Roma Downey, standing at exactly 5ft 4 (162.6 cm), is a petite Northern Irish actress, producer, and author whose diminutive stature became a charming hallmark of her public image.
Best known for her iconic role as Monica in the long-running TV series Touched by an Angel, Downey's warm, approachable presence amplified her wee lass persona, as she described herself in 1990 at 5-foot-4.
She humorously embraced her height on Twitter in 2012 while playing the queen of the Amazons: "What fun I had... And I am only 5'4" Lol!"
