Height is definitely not the most important thing when it comes to playing a role. For example, Danny DeVito, who stands at only 155 cm (5 ft 1 in), has repeatedly said that judging people based on appearance is foolish and that height doesn’t determine success. For women, being petite has never been a disadvantage either. You’d never even guess that any of the most popular, award-winning, and universally beloved stars in Hollywood are on the shorter side.
Here are the top ten shortest and probably cutest actresses in Hollywood.
1. Scarlett Johansson—160 cm (5 ft 3 in)
Scarlett Johansson became famous way back in the day when Natasha Romanoff wasn’t even on the menu. For this Avenger, being a 160 cm tall powerless spy (5 ft 3 in) has never been a hindrance. Today, Scarlett Johansson is one of Hollywood’s top stars, and of course, nobody cares even a little bit about her height.
2. Anna Kendrick—158 cm (5 ft 2 in)
As a child, Anna Kendrick’s peers teased her about her height, but now she couldn’t care less! At 158 cm (5 ft 2 in), the Twilight star and Oscar nominee has built an impressive career. She has admitted to feeling self-conscious about her height in her younger years, but after early success on stage, the teasing stopped. Now, she embraces her stature with confidence.
3. Eva Longoria—158 cm (5 ft 2 in)
Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria, one of Hollywood’s sexiest actresses, has never been bothered by her height of 158 cm (5 ft 2 in). And rightly so! The petite celebrity has thrived as both an actress and a model, proving that height is just another number and has no bearing on her talent.
4. Vanessa Hudgens—155 cm (5 ft 1 in)
At 155 cm (5 ft 1 in) without her favorite high heels, Vanessa Hudgens always manages to appear taller in photos. The actress and singer, best known for High School Musical, has been a Disney Channel favorite for years. Her confident red carpet looks make it easy to forget just how petite she really is.
