Siobhan Finneran, precisely 5ft 4 (162.6 cm) tall, is a British actress whose compact stature has perfectly suited her dynamic portrayals of feisty and formidable characters across television and film.
Renowned for her role as the scheming Sarah O'Brien in Downton Abbey, Finneran's height enhanced the maid's agile and manipulative presence in the lavish period drama. She also shone as Janice Garvey in the ITV sitcom Benidorm (2007–2015), where her petite frame amplified the character's bold, larger-than-life personality.
Further highlights include Clare Cartwright in Happy Valley and her early film role in Rita, Sue and Bob Too!, with her exact 5ft 4 height becoming a noted asset in casting directories for versatile roles.
