She's not too short, so why should height hinder her career?


There are plenty of short actresses who have become A-listers. Reese Witherspoon comes to mind.

I really hope Christina doesn't think her height will limit her to achieving the success she had in the 90s. She's a charismatic person, both off and on screen, and I'd like to see her in material that is worthy of her talent.

Me too.

Personally, I thought ahe was fairly good in The Gathering. Not great, but good.

What, pray tell, brought this on??? 

However, I wouldn't mind giving her a spin...



"I'd like to see her in material that is worthy of her talent."

I'd like to see her out of it. 

The fact that she said it herself ("I think I'm too short to ever be a A-list actress"). Someone should tell her that the Hollywood ideal is slowly, but surely, dying off.

The size of her talent is what is keeping her from becoming a bigger star.
If she were a better actress, funny or even remotely interesting, she would be bigger now.
She isn't...because she isn't.

How tall is she? 5-1 / 5-2?

reply

Apparently, she's a fraction of an inch above 5 feet flat. She's fairly well proportioned for her height, though. So, I would've thought she was a few inches taller than that.

Honestly, for me she lost her "It" factor when she lost weight. She looked great curvy.

reply

Exactly. She got wayyy too thin.

A-list actress Judy Garland was 4' 11".

Christina still has a better career than Meredith Eaton (who is way shorter).
