Randy Newman, precisely 5ft 9 (175.3 cm) tall, is an iconic American singer-songwriter and film composer whose stature adds a layer of irony to his satirical work.
His height became a focal point with the release of his controversial hit 'Short People' in 1977, a song poking fun at height biases that highlighted Newman's own average build in media discussions.
Standing at 5ft 9, Newman's commanding presence in music stems from a legendary family of Hollywood composers, including uncles Alfred, Lionel, and Emil Newman.
- Composed memorable scores for films like Toy Story and Monsters, Inc.
