Brenda Strong, standing tall at an exact 6ft 0 (182.9 cm), is an American actress whose impressive height has defined her commanding screen presence and elegant image. Nicknamed 'Too-Tall Jones' and 'Stretch' in her youth, she was already 5ft 11 by eighth grade, embracing her stature without hunching over.
Her towering frame enhanced iconic roles, such as the ethereal narrator Mary Alice Young on Desperate Housewives, the disciplined Captain Deladier in Starship Troopers, and Ann Ewing in the Dallas revival (2012–14). Also seen in Red Dragon, Strong's height contributes to her poised, authoritative portrayals as an actress, director, and yoga instructor.
