Will I ever see 5'3" Sally Field in person like I did with 4'10" Cathy Rigby 5' Patty Duke 5'1" Barbara Mandrell and 5'3" Cheryl Ladd? Not too likely. But Sally deserved the honor the Kennedy Center For the Performing Arts gave her! (5'3" Linda Ronstadt got honored as well.) I love Sally even though her 100 pound weight is a bit small for 5'3" women. Yet Sally is pretty in flowing gowns or jeans! Love you!

I first took notice of Sally when I saw her starring as a young girl with a tragic past in an award-winning film called 'Sybil'. Based on a true story, Sally acted alongside Joanne Woodward, who played her therapist.

Sally played much younger than her years, parts that are almost exclusively reserved for the petite actors and actresses, and those with baby faces!👶

5ft2.25.

Sweet and pretty! And 5'3" Sally Field is one of my favorite petite sweethearts! From the time I first saw Sally in 1965 on Gidget,I had a feeling she would become a great actress. And her two Best Actress Oscars and two Emmys pretty much complete a "circle" showing how great she is! But my most special Sally Field memory came on Dec.7,1984 when she sent me a picture of her,the first such celebrity picture I ever landed! Since I was depressed being laid up with a broken foot,I desperately needed something to cheer me up. And Sally came through on that picture! Jeans wearing Sally's picture perked me up and I feel Gidget and The Flying Nun are just two pieces of Sally. But like 5' Cathy Rigby,Sally is severely shy and not as talkative as other performers. Yet she has sure spoken out about her battle with osteoporosis,which I like. I would picture Sally more now at 5'1",but her Oscars are not to be sneezed at! Love you,Sally!

Much has been said about Anita Sarkeesian's height. She has claimed that she's 5ft11 (no joke..). The reality is that Anita Sarkeesian is slightly shorter than 5ft2 Sally Fields. Here's a link: Click Here

Its very possible that she was close to 5'3" when she was quoted in that 1985 interview and 5'2" in the 2012 interview. My mom is the exact same age as Sally and she was 5'2 3/4 when she was younger and is 5'1" today. The average 70 year old woman loses a full 2" in height.

5'2 seems about right.

There was about a foot between Field and DDL...

Dave Willock once said about Sally Field when she auditioned to play Gidget in 1964,"Sally has potential to be a great dramatic actress." Seems like the Wacky Races narrator/Red Max voice knew something! Sally has scored beautifully in all genres of TV and movies,whether fluffy comedy or serious drama! While I have both of 5'2" Sally's Best Actress Oscar winners,Norma Rae and Places In The Heart,Sally has a special distinction with me. She was the first celebrity in 1984 I got a picture of! Sally also looks nice in what she wears,from gowns to jeans. She's small,but as I saw when in December 1980 she modeled a pants suit,slacks,jeans,shorts,a jumpsuit,and a dress,she was pretty in all 6 outfits! Now with her Hollywood Walk Of Fame star,she has completed the transition from Gidget and The Flying Nun into an actress who can do anything! Love you,Sally!

5'2 at her peak sounds pretty right. dolly parton with super high heels was shorter than her wearing normal heels. so, yes, 5' 2 sounds right for her height. now, about 5 or 5'1. Parton is not more than 4'10 or 4'11. could look 5' at her best in a good day and with very good posture. now, possible less.

Rob can you add Norma McRae and Places in the Heart which she won Oscars for and Lincoln?

5'2" max in Norma McRae and very petite.
Arch Stanton said on 11/Mar/14
Rob any chance of a current downgrade to 5'1"? 5'2" peak is OK but really looks like she's lost a bit of height now. she looked tiny in Lincoln, in fact at times in it she looked nearer 5 ft flat. She's late 60s now.

Sally sure is sweet and pretty for a small 5'3" woman! She won my heart as Gidget and The Flying Nun,yet her two Oscars are nothing to be sneezed at!

She may be under this mark slightly at 66 years old. Daniel Day-Lewis can look in the range of being a foot taller than Fields.

She's 64 years old and has osteoporosis, so if she started off at 5'3" when she was playing Gidget, she's certainly lost some height since then.

A nice woman! Sally loves her 4 boys,is sweet from face to toes,and her two Oscars are nothing to be sneezed at!Still 5'3",but in "Hooper",a coughing spasm from a nasty chest cold Sally battled broke two of her ribs. Great actress,but still can't totally stop being looked at as "Gidget."

Size 4 Petite Sally is a class woman! This 5'3" dynamo won me over from the first "Gidget" episode I saw,and it was sweet of my 4'10" girlfriend Joanie to lovingly buy me the "Gidget"DVD set for my birthday last year. Even though,sadly,like 5'Patty Duke and 5' Cathy Rigby,Sally was anorexic,she still is a beautiful woman. And you can't help but love Sally! Small in size (just 94 pounds,small for a 5'3" woman),Sally's big heart calmly makes up for her lack of size.
gregory lehmann said on 6/May/11
A sweet 5'3".Sally is beautiful,but like 5'Cathy Rigby,shy.Sally was the first celebrity I got a picture of in 1984,looking nice in her jeans. My 5'1" Trade Winds friend Annette looks just like Sally! Sally can wear what her 5'3" heart desires and looks sweet and pretty,and she feels sweet and pretty,too! You're a champ,Sally!

Sally may have been 5f1ish at one point, but she looks to be only 5f now. She must have lost height, because of her Osteoporosis. She manages it with Boniva, just like she states in the commercials. Click Here
Mister Lennon said on 11/Oct/08
In Steel magnolias, she looked slightly taller than 5 Dolly Parton, same in the premire. So yes, she could be 5'2 at peak and now , probably a little less.
Anonymous said on 8/Oct/08
She does commercials about osteoporosis which she has and is treated for so she could have lost some height since her 5'2" days.
Realme2008 said on 21/May/08
She seems so much smaller than that. I think she has lost height, because in "Brothers & Sisters" she looks 5 foot.
robotix said on 31/May/07
looked 5' in Gidget
DITER said on 12/Mar/07
She couln't be taller than 5'4'' anyway. Looks like that in F.Gump. Does anybody have fotoes from that movie?
