Melissa Leo, precisely 5ft 4 (162.6 cm) tall, is an American actress whose compact stature amplifies her fierce screen presence in dramatic roles. Her petite height contrasts powerfully with the commanding matriarch she portrayed in The Fighter, earning her an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. Leo's 5ft 4 frame brings intensity to action films like Oblivion and Olympus Has Fallen, and grit to TV's Homicide: Life on the Street.
