I always thought she was 1,70 (5'7"), but IMDb info points out 1,78 (5'10"). This is really tall for women.
Charlize Theron is 1,78!
Judy Greer didn't look taller than Jennifer Garner in "13 going on 30"! She also didn't look that tall in "Big Bang Theory", and those guys are really short.
Has someone a different info?

sharePlease abandon that ridiculous metric system. Those numbers look foolish to American brains.
shareExactly. John Cho is 5'10" and he's good half head taller than her. I would say she's 5'7 most. I've learned quite a while ago not to trust what's stated on IMDB. It is good for quick look ups but lots of false info on this site, especially when it comes to character's height. It always exaggerates actor's height. Way to kiss ass IMDB!
shareMost surprising fact when I came to her IMDB page...she does not look tall at all in any of her roles that I've seen.
But then I just saw her on Conan though and, with high heels, she's only just very slighty shorter then Andy Richter (who I am also surprised to discover is freaking 188cm tall, to Conans 193cm, both tall guys).
Everywhere I've seen her height listed has been 5'10. But here, she says 5'9.

Sometimes actresses heights deliberately include shoes, (various height heels that is...), sometimes they do not. That also explains inconsistencies in the actual numbers. **smile**
In her bio, she did "Classical Russian Ballet" for 10 years...
Well, if that alone does not kill the 5'10" claim, what would? Look at the heights of Jane Seymour and Finola Hughes who were both ballet dancers. I would be exaggerating if I claimed you could stand one on the other's shoulders to make 5'10", but both of them are a good deal shorter than that, which is typical for a ballet dancer.
My own wife danced ballet for several years, and the teacher had a talk with her about her height, saying she would need to be paired with a man of about 6'4" (or more) to have a serious career. Seen any ballet dancers that tall? I didn't think so. Furthermore, the extra height and corresponding weight adds to the physical beating the legs, feet, ankles, knees, and back take during practices and performances. That adds up to a short career.
A woman 'on point' (standing on the toe of the toe shoes, which do have padding in the toe) is a good deal taller that way, and classical ballet demands a certain look for the pairs, including their relative heights. (BTW, my wife was not as tall as 5'10", which would 'need' a partner approaching seven feet tall!)
and off we go now...
BTW, not all actresses 'add' to their height. Look up Sigourney Weaver (Alien franchise movies, Ghost Busters, etc.), and she is listed in IMDB as 5 feet 11 3/4 inches tall.
She is tall, and moves like a tall person. That height may have deliberately been understated to be able to state "5 feet, and some" to not block her from working with height conscious stars... just sayin'
