  1. Interesting. According to Celebrity Heights, Bogart was 5'8" and Bergman 5'9". I guess they wanted him to look taller.

  2. Couldn't they just make special shoes? This looks like a recipe for disaster.

  3. So fixated on his height! And there wasn't a great difference in their height, either. Hmm.... Anyway, it's interesting.

  5. Her first passion, George.
    Not sure it was him and not the studio. They had the idea that women should be shorter than men. Bergman must have made it difficult at her height.

  6. Bogart and Tom Cruise. And don't forget Robert DeNiro.

  7. I take it back. The article with the DeNiro photo says he was playing a guy who was 6'4".
