Louise Brealey, a petite 5ft 3 ¼ (160.7 cm) English actress, writer, and journalist, embodies her self-described 'small' stature in her iconic roles. Best known for playing the quirky pathologist Molly Hooper on BBC's Sherlock, her diminutive height adds endearing vulnerability and charm to the character, making her stand out alongside taller co-stars.
Brealey's compact frame also suited her performances as Roxanne Bird on Casualty and Judy on Bleak House. Educated at Girton College, Cambridge, she leverages her height as a defining aspect of her versatile career in TV and journalism.
