Kay Panabaker is a retired American actress and zoologist who stands at an exact 5ft 0 (152.4 cm), a height she proudly confirmed on Twitter as "a solid 5 feet :) nothing more, nothing less" and "an even 5 feet :)". Her petite stature became central to her endearing image as a "little bird" in fan chats, enhancing her youthful appeal in roles.
Highlights include starring in Fame, Nancy Drew, and the TV series No Ordinary Family, where her compact 5ft 0 frame suited spunky, relatable characters. The younger sister of Danielle Panabaker, she later pursued zoology.
