Leslie Easterbrook, at a commanding 5ft 8 (172.7 cm), embodies a powerful screen presence with her broad-shouldered, statuesque build that perfectly suited her iconic role as the tough Lt. Debbie Callahan in the Police Academy films. Her height enhanced her portrayal of authoritative figures, from Sgt./Lt./Capt. roles to memorable parts in The Devil's Rejects and as Rhonda in Laverne & Shirley. Easterbrook's big voice and imposing 5ft 8 frame made her a standout in action-comedy and horror genres.
