Katy Manning is 5ft 1" tall
Standing at exactly 5ft 1 (154.9 cm) in bare feet, Katy Manning's petite stature became a defining aspect of her iconic image as the plucky companion Jo Grant in the 1970s era of Doctor Who. Her diminutive height contrasted charmingly with taller Doctors like Jon Pertwee, emphasizing Jo's feisty, adventurous persona in perilous adventures across time and space. Despite her small frame—which she playfully notes requires at least 3-inch heels to boost her presence—Manning built a dynamic career as an English-Australian actress, television presenter, voice artist, and former model.
