Louis Jourdan, standing at an elegant 5ft 11 (180.3 cm), embodied sophisticated charm in Hollywood and French cinema, his statuesque height enhancing his debonair image as romantic leads and suave villains.
Best remembered for iconic roles in Gigi, Octopussy, Swamp Thing, Letter from an Unknown Woman, and Dracula, Jourdan's commanding 5ft 11 (180.3 cm) frame lent perfect poise to dance sequences in Can-Can and dramatic intensity in The Paradine Case and The V.I.P's.
