@Tallerornot,your right about Selleck and Diana compared with Clint and Diana,also Clint was only in his mid fifties at the time.I think Clint was someone who could stretch to 6ft4 in shoes at peak,but would have been more 6ft2.5 to 6ft3 range depending on posture barefoot.

Clint was a tall guy and has lost quite some height. He is over 90 years old.
I do not agree with the peak height Rob. If it were correct it would mean that Clint was about the same height as Conan at his peak. Look at Clint dancing with princess Diana and look at her dancing with Tom Selleck who is a genuine 6'4 guy. Selleck is about 2 inches taller than Clint. Clint probably had lost about 0.5-1 inch in height by then. That makes Clint 6'3 max. I think Clint was 189-190cm at peak.
Clint looks taller because he has a narrow frame and his hair always gave him a bit of extra height.
Compare his height to Liam Neeson in one of their movies together and Neeson is clearly 2 inches or more taller.

@Rory point taken about Burt's lift wearing,he made no secret about it himself and could look over 6ft with a good pair of shoes or boots.

I'd say in those pictures Clint looks 6ft2.75 if Reynolds is 5ft11,however,I think by 1983 Clint had lost a fraction I suspect,and also there is something dubious looking about Reynolds footwear there. Reynolds was a renowned lift wearer and you'd think acting alongside a tall guy like Clint may well be an occasion where he'd look to wear them.

Eastwood was barely ever over 6'3"; George Kennedy was visibly closer to 6'4" in The Eiger Sanction. 6'3.25" was more likely than 6'3.75" for peak Eastwood; 6'3.5" being just right.

I myself, at the age of 70, am suddenly losing height. At least a half an inch in the last six months, I think. What is happening is, my upper spine is curving down and in. This is painless so far, but certainly disturbing.
Eastwood was an unusually strong man, who famously made a point of staying in shape. Old age got him, and it looks suspiciously as if it's going to get me too.

It's interesting when Lee Marvin was listed as 6ft2 Clint looked 6ft4 in comparison,Clint looked a couple of inches taller than Marvin,now Marvin is listed as 6ft1 with the possibility of being only 6ft.05 which he was measured at at 18 years old that would put Clint at max 6ft3 with the possibility of a bit less.

@avi,his height is usually listed as 6ft4 because he said he was that height,if he had of said ,when asked his height,he was 6ft3,then he would have been listed as 6ft3.I don't think many people would have questioned his height at 6ft3,he always looked only an inch or so taller than 6ft2 guys.

Yeah Tall Sam,it depends on Clints posture his height can look anything from 6ft2 to 6ft3 plus.Clint usually stands with very relaxed posture and hardly ever stands to his full height so it's difficult to guess his actual height,but 6ft4 is not very likely a fraction over 6ft3 is possible.

Yeah Eastwood looks a bit skinnier than he would later look in the Every Which Way movies but he’s naturally not as big in build as Wayne. I still think over 6’3” at some times is quite defendable for Eastwood.

No that's never a 4 inch difference. That's about 2.5 maybe 2.75 I'd say, which is the sort of height difference there was between them throughout out the film too. I felt Clint looked 6ft3ish in Magnum force with Holbrook possibly a strong 6ft range in that particular film.

His posture was never that good, which is why I think at times he could barely look 6ft3,but for a measurement could rise up to 6ft3.25 or 3.5 I think. The scene with Ebsen is a case in point, for me Buddy definitely had the better posture. Clint peak may well be similar to a guy like Paul Bettany actually, doesn't stand tall generally but clears 6ft3 when he does.

Click Here Here's Clint and 6ft3 listed Buddy Ebsen from Rawhide,from 34 minutes there is ample opportunity to compare both guys heights,and once again they are looking pretty even although Clint may have heel advantage,I can't see Clint as anything over 6ft3 flat and taking away his slight heel advantage and being 22 years younger than Ebsen, 6ft3.5 meaning he is taller than Ebsen seems very unlikely.

How flat were Fess Parkers shoes though in that clip? Pretty unorthodox, but from what I could see I'd be surprised if say less than 1. 25 inches. 6ft2.75 is definitely undercooking peak Clint, but 6ft3.25 instead of 3.5 is possible.

