslie is practically the league incarnate.
All 6'5'' of her are not only fabulous on the court but also had cameos in films like "Inconceivable" and "What Men Want." Her Olympic gold is just the icing on that tall, tall cake.
Lizzo - 5'10" (177 cm)
Pop sensation, musician, flutist, and overall diva, Lizzo is 5'10'' tall. It's just one of the million things she loves about her body, and we are here for it!
We have a feeling that her stage presence would be hard to ignore even if she was only 5' tall, but we'll take however many inches we can get.
Zendaya - 5'10" (178 cm)
"Euphoria" star Zendaya stands tall compared to her costars at 5'10". Since her days on Disney's "Shake It Up" alongside Bella Thorne, Zendaya has gone on to star in some of Hollywood's biggest hits. Zendaya has even won two Primetime Emmy awards for her performance on "Euphoria," making her the youngest recipient of the award in her category.
She's also gained notoriety from her on-screen-turned-off-screen romance with Tom Holland. Because of the height differences between him and his girlfriend, some stunts in the Spiderman movies had to use a little bit of movie magic to make it look like he was taller than him. It seems everything is looking up for this tall drink of water!
Iggy Azalea - 5'9" (175 cm)
She took the charts by storm in 2014 with her hit single, "Fancy," featuring Charli XCX, but Iggy Azalea soon lost steam. The Australian rapper is an impressive 5'9" tall, and her confident demeanor is definitely the kind that makes her stand out in a crowd.
After a few years in and out of the spotlight, Azalea released her third studio album in 2021 and has since hinted that that might mark the start of her official retirement from the music industry. That being said, her 2023 album, "Hotter Than Hell," seems to be sending us a different message. Only time will tell!
Megan Thee Stallion - 5'9" (175 cm)
2020 was the year of the female rap artist, and no one proved this more than Megan Thee Stallion, who struts her stuff at 5'9". Exactly 150 years after women got the right to vote, rap divas command authority while asserting their femininity.
She got to collaborate with other A-list female rappers such as Cardi B (in their single "WAP") and Saweetie ("Best Friend"). Both of them, by the way, are unsurprisingly shorter than Megan. Her chart-topping album "Good News" has been great news for Thee Stallion producing three singles. Apple named her “Breakthrough Artist of the Year,” and this tall rapper is reaching new heights every day.
Whitney Cummings - 5'11" (182 cm)
Whitney Cummings is a comedian, actress, writer, director, producer, and podcaster — and she comes in at a notable 5'11! Cummings attended The University of Pittsburgh in the pursuit of becoming a journalist. However, after graduating with her degree in journalism, she decided to pursue something else, moved to LA, and worked on MTV's “Punk’d.”
Since then, she has performed four comedy specials, created two shows, “2 Broke Girls” and “Whitney," and launched her podcast “Good for You” with her friend, comedian Benton Ray. She continues to push the boundaries of comedy and adds her own flair, which is unique and thought-provoking.
Vanessa Redgrave - 5'11" (182 cm)
Vanessa Redgrave has spent the past six decades in the spotlight. Thanks to her natural talent and hard work, the 5'11" British actress is one of the few people who have achieved the Triple Crown of Acting — where a performer has won a Tony Award, Emmy Award, and Academy Award in the acting categories.
Born in 1937, it's impressive that Redgrave is still active in Hollywood, but she is! You might remember seeing her in films like "Howards End," "Letters to Juliet," and "Atonement." Not only that, but Redgrave has dedicated much of her life to political activism — the fire of which likely keeps her young.
Jerry Hall - 6' (183 cm)
Perhaps better known for her romantic partners than her personal accolades, Jerry Hall has nevertheless made a name for herself. She is known for being the former partner of Mick Jagger, with whom she had four children. Apparently, the 5′ 10″ Jagger didn't mind her towering over him.
She also married media magnate Rupert Murdoch in 2016, ultimately splitting from him in 2022. Amazingly, Murdoch is exactly the same height as Jagger! Looks like Hall has a type. Hall did have her own career, though. She was an accomplished model for many years — no doubt partly due to her 6' stature.
Brenda Strong - 6' (183 cm)
Brenda Strong is an actress best known for her roles in "Seinfeld" and "Twin Peaks." Although, perhaps her most recognizable role is one in which she was hardly seen. Strong played Mary Alice Young in the iconic series "Desperate Housewives."
If that character's name doesn't ring a bell, don't worry about it — while not recognized as a member of the main cast, she is the narrator of the series heard in every episode. Strong stands at an impressive 6' — a feature that undoubtedly factored into her being crowned Miss Arizona back in 1980.
Kim Wayans - 6' (183 cm)
The Wayans brothers have been Hollywood staples since the 90s. However, did you know there is also a famous Wayans sister? It's true! The family glory is not a testosterone-only thing. Kim Wayans is one of the ten Wayans siblings of showbiz royalty, and an accomplished actress in her own right.
