Marthe Keller, at exactly 5ft 8 (172.7 cm) tall, embodies a striking presence that defined her career as a Swiss actress and opera director. She once described herself as 'tall (5 feet 8),' highlighting how her height enhanced her commanding screen image in iconic films like Marathon Man, Bobby Deerfield, and Hereafter. Her statuesque frame was ideal for early ballet training, cut short by a skiing accident at age 16, propelling her to stardom on stage and screen.