Click Here Here's a video of David Letterman talking to Tom Snyder,he was one of the previous presenters of the late show,at 1 hour 8min Letterman commented on Snyders size and asks him how tall he is Snyder replied 6ft4 in his high heels.There ate some pics of Snyder and Clint from 1980 in which Clint looks pretty similar to Snyder,the angles aren't great though,but there is also a pic of Snyder standing next to 6ft5.25 listed Howard Stern and Stern looks a good 2 inches taller.I will post the Stern and Clint comparison's later.It seems to me that Snyders comment about being 6ft4 in his high heels may also apply to Clint but barefoot both guys would be more 6ft3 flat,also Letterman IMO was more a 6ft1 guy.

Click Here I've posted this video before,but it still is in my opinion a clear example of Clint Eastwood being 6ft3 max in height aged 35.Clint is clearly is looking at least 2.5 inches shorter than 6ft5.5 Fess Parker and that's with footwear advantage,there is no denying that Clint was sub 6ft3.5 in this video,unless Parker was 6ft6.5 tall.

I think from all the pics and videos sent Clint was 191cm or 6ft3.25 at peak a slight downgrade would be satisfactory,his current height could range from 5ft11 with typical posture and standing for measurement 6ft flat IMO.

Heston you could argue was 190cm which would possibly push Clint into 192-193cm territory. I don’t either were quite the full 6ft3 and full 6ft4 though
Wayne is claiming 6ft4½ in shoes. No way barefoot. Comfortably shorter than 6ft5 men. Apparently loathed working with guys who were taller than him

Too me Clint looked similar to the likes of Sydney Poitier RIP great actor very sanded by his death he had a long life and a very big influence on cinema for people of African origin,a true trail blazer and icon,may he rest in peace.Clint also was similar to the likes of Morgan Freeman,Buddy Ebsen, Sean Connery,Charlton Heston,James Stewart,and in the Modern age Ryan Reynolds, Dwayne Johnson,Chris Hemsworth,Ben Affleck.What I'm saying is my opinion is Clint was around the 6ft3 mark at peak,somewhere between 6ft2.5 and 6ft3,from all the pics I've looked at and all his movies compareing him to other actors and celebrities over the past 35 years this is the conclusion I've reached.

Not easy to judge from that clip, he's slouching a fair bit there which makes him look nearer 6'2 but yeah if Agar was 6'1 he certainly doesn't give the impression of a big 6'4 guy there. I think Hudson was pretty close to 6'5, 195cm maybe, no lower than 6'4.5 anyway. Remember he had about 1.5 inches on Wayne at a time when he claimed to have lost an inch!

All true Rory,but it dose give us an evidence that Fleming was a tall guy in and around the 6ft3 Mark.Clint and Fleming did look pretty similar,also Fleming could have been in footwear and the height chart was most likely accurate,if so that would make him more 6ft2 range if that was the case that's why taking all this into account I'll go with 6ft3 range for both Flemiig and Clint peak.

He was a bit taller than 6'2.5" Muhammad Ali on an early 70s talk show with a bit thicker footwear so about 6'3" peak seems right or maybe around 191 cm. I still think he was around a full 6'3" in the Dead Pool with Liam Neeson and probably not under 190 cm or a weak 6'3" range by In The Line of Fire. In 1992, he still looked at least as tall as Danny Glover, if not a hair taller and Glover was about 190 cm peak, imo, with at least a chance of a full 6'3".
Clint probably lost his first fraction in his 50s or early 60s and he started to shrink more noticeably around the mid to late 90s. I still think he would have measured at least a full 6'0" or a fraction over in his early 80s and I saw him look as much as 3 cm taller than a roughly 5'11" DiCaprio when he stood well promoting J. Edgar.
But I think he likely dropped below 6' and into the 182 cm range by his mid to late 80s. Probably about 5'11.5", but it depends on how much taller he can stand for a measurement.

interesting pgoto with danny glover. I think glover was 6´3 peak and clint look pretty mutch the exact same height. But we all know clint had lost height by then. Lets say clint was 190 cm in that photo and peak 191,5.

