Juliet Stevenson, precisely 5ft 7 ½ (171.5 cm) tall, is an English actress whose commanding height enhances her powerful stage and screen presence. Her stature contributes to the authoritative maternal role in Bend It Like Beckham, adding gravitas to her character's cultural clashes.
Awarded CBE for her contributions to drama, Stevenson's 171.5 cm frame brought poignant contrast and depth to her portrayal of the diminutive Mother Teresa in The Letters. She also shone in the romantic ghost story Truly, Madly, Deeply, where her height underscored emotional intimacy, and alongside Ralph Fiennes and Judi Dench in acclaimed productions.
