Tamara Dobson, standing tall at 6ft 2 (188 cm), was an American actress and fashion model whose commanding height became a defining asset in her career.
Born into a family of tall stature—her brothers reached 6ft 4 and 6ft 3, sister 6ft 2, and father 6ft 3—Dobson embraced her height, noting it intimidated some but propelled her to iconic roles. She once said, "My height has always been a plus... so far, my height has been an asset in my career as well as my life."
Best known for her breakout as the towering, fearless agent Cleopatra Jones (1973), her 6ft 2 frame amplified the character's unyielding strength, echoing tall legends like John Wayne. She also starred in Amazons and Chained Heat, leveraging her stature for powerful on-screen presence in 1970s blaxploitation and action films.
