Helen Lederer, at exactly 5ft 2 (157.5 cm), is an English comedian, writer, and actress whose petite stature has been central to her quirky, larger-than-life comedic image since the 1980s alternative comedy boom.
Her compact height perfectly suited her role as the bubbly Catriona in Absolutely Fabulous, enhancing the show's hilarious ensemble dynamic and her memorable on-screen presence.
A dedicated ambassador for the Prince's Trust, Eve Appeal Gynaecological Cancer Charity, and GO Girls cancer charity, Lederer's diminutive frame belies her towering influence in comedy and charity work.
Her daughter, Hannah Lederer-Alton, played Abi in the TV series Echo Beach.
