Richard Farnsworth, at an exact 6ft 0 (182.9 cm), embodied the tall, weathered cowboy archetype throughout his Hollywood career.
His commanding height enhanced his authenticity as a stuntman-turned-actor in Westerns like Tom Horn, where his stature conveyed rugged authority on screen.
Later highlights include his Oscar-nominated role as Alvin Straight in The Straight Story, his towering presence amplifying the character's resilient spirit during an epic cross-country journey, and memorable turns in Misery and The Natural.
Farnsworth's 6ft 0 frame perfectly suited his image as a straight-talking everyman in film.