Don't think Kim gets lost among the crowd just because she comes from a big family; she's 6' tall and full of talent. Wayans is best known for her role in "In Living Color" (a project written and produced by her brothers), and she was a writer on "My Wife and Kids."
Elle Fanning - 5'9" (175 cm)
Elle Fanning may be the younger sister of Dakota Fanning, but she trumps her big sis in height, standing proud at 5'9". Elle has really made a name for herself, with leading roles in "Maleficent" and "Super 8." Her height has also opened another set of doors — modeling.
Fanning has had coveted brand deals with names like Miu Miu and Marc Jacobs. Since 2022, she's been the face of the luxury perfume brand Paco Rabanne. Adding a few more centimeters to her height are the crown and period wigs she wears in her Hulu show, "The Great," where she plays Catherine the Great (who, by the way, stood at a much shorter 5′ 2″.)
Laila Ali - 5'10" (178 cm)
Most people don't know that the legendary boxer Muhammad Ali, widely known as the best boxer of all time, had a beautiful daughter named Laila Ali. What even fewer people know is that by the young age of 18, she had already debuted as a talented and tough boxer.
Just like her father, Ali has shown great skills in the ring and has been undefeated for her entire eight years of boxing. With those specs, it's unsurprising to learn that Ali is a towering 5'10" tall. Although she has already retired from the sport, many consider her to be one of (if not) the best female boxers in history.
Christine Baranski - 5'10" (178 cm)
Similar to many actors and actresses alike, Christine studied at the respected Juilliard School. She has influenced the acting world with her formal and respectable appearance and voice. And dynamite doesn't always come in small packages — this leading lady is 5'10" tall!
Christine Baranski is a very talented actress and has used her talents both on stage and on screen. The two-time Tony winner has starred in the hit series "The Good Fight," and also appeared in the movie adaptation of "Mamma Mia," where she flaunted her triple-threat status as an actress, singer, and dancer! The beautiful Baranski is constantly working on new projects.
Catherine Bell - 5'10" (178 cm)
Following her eight-year-long stint with "JAG," Catherine Bell continued to appear in hit shows like "Law & Order" and "King and Maxwell" and became widely known for starring in films like "The Good Witch." This highly-acclaimed actress is hard to miss in a crowd, standing at 5'10" tall. In 2006, she received a Saturn Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress on Television for her performance in "The Triangle."
Her height must be an advantage when the actress engages in some of her favorite physical activities, like kickboxing and motorcycling. Bell, who is of British-Iranian descent, was married to producer and writer Adam Beason from 1994 to 2011 and began dating photographer Brooke Daniels in 2012.
Jennifer Coolidge - 5'10" (178 cm)
Jennifer Coolidge is a familiar face in Hollywood - partly thanks to her being 5'10! Coolidge has starred in "American Pie," "2 Broke Girls," and "A Cinderella Story" alongside Hilary Duff. Coolidge is best known for comedic roles, but she actually always dreamed of taking on more serious and dramatic roles while at college. She got to fulfill this dream when she was cast as Tanya in "The White Lotus" — a role which ultimately won her an Emmy and a Golden Globe!
Fun fact: Coolidge spent some time waitressing in New York (as is a right of passage in Hollywood), and worked alongside fellow soon-to-be-famous actress Sandra Bullock.
Minnie Driver - 5'10" (178 cm)
Minnie Driver is a beloved British actress who has starred in hits like "The Phantom of the Opera" and "Good Will Hunting." Driver even received an Academy Award nomination for her role in "Good Will Hunting" in 1997. Despite her name, there's nothing "mini" about her. This British bombshell has been making heads turn for years, no doubt helped by the fact she is 5'10" tall and knows how to command attention.
Following the release of "Good Will Hunting," there was plenty of hype that surrounded the actress. She wasn’t able to live up to it, though, and has never really established herself as a household name.
Lauren Graham - 5'9" (175 cm)
Lauren Graham played the (very) young mom, Lorelai, on the hit show "Gilmore Girls" but that's far from being the only thing she's done. Her film creds include "Sweet November," "Bad Santa," "The Pacifier," "Because I Said So," and "Evan Almighty." Her television roles have had the same major influence on her career, like her major role in the show "Parenthood."
Lauren also reprised her role as Lorelai in the "Gilmore Girls" revival season, "Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life." Graham is one of Hollywood's taller actresses at 5'9" — something you could see clearly enough when Graham stands next to her castmates.
Camila Alves - 5'9" (175 cm)
She's best known for being the wife of Hollywood heartthrob Matthew McConaughey, but Camila Alves had already made a name for herself before her marriage in 2012. Alves is a Brazillian model, which makes sense given that she's 5'9" tall.
She was a brand ambassador for Macy's, but largely featured in editorials. Alves is also an entrepreneur, having started her own lifestyle website and co-owning an organic food company. Another impressive project of hers is the children's book she has co-authored with Adam Mansbach. Titled "Just Try One Bite", it was published in 2022 and became a New York Times bestseller.
