Candy Clark, precisely 5ft 7 (170.2 cm) tall, is an American actress and model whose statuesque height has been central to her career image. Known for breakout roles in American Graffiti (1973) and The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976), her height stood out during the American Graffiti audition, where she noted co-star Charlie Martin Smith was 5'4", initially doubting her fit but ultimately securing the part that highlighted her commanding presence.
