Dame Harriet Walter, precisely 5ft 7 (170.2 cm) tall, is a distinguished British actress whose statuesque height enhances her elegant and authoritative screen presence. This height perfectly suits her poised portrayals in period dramas and intense roles, such as the resilient Elinor Dashwood in Sense and Sensibility, the enigmatic Briony Tallis's mother in Atonement, and the formidable Dasha, a former Olympic gymnastics champion training assassins, in Killing Eve.
- Her 5ft 7 frame commands attention in ensemble casts like Babel.
- Elevated to Dame Commander (DBE) for services to drama.
