Natasha Henstridge, standing at an exact 5ft 9 ½ (176.5 cm), is a Canadian actress and model whose commanding height has defined her striking on-screen presence.
Known for her breakout role in Species (1995) as the seductive alien Sil, her tall, athletic 5ft 9 ½ frame perfectly suited the character's physical intensity. Henstridge's height became a career talking point, as she noted in interviews that her 5ft 9 ½ stature is sometimes seen as 'too tall' in Hollywood casting, humorously likening it to '6-foot-5 in acting height,' yet it fueled her modeling career and roles in films like The Whole Nine Yards (2000), Ghosts of Mars (2001), and TV series Eli Stone and The Secret Circle.
Her poised 176.5 cm height enhances her glamorous image, making her a standout in action and sci-fi genres despite occasional height-related audition challenges.
