Susan Dey, precisely 5ft 7 (170.2 cm) tall, is a retired American actress whose height defined her elegant on-screen presence. Best known as Laurie Partridge on the iconic sitcom The Partridge Family (1970-1974), her statuesque frame embodied the wholesome teen idol image that captivated audiences.
Dey's confidence in her 5ft 7 stature shone through in interviews, like her 1987 Redbook reflection: "There I was, five-foot-seven, weighing 89 pounds with no breasts, thinking I was the most beautiful body walking around." By 1993, she noted in Rocky Mountain News, "I weigh 120 pounds, which I feel is right for my height - I'm 5 feet 7 inches." This poised 170.2 cm silhouette later powered her Emmy-nominated role as prosecutor Grace Van Owen on L.A. Law (1986-1992).
