Phoebe Cates, standing at exactly 5ft 6 ½ (168.9 cm), brought a petite, alluring presence to her iconic 1980s film roles, enhancing her image as the quintessential teen dream girl.
Her height perfectly complemented the youthful energy of Fast Times at Ridgemont High, where she became a sensation, and added charm to family adventures like Gremlins and whimsical tales in Drop Dead Fred.
Married to Kevin Kline since 1989, Cates' stature underscored her versatile appeal across genres.