Click Here @Tall In The Saddle,Here's both guys at the premier,although Clint is bending his right knee and is dropping a bit of height,Daniels is also not standing his full height,giving that, Clint does look to be near a full inch shorter,by age 70 Clint was looking somewhere between 6ft1 and 6ft2 range IMO.

Just watched Blood Work 2002.
Strange, at times Clint appeared on par with Jeff Daniels, even maybe holding a very slight edge but some scenes it seemed Daniels held the same slight edge. Very symptomatic for two guys who are basically the same height but Daniels was supposed to be 6’2 3/4” peak so technically was arguably the taller of the two as compared to 90s Clint who could’ve easily fallen below 6’2 1/2” by the 2000s.
However, red carpet photos for the movie, though not the best angles, seem to indicate that Daniels was definitely taller. Suffice to say, we all seem to agree that Clint was already down to 6’2 1/2” by the early to mid 90s.

Yeah I think we can rule out Kelly's Heroes for compering Clint's and Sutherland's height because there was no way of compering them in that movie,but in Space cowboys Sutherland did look taller than Clint.Clint at 70 and Sutherland 65 years old at the time,Clint was probably about an inch off peak at that stage,Sutherland was still looking in the 6ft3 range.Who was taller in their Youth? It could go either way

I wouldn't bet on Sutherland being taller than Clint when they were young. I felt in Kellys heroes particularly at the end of the film, Clint looked the taller if anything but then there wasnt really any strong comparisons to make.

On Lee’s THIS IS YOUR LIFE with excellent vision to compare, he didn’t appear to have much on an older Vincent Price. Possibly 6’4 3/4” but I like 6’4 1/2” more for Lee which would give him from 1” (given Clint at 6’3 1/2”) to 1 1/2” (given Clint at 6’3”) advantage over Eastwood. I think peak times peak Sutherland had the edge on Clint and a young Sutherland appeared alongside Lee in a few films and it appeared that Lee was clearly the taller man.

I believe he was definitely 6'4" peak. He seems to have started losing height earlier than most people do, in the early 1970s when Clint was in his early 40s, he was already looking noticeably shorter than how tall he looked in films he starred in from the 1960s. No idea as to current height, maybe 6'0" if he stood with perfect posture?

You see Chaos, there is a binding ordinance setting down the limits of permissible height, and you are in violation of it. Don't leave the house during business hours or you will be ticketed. Tall people think you're just so superior, and then you step on a normal sized adult and suddenly it is no longer a joke.
So wise up. I'm not telling you again.

You would think, just as a matter of simple logic, that tall people would lose more height in old age as an absolute measurement. They're taller and have more to lose. The question is, do tall and short people lose the same percentages of their youthful heights?
On average there can be little doubt that longevity favours short people over tall. Longevity is also far more prevalent among people with some body types. You can bet with confidence that Woody Allen, for example, will make it well into his nineties. He's short and strong, and also notably temperate in his personal habits. Apparently he has never drunk or smoked. He has not grown noticeably fatter with age, and his father made it to well past ninety.
Although you never can tell. Alfred Hitchcock and Peter Ustinov, both obese, made it into their eighties. Other people who seemed very strong, like Tyrone Power and Robert Shaw, died quite young of sudden heart attacks. Cancer is difficult to predict because it can strike down the young.
Clint's chances of making it to 100 are really quite good, although he is not only losing height but jettisoning weight. His muscles seem to be wasting away. His mind must be very good, and he can summon the energy to produce and direct movies, which would be strenuous labour at any age.
Not everyone who lives to be unusually old is all that happy about it, simply because old age robs you of much of the physical capacity you need to be comfortable and reasonably happy. Hunter S. Thompson and Ernest Hemingway ended their lives while they were still able to operate firearms, because both men had been reduced to little else but pain. I respect that, actually. In fact, if I were Clint's age, I would seriously consider skipping the last act.

People who are near dead don't still make movies though, it takes tremendous energy and concentration to make and produce a film.

