Jo Anne Worley, at an authoritative 5ft 8 ½ (174 cm), is an American actress, comedian, and singer renowned for her bold, earthy style on Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In and in films like The Shaggy D.A.. Her statuesque height enhanced her rowdy comedienne image, as she quipped in a 1970 interview: "I'm 5-feet-8 1/2, but with hair and heels a good 6 feet. Big, but well-proportioned." This commanding presence amplified her larger-than-life performances and memorable variety show antics.
