Joan Cusack, standing at an exact 5ft 8 ½ (174 cm), brings a commanding yet comedic presence to her roles as an American actress and comedian.
Her height enhances her quirky, larger-than-life characters in films like Working Girl, High Fidelity, School of Rock, and voice work in Toy Story 2 and 3, where her stature adds to the memorable physical comedy.
On TV, her 5ft 8 ½ frame perfectly suits the eccentric Sheila in Shameless (US), amplifying her hilarious physicality. Sister to John Cusack, she shines in roles that leverage her distinctive height for iconic laughs.
