Portia de Rossi, precisely 5ft 6 (167.6 cm) tall, is an Australian-American actress, former model, and philanthropist whose statuesque height perfectly suited her elegant on-screen personas. Her poised 5ft 6 frame brought commanding presence to roles like the sharp-witted Nelle Porter on Ally McBeal, the quirky Lindsay Blúth Fünke on Arrested Development, and the intense Elizabeth North on Scandal.
As a former model, de Rossi once shared on Oprah that at 5ft 6, one should aim for a size 8, reflecting her insights on body image tied to her height and career in entertainment.
