Ally Sheedy, precisely 5ft 5 (165.1 cm) tall, brought a petite, relatable intensity to her iconic 1980s roles. Her height perfectly complemented the quirky, introspective Allison in The Breakfast Club, enhancing her image as the quintessential outsider. She also shone in Short Circuit as the tech-savvy Stephanie and WarGames, while her commanding presence at this stature earned her the Independent Spirit Award for Best Female Lead in High Art (1998).
