Charlize Theron
Charlize Theron has also had to grapple with her height in a way that few others have. The actress discussed playing a woman much shorter than herself in a 2004 interview with The Advocate to promote her Academy Award-winning performance as serial killer Aileen Wuornos. According to Theron, “This is a woman who was 5’3″ – which I couldn’t believe – but appears to be 6 foot 4 [inches].”
Mandy Moore
Mandy Moore informed Indiana’s The Times in 2004: “I’m 5’10” now, and I love being a tall woman. I was fairly average until the age of 14, when I went through a growth spurt in which I gained four inches in one summer. I felt a little gangly at first, but now I’m proud.” Moore is actually taller than Milo Ventimiglia, the actor who plays her husband on This Is Us.
