Jane Russell, precisely 5ft 7 (170.2 cm) tall, captivated audiences with her statuesque, long-legged silhouette that defined her glamorous image in Classic Hollywood.
Her height accentuated her voluptuous figure—often cited with a 38D bust, 24-inch waist, and 36-inch hips—making her a standout in roles like the sultry temptress in The Outlaw (1943) and the vivacious performer alongside Marilyn Monroe in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953).
Russell herself noted, "I'm five feet, seven. I'm short waisted and long-legged," highlighting how her proportions created unique figure challenges she addressed through fashion, enhancing her enduring sex symbol status in films like The Paleface and The Tall Men.
