Rick Robinson said...: Ha! So Seventies.; 10:37 AM
Jeff Meyerson said...: Interesting. According to Celebrity Heights, Bogart was 5'8" and Bergman 5'9". I guess they wanted him to look taller.; 11:02 AM
pattinase (abbott) said...: Couldn't they just make special shoes? This looks like a recipe for disaster.; 12:26 PM
Margot Kinberg said...: So fixated on his height! And there wasn't a great difference in their height, either. Hmm.... Anyway, it's interesting.; 7:30 AM
George said...: Megan knows everything about movies!; 9:16 AM
pattinase (abbott) said...: 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.; 8:45 AM
Gerard Saylor said...: Bogart and Tom Cruise. And don't forget Robert DeNiro.