Someone 6'3+ is going to have issues especially later in life. Of course plenty of average or even shorter older guys lose height or slump over but many taller guys (if they even make it to a decent old age) have a much more pronounced shrinkage.
I think Clint was a strong 6'3 in youth and now barely 6'0. He seemed to have been dipping in the 6'2 zone since the 1980s. It's hard to believe he lost 3 inches though. 1.5 seems to be more common

Anecdotally, I can’t say that I’ve noticed if taller people do or don’t lose more height. Women are shorter on average than men and I have read that woman lose more height on average. As to confining the observation to one gender or the other, it would be interesting if there is anything out there taller men or women lose more height than their shorter, same sex counterparts.

Yeah, it makes you want to be mindful to maintain your own posture, flexibility and bone health as best you can, not that it's always in anyone's complete control.
Not just to avoid notable loss of standing height but also being bent and bowed isn't desirable or healthy for a number of other obvious reasons anyway. Karl Malden is another celebrity that comes to mind as far as a severely bowed neck/back goes. I think he got to the point where his standing height was on par with Michael Douglas or perhaps even a bit less. I think he was a very solid 6'1" in his day but he did reach the grand old age of 97. With greater average life spans I guess we're going to see increased instances of extreme height loss, the rate of which seems to increase exponentially after a certain advanced age.

@Tall in the Saddle: I’ve noticed that a lot of the older celebs and older population who have lost noticeable height also have a major and very pronounced curve in the neck or the neck appears shorter for some reason lol. By noticeable height I mean someone like Clint or Donald Trump. Then you have the David Prowse category where he had lost even more than those guys. In his case, he already had a very large head which looked a bit disproportionate with a shorter (6’1) frame as opposed to a 6’5 or 6’6 frame that he once had

Clint’s been directing himself for so long now and I don’t know that he would or even could take direction from anyone else. That was probably why he wanted to take over the reigns in the first place, for complete artistic control. But, I see your point, even as lead, Clint can convey an everyman quality often seen in character roles due to many of his subtle, nuanced characters. In Unforgiven I like how Clint starts out as your unassuming, average Joe farmer before turning into an almost supernatural Angel of Death by movies end. He was an easy target as he rode out of town but his chilling warnings and established aura was enough to cause them to lay down their guns as if they came to believe they were dealing with someone more than human. Sorry to rant but that’s such a great film.
@Chaos
A lying down measure could work, that’s if Clint can even sleep straight in bed these days. We all seem to agree though that without the kinks, he’d prob make 6 feet. Clint wasn’t quite 6’4” but there’s no argument that he’s a lost a ton of height, particularly by way of an ever shrinking torso.

Probably could hit 6 ft but I wouldn’t recommend Clint gut busting to get there for a number of reasons. At the least, they would have to have someone ready to catch him, just in case.
@Hong
Off the top, A PERFECT WORLD is one film in which Clint receded from the lead role to assume a strong supporting role. Not a lot of air time during the film as I recall but powerful and significant input nonetheless.
Costner has made some not so great films but when he’s on his game he’s posted some great performances in the right movies. I don’t recall any good scenes to compare him with Clint but informal photos around that time seem to indicate a visible edge to Clint, as we might expect if Clint was standing about 6’ 2 1/2” as at the time.

He does look a bit ridiculous in the fighting scene and it looks like there is a bit of flirting going on between Clint and a woman who looks like she is only in her forties,and even in this movie he's wearing cowboy boots but because of his weak knees and hump it doesn't add any extra height.lm sure there are parts for elderly men in other movies,it would be interesting to see Clint in a movie where he is not the main character,to see him in a few character roles.I don't think since he hit the big time he's ever stared in any movie in which he was not the main guy.Maybe he's just to big a name and to type cast for people to see beyond all his legendary roles.Its a pity I'd say he would make a great Character in his very old age.

90 is nothing like 70, Hong. Most people who are 90 are dead.
I have seen the trailer to Cry Macho, and in it Clint punches somebody in the face. He also gives a much younger woman the eye. Well come on. I'm going to miss Clint when he's gone, but he's got that near-death look. He looks worse than Joe Biden. His spine is now severely misshapen, and he can't straighten his knees.
You can see how Clint looked when he was 70, in Space Cowboys. And old guy for sure, but still quite able-bodied. If Clint thinks that he looks anything like that now, he's severely deluded.
Robert Redford is another actor who thinks he looks younger than he is. Robert Redford played a sixty year-old in The Old Man and the Gun, when he was 82. I have been 60, and Redford looked a lot older than 60 to me. If you're young, you might be surprised how healthy and able-bodied 60 is. You're not 40 but you're not 80 either.

