What is Stockard Channing's Height?

Stockard Channing, precisely 5ft 3 (160 cm) tall, is an American actress renowned for her commanding presence despite her petite stature. Best known for playing Betty Rizzo in Grease, First Lady Abbey Bartlet in The West Wing, and roles in Six Degrees of Separation and The First Wives Club, Channing has often highlighted how her height shapes her self-image. In a 1979 Washington Post interview, she shared her self-consciousness, saying she resembles a 'brioche' when sitting but looks far better standing, and fashion magazines temporarily make her envision herself as 5ft 9 and blond before reality sets in.
