Molly Shannon, precisely 5ft 5 (165.1 cm) tall, is an American actress and comedian whose average height amplified her relatable, explosive physical comedy style. A Saturday Night Live cast member from 1995 to 2001, her petite frame enabled over-the-top characters like Mary Katherine Gallagher in Superstar (1999), making her awkward antics hilariously outsized. Shannon's height suited her energetic roles in films like Analyze This (1999) and How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000), and TV series including Enlightened (2013), Divorce (2016–2019), and The White Lotus (2021).
