Alexandra Maria Lara, precisely 5ft 8 ½ inches (174 cm) tall, is a Romanian-German actress whose commanding height enhances her poised and versatile screen presence in major films.
Her stature perfectly suited the role of Eva Braun in Downfall (2004), adding authenticity to the historical portrayal. At 174 cm, she brought elegance to Control (2007), intensity to Rush (2013), and depth to The Reader (2008) and Youth Without Youth (2007).
This height contributes to her striking image in blockbusters like Geostorm (2017), complementing her career alongside husband Sam Riley, whom she married in 2009.
