Kim Delaney, precisely 5ft 7 (170.2 cm) tall, is an American actress whose height played a pivotal role in her early modeling career and later acting image. At 5ft 7, she excelled in commercial modeling for Glamour, Seventeen, and catalogs but was deemed not tall enough for high fashion runways.
Transitioning to television, her commanding 170.2 cm stature suited her Emmy-winning portrayal of tough Detective Diane Russell on NYPD Blue, enhancing her authoritative on-screen presence. She also starred in CSI: Miami, where her height contributed to her versatile, relatable leading lady persona.
