Tallest women of Star Trek

[Vandervecken]

Yep, that's what I want to know. I once asked about the tallest men, but that's a bit easier because the tallest men=the tallest people, period.

Just to clarify, I mean the tallest female actors, ie, no visual tricks but real height is what I'm interested in.

I figure Terry Farrell at 5'11" is probably one, but I don't really know, because there are bound to be some taller guest actors. For example, maybe Marta DuBois from Devil's Due? I always had the impression she was tall (but can't locate her height). Maybe Anjelique PettyJohn? Maybe some of the Angel One actresses?

If we can come up with the top 6 that'd be great.

IMDB lists Suzie Plakson at 6 feet tall and a half-inch. Marjorie Monahan, who played Freya in VOY: Heroes and Demons, is also at 6 feet. Famke Janssen is another listed at 6 feet.

Just found this list, but haven't gone through it:

Terry Farrell is actually just about 6 feet. IMDb gives her height as 5 feet, 11 and 3/4 inches. They might as well just say 6'0", given that anyone's height fluctuates over the course of the day (as gravity compresses the spine during the hours we spend out of bed).

Certainly Julie Newmar from "Friday's Child" would be up there at 5'11". So would the 5'11" Kristanna Loken, who was in VGR's "Favorite Son." Famke Janssen from TNG's "The Perfect Mate" is just half an inch under 6 feet; same for Brenda Strong from "When the Bough Breaks." Suzie Plakson is half an inch over 6 feet.

There's also Padma Lakshmi (ENT: "Precious Cargo") and Michelle Forbes (Ro Laren) at 5'9" and Rachel Nichols (Gaila from the 2009 film) at 5'10".

How about the all the women in Angel One? Do we have official heights? I guess we can estimate based on Riker.

Thanks people...this is getting interesting...so Susie Plakson seems to be number 1.

Patricia McPherson, who played Ariel, is listed at 5'6.5".

There's no height listed for Karen Montgomery, who was Mistress Beata.

Also remember that their serving boy, Trent, played by Leonard Crofoot, looks like he's about 5'5" or so, but no height listed for him either.

Are you using him for reference, or mistaking him for a woman?

He works as a possible scale reference to make the women in the episode look taller.

What makes you think I would mistake him for a woman?

I like tall women and I approve of this thread.

 

[Mojochi]

It seems the Klingon woman in St:3 (Valkris) played by Cathie Shirriff is up near 6 foot

Sally Kellerman (Dr. Dehner) from the second TOS pilot was 5'10."

And sexy as hell.

Hard to believe she's 77 now.

 

[Melakon]

She's really good in 1964's The Outer Limits: The Bellero Shield, with Martin Landau, John Hoyt as the alien, and Neil Hamilton of TV's Batman. And Chita Rivera.

I truly didn't think you were mistaking him for a woman. I was simply cracking wise, hence the

...But Dr. Dehner (Sally Kellerman) was just 5'2''.

At least back when she was 21 years old, that is.

Some people do have growth spurts at relatively late age. Yet eight inches after 21 might be a bit extreme, if she isn't supposed to be suffering from actual late-onset gigantism that Federation medicine cannot or will not stop.

Of course, we may be speaking of futuro-inches, as Gary Mitchell is also missing three inches of Lockwood's height.

Or maybe the characters on Star Trek are shorter than we think. That might put Kirk at about 5 foot nothing.

I also like high heels.
