What was John Ford's Height?

John Ford, standing at an authoritative 6ft 0 (182.9 cm), was a towering figure in Hollywood directing, his height enhancing his commanding presence on sets of epic Westerns. This stature mirrored the rugged, larger-than-life heroes in his films, from Stagecoach (1939) and The Grapes of Wrath (1940) to The Searchers (1956) and The Quiet Man (1952).

• His 6ft 0 frame embodied the authoritative gaze behind classics like My Darling Clementine and Fort Apache.
• Orson Welles hailed him as his top director: "John Ford, John Ford, and John Ford."
• Jean-Marie Straub called him "the most Brechtian of all filmmakers."
