David Niven, precisely 5ft 11 ¼ (181 cm) tall, embodied the elegant British gentleman whose statuesque height enhanced his sophisticated screen image in Classic Hollywood.
His commanding 181 cm frame brought poise to iconic roles in A Matter of Life and Death, The Pink Panther, The Bishop's Wife, and Around the World in 80 Days. Niven's height amplified his charm in Separate Tables, earning him an Academy Award, and added gravitas to adventures like 55 Days at Peking and The Guns of Navarone.
- Ideal stature for suave spies in Casino Royale and My Man Godfrey.
- Distinguished presence in Wuthering Heights.
