Dame Wendy Hiller, precisely 5ft 7 (170.2 cm) tall, was an English actress whose statuesque height defined her commanding screen and stage presence across a 60-year career.
Her 170.2 cm frame brought elegance and authority to iconic roles, including the transformative Eliza in Pygmalion (1938), the fiery Major Barbara, the resilient Anne in Separate Tables, and powerful turns in A Man for All Seasons, The Elephant Man, and Murder on the Orient Express.
This exact height enhanced her versatile portrayals, from I Know Where I'm Going! to Voyage of the Damned, solidifying her as a towering figure in British cinema.
