I noticed her height appears to change in various scenes in Hogfather.
She appears to be normal height (5'5-8) when next to he children, but absolutely towers over David Jason in their first scene. Surely that puts her at well over 6 feet (he's not that small!) They appear to be side by side, so it's unlikely to be camera trickery
I,m no1 100% sure but I am 5 foot 10 and a Half. Standing next to her I would guess about the same or maybe half an inch shorter.
shareCool, thanks for the reply. Looks liek it might have been the director's POV shots then
shareAccording to David Jason's IMDB profile he is 5' 6"
shareBut if you watch the scene when Death appears in the Hogfather costume, she looks to be around 12 inches taller than David Jason. I couldn't tell if it was the camera angle or not.
Either that, or Mr Jason's profile isn't as accurate as it might be ;-)
I guess they might have made Albert look smaller, or Susan look taller
sharein Thief of Time (a later book featuring Susan) it mentions that the heels on her shoes seem to be higher when she is being deaths granddaughter, rather than when she is trying consider herself a normal person.
shareIt seems to be the other way around - the scene was when she meets Death and Albert when they are delivering presents. She's still the nanny at that point
It could be the camera angles more than anything
Depending on whether or not they made Death the right height at seven foot like he is in the book, I'd say she's at least be six foot. Or close enough to it. Her heels don't seem to be too high, but they can always use effects in movies to make her look taller. I don't know, from interviews she looks pretty tall too.
