Emma Kenney, precisely 5ft 4½ (163.8 cm) tall, is an American actress whose petite stature perfectly complements her breakout role as the tough, resilient Debbie Gallagher in the hit series Shameless (2011-2021). Her compact height of 163.8 cm adds to the character's feisty, no-nonsense image amid the Gallagher family's chaotic world.
Born to a criminal defense lawyer mother and sports writer father, Kenney's early career highlights include voicing the Boardwalk Empire character in her youth, but Shameless solidified her as a standout talent where her 5ft 4½ frame belies her commanding screen presence.
