Linnea Quigley, at exactly 5ft 2 (157.5 cm), embodies the petite yet fierce scream queen archetype in horror cinema.
Her compact 5ft 2 stature amplified her vulnerability and intensity in iconic roles, such as Trash in The Return of the Living Dead, where she danced undead, and in Night of the Demons, Savage Streets, Silent Night, Deadly Night, and Creepozoids, making her a B-movie legend whose tiny frame contrasted powerfully with monstrous threats.
Beyond acting, her height suited her modeling and singing career with The Skirts, while she authored books like I'm Screaming as Fast as I Can: My Life in B-Movies.
