Tracey Needham, at an exact height of 5ft 11 (180.3 cm), embodies a tall, commanding presence that defined her television career. She famously described herself as "I'm 5ft 11, I'm a tall girl," a stature that lent authority and poise to her iconic roles.
Her towering frame enhanced her portrayal of Lieutenant Junior Grade Meg Austin on the first season of JAG (1995–1996), where she navigated naval drama with striking physicality. Needham's height also shone in the heartfelt role of Paige Thatcher on Life Goes On (1990–1993) and as the formidable Inspector Candace DeLorenzo on The Division (2001–2003).
