I always wear low shoes...I'm so tall you know - 5 feet 8.- 1944
I'm five feet, eight and a half inches.- 1946
[I'm] Five Nine.- As Time Goes By
Ingrid Bergman was a tall chunk of beautiful leading lady. Don't look for any full shots of her standing next to anybody...- George Kennedy
There was Bogart and Charles Boyer and Claude Rains, all smaller than me. I always took my shoes off for them but they still had to stand on boxes.
When I started shooting 'Anastasia' I met Yul Brynner on the set and realized at once that he was shorter. I suggested putting a little block under him. He turned round and said to me: 'You think I want to play it standing on a box. I will show the world what a big horse you are.' Maybe some actresses would have walked out but I just laughed and I never had a complex about my height after that.
-- 1971
