Carole Landis, precisely 5ft 5 ½ (166.4 cm) tall, embodied the glamorous pin-up ideal of 1940s Hollywood with her perfectly proportioned stature that accentuated her bombshell image.
Bleaching her hair blonde and adopting the name after Carole Lombard, Landis's height contributed to her allure in roles like the prehistoric beauty in One Million B.C., the sultry lead in I Wake Up Screaming, and the ghostly charmer in Topper Returns.
A 1942 profile highlighted her 5ft 5 ½ frame at 116 pounds, central to her status as a top Fox starlet and WWII-era icon.
