Jenna Coleman, at exactly 5ft 2 (157.5 cm), is an English actress whose petite stature defines much of her on-screen charm and off-screen persona. Her compact height helped her evade fan recognition after landing the role of Clara Oswald in Doctor Who, as she noted in a 2013 Radio Times interview: "I'm short... You can spot Matt a mile off and you could spot Karen Gillan a mile off... my height is the reason why!"
Beginning in Emmerdale, she gained prominence in the 2012 Titanic mini-series and as Queen Victoria, roles where her diminutive frame added to her versatile, approachable image. Jenna embraces her height, exercising with dance classes while indulging in bread, staying a size 10 and monitoring her weight to suit her small build.