So the book character is 38. Is the movie character being passed off as 70? Obviously that would've required some tweaks from book to screen play but then we still arrive at a 91 yo Clint in the role. This film has a real air of Gran Torino about it only Clint is 13 years older again. I'm not complaining, loved Gran Torino and I'll still definitely watch this one.

The book character is 38, Hong? There is no comparison, none, between the physical limitations of someone who is 38, and someone who is 70. (I know this because I'm 69, and I was once 38.) So a 90 year-old man playing a character whose problems were the same as a 38 year-old is an absurdity.
38 is a character age often favoured by male stars who who are 50 or older. James Bond of the novels is roughly that age, and stays that age no matter the year. It's as if aging men just think of themselves as 38.

In The Mule (back in 2018) he can really look barely 5'11... Maybe he could still stand taller than that for a measurement, but 6' is more than likely too much by now.

Has anyone in the history of the planet Earth produced, directed and starred in a motion picture at the age of 90? I used to flinch at actors in their 50s pretending that they were 35, and in fact Clint was guilty of that one in those Philo Beddoe movies. I'll be interested to see how old Clint's character is supposed to be in Cry Macho.
I've seen the trailer and Clint is collapsing into himself. He's heading for five foot nine, and he looks as if he can barely stand, let alone walk.

So many classic and somewhat sagacious lines from Clint’s movies have entered into the vernacular. So quotable and instantly understood. When you’re young like us you body carries you through despite yourself. However, at some point the body will begin to fail due to wear tear and ageing . That’s when the spirit has to increasingly take up the slack ultimately becoming the sole driving force.
That’s why, I think, when some older people feel it’s time, they simply let go, no longer having a body to automatically kick in and provide life support. It all just comes down to then and their will to live.
For the foreseeable future Clint isn’t going anywhere, the spirit is clearly strong and when the irresistible time comes he may have to be dragged out kicking and screaming. Many of his movies provide a good lesson on the meaning and value of life from varied perspectives.
I believe in due admiration and respect but not idolisation per se. I think when you idolise someone you begin to eclipse your own purpose in life but, if I was forced to nominate an idol perhaps Clint would be the closest thing to. Certainly an excellent role model in many respects, not the least being work ethic.

Good photos. On face value, without entertaining possible variables, Clint is standing well next to Liam in those pics. So I guess at that stage of his career (1988) you would view Clint as having undergone little or no height less, since you have peak Clint at 6'3" or barely above? Perhaps others might've guessed Clint to have lost a little bit of height by age 58.

If Kyle was 6’2 1/2” peak I would guess it fair to give Clint about or close to 6’3” at least up until 1991. In my eyes he still edged Kyle who we can safely assume had stopped growing by 23 yo. Prob for me with Kyle is that I haven’t seen anyone to compare him with aside from Clint which can end up being a circular argument.
In Dead Pool 1988 I didn’t see any opportunities to properly compare Clint to Neeson. I think their longest scene together had Clint walking along on higher ground. Surely there would be offset photos of them together but ti date I’ve yet to see any.

Comparison with Liam Neeson in 1988 and Clint with James Cromwell in 1989 I wouldn't put Clint under 6'3 in that period. He started looking more 6'2,5 into the 90s. I think 6'2.5 is probably about right for Kyle, he's definitely nowhere not 6'4 anyway and that's what he's claimed.

Yeah, the 6'4" listing for Kyle is more than curious. One listing has 193 cm converted to 6'3" so they obviously got that wrong in more ways than one. I wonder if they got the idea that Kyle was 6'4" at the point in time he stood level with Clint without accounting for Clint's height loss or the fact that Clint was never a full 6'4" himself. Of course there would've been some point in time when Clint had shrunk sufficiently for Kyle to see him eye to eye before Clint went on to lose even more height.

