Lindsay Hollister stands at an authoritative 5ft 9 (175.3 cm), a height that has defined her career as an American actress. Born in Columbus, Ohio, she graduated from Pickerington High School and earned a BFA in Theatre Performance from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.
Despite being told in a 2006 Columbus Dispatch article that her 5ft 9 stature made her too tall—and too pretty—for some roles, Hollister excelled with her commanding presence in highlights like Get Smart, Nip/Tuck, Pee-wee's Big Holiday, and Breaking Fat, where her height amplified her versatile and memorable performances.
