Lilli Palmer, standing exactly 5ft 3 (160 cm) tall, was a petite German actress whose diminutive stature enhanced her elegant and versatile screen presence. Her compact height perfectly suited her roles in classic films like Cloak and Dagger, The Four Poster, Mädchen in Uniform, The Pleasure of His Company, and The Boys from Brazil, where she portrayed sophisticated characters with poise and intensity. Despite her small frame, Palmer's commanding performances in Hollywood and European cinema made her a standout star from the 1940s through the 1980s.
