Gilda Radner, precisely 5ft 6 (167.6 cm) tall, was an American comedian and actress whose compact frame amplified her explosive energy and comedic timing on stage and screen.
As an original Saturday Night Live cast member from 1975 to 1980, she embodied characters like Roseanne Roseannadanna and Emily Litella, using her 5ft 6 height to deliver outsized physical humor and satirical bite that defined the show's early success.
In her memoir It's Always Something, Radner described her own "five foot six frame," underscoring how her stature fueled her versatile performances in Broadway's Gilda Radner Live From New York and films like The Woman in Red.
Winning multiple Emmys, she left a lasting legacy through her work and the Gilda Radner Familial Ovarian Cancer Registry.
