Alexandra Paul, at an exact 5ft 10 (177.8 cm), brought a statuesque presence to her role as Stephanie Holden on the hit 1990s series Baywatch, where her tall, athletic build enhanced her glamorous lifeguard image.
On set, she stood taller than Gena Lee Nolin at 5'9", while Nicole Eggert required apple boxes to match her commanding height, as Paul herself noted.
Starting as a model in New York, she launched her acting career with a breakout role in John Carpenter's Christine (1983), her impressive stature becoming a defining asset throughout her career as an actress and activist.
