Alice Faye, the petite Hollywood icon standing exactly 5ft 2 (157.5 cm) tall, embodied an endearing charm that defined her stardom in musical films.
Her compact stature enhanced her glamorous yet approachable image, perfectly suiting lead roles in hits like In Old Chicago, Alexander's Ragtime Band, Hello, Frisco, Hello, and State Fair, where she dazzled as a singer and actress.
Faye's height contributed to her massive popularity, especially in Great Britain, making her a diminutive powerhouse of 20th Century Fox musicals.
