It’s not about height…or lack thereof… for that matter, my man. That’s not all there is, though, Hollywood is full of tall modelesque people. These little women have whipped up a maelstrom in the industry and have left their mark no less. These are some of the shortest women in Hollywood with much more confidence and career than their height.
Nicole Richie //5’1″
While she might have starred on a show called The Simple Life with fellow socialite Paris Hilton, life is anything but simple for Nicole Richie. Her companion stood below her — Hilton was 5’8″ and the fashion designer was 5’1″.
The short actress is now married, has a thriving fashion line and book deals, as well as a spot playing one of the leads on the sitcom Great News. Your height doesn’t have to be the only way to stand tall, who says that?
Anna Kendrick //5’2″
Anna Kendrick’s role as the annoying Jessica Stanley in the Twilight series put her in the spotlight. Still, her stint as the Barden Bellas and her “Cup Song” in Pitch Perfect propelled her into Hollywood celebrity status.
Since then, the actress has been on a constant roller coaster, appearing in movies and TV shows. But the surprising fact is that even though she’s reached so high in her career, she only measures about 5’2″ in reality.
Emilia Clarke //5’2″
This actress has proven that height is only a number! After all, this 5’2″ shorty has played one of the most formidable female characters on television – the Mother of Dragons.
The Game of Thrones actress achieved global fame with her role as Daenerys Targaryen and has only risen higher since then, even without her dragons. She’s since then decided to make her love stories a little more tame and acted in films like Me Before You and Last Christmas.
Ariana Grande // 5’1”
Ariana Grande might have one of Hollywood’s highest pitches and ponytails, but the same can’t be said for her height. The 5’1″ singer’s high heels on the red carpet, and her outstanding performances on stage make her seem much taller, both in stature and talent.
The “7 Rings” singer is a favorite of many fans, with her music videos having over nine billion views!
Scarlett Johansson //5’3″
ScarJo has received high praise throughout her lustrous career, from laurels for her acting prowess to magazine spreads dedicated to her flawless beauty. In front of her upstanding career, it’s hard to remember that the actress is just 5’3″.
The Black Widow actress’s height is not a topic of discussion while she’s wowing the audience with her style in the Avenger series or her etherealness in Lost in Translation.
Mila Kunis //5’4″
No, you wouldn’t call Mila Kunis very short, but she is compared to tall actresses in Hollywood. But her 5’4″ frame has nothing to do with her larger-than-life personality.
Kunis gained recognition for her role in That ’70s Show, where she starred alongside her now-husband, Ashton Kutcher. Since then, the actress has gained prominence for her fairytale love story with Kutcher, her bubbly appearance on talk shows, and her performances in Family Guy and Black Swan.
