Martha Vickers, precisely 5ft 3 ½ (161.3 cm) tall, was a petite American actress and model whose compact 5ft 3 frame enhanced her glamorous, alluring image in classic film noir roles. Best remembered for her sultry portrayal of Carmen Sternwood in The Big Sleep (1946), her diminutive stature amplified the character's seductive vulnerability opposite towering co-stars like Humphrey Bogart. Key highlights include The Man I Love, The Big Bluff, The Burglar, and Four Fast Guns, where her 161.3 cm height contributed to her distinctive, petite bombshell persona. In his autobiography, ex-husband Mickey Rooney described her as 'auburn-haired and 5 foot 3½'.
