Justina Machado, standing at exactly 5ft 0 (152.4 cm), is a petite American actress whose diminutive stature enhances her dynamic on-screen presence in feisty, resilient roles.
Known for portraying Penelope Alvarez in the Netflix sitcom One Day at a Time, Darci Factor in Jane the Virgin, Vanessa Diaz in Six Feet Under, and Brenda in Queen of the South, Machado's compact height of 152.4 cm allows her to command attention with commanding performances that belie her small frame.
She has openly embraced her height, once describing herself as a 'little person' at five feet tall, which underscores her bold image in Hollywood.