Here’s a nice shot from 1991. 22 or 23 yo Kyle a bit slouched but 60 or 61 yo Clint I think would still be clearly taller even if Kyle straightened. There are better shots from the same time frame but I just linked the first one that came up. Wherever you have Clint at peak photos like this hammer home the unquestionable height loss Clint has experienced over the years.

I perused a number of photos going back to 1989 to 1991 with Clint and Kyle (when Kyle was 21 to 23). I think it more than fair to give Clint about 1/2" over Kyle when Clint himself was in his very late 50's to just over 60 yo. If Kyle maxed at 6'2", then that puts Clint at about 6'2 1/2", which is the height I think most us believe he was by the age range in question.

Nice collage. I guess based on the equal weighting of separate celebrity comparisons one might have to afford Conan 6’4” or very close to. Wrongly or rightly, I maybe giving more credence to the comparisons with more iconic celebs like Neeson, Lithgow, Hoff, Goldblum and Selleck who all edged Conan and whose own heights are reasonably confirmed. Conan also acknowledged the advantage of several of those guests by over estimating their heights.
I will also note that even when photographed multiple times with the same celeb (viz Barkley) , the apparent difference in height can vary somewhat due to obvious variables in play which just goes to show how deceiving photos can be sometimes. I actually see Liam Hemsworth pulling up even with O’Brien and I have Liam at 6’3 1/2”. To further corroborate that, I see Liam easily holding the same advantage (as Conan) over Goldblum in more recent years.

Conan holds up very well against 6’3”ers like Will Ferrell, Billy Eichner and the now slightly shorter Jeff Goldblum, who at peak with arguably a smaller margin higher but is now roughly 0.5 under Conan IMO. He’d definitely have a bit of height I think on young Clint too but how much is hard to say, remember that a young Clint held up very well near George Kennedy who was certainly no shorter than Conan.

Agreed. Both disproportionally long arms and/or legs can be revealing legacies of a once much taller person. Clint is an ideal example of same. TBH, Clint had a shorter than average torso to begin with but it has compressed that much more with the ensuing years combined with a number of worsening postural kinks.
I wonder what Clint weighs these days? Hard to say but I might guess 147 lbs to 154 lbs? Naturally, a llot of muscle and bone density has been lost.
@Hong
At least for me it’s harder to estimate big height differentials (viz Conan vs Leno) where the taller person’s advantage can tend to be over guessed or over claimed. As far as Conan’s height goes, I prefer guys who are closer to Conan’s range with their own reasonably confirmed heights like Selleck, Neeson, Goldblum, Lithgow, etc. For me, that allows for finer calibration and the conclusion that O’Brien is not 6’4” but maybe 6’3 1/2” at best. Just an opinion of course.

Yeah, I also estimate both Coop and Stewart to be over 6’3”, more likely closer to the 6’3 1/2” mark if not bang on. IMO Stewart def. had the edge on Coop as slight as it was and both guys could look equal to or slightly taller than The Duke at times.
Wayne def. taller than Scott also but I just think it was closer than the cowboy boot westerns suggest and certainly Scott wasn’t dropping 1 1/2” as this site’s listings imply. Interesting, when looking for same, there aren’t a lot of photos of Mel Ferrer with comparably tall actors. Found one with Coop, not the best but they appeared reasonably on par.

You can see though in the photo with Kyle that his legs look the same length or longer than Kyle's,which is often a give away for older people who have lost height. Ive seen plenty of elderly guys out there really stooped and hunched over, but you can tell by their leg length that they were much taller in their youth. Clint now still has the legs of a 191cm guy but the torso of a guy whose about 174cm.

Yeah, without any due nip and tuck for possible inequities, that photo in its own right might justify a 6’4” estimate for Conan but i wouldn’t say strong, rather, just on the mark. Of all the photos of the pair together, that photo suggests the biggest difference. Other photos indicate Will to be that bit closer in height I think.

@Canson,I have to disagree,even if Farrell stood straighter I still think Conan looks about 1.5 inches taller.

Click Here Here's the 91 year old Clint with his son Kyle,he looks very frail now,it's hard to believe he was once as tall if not taller than Kyle.

@Hong: you can’t see anything below the shirts in that pic. But this one is more and this is more likely a 6’2.5 Farrell who is not standing as well as Conan. Conan looks 6’3.5 at best with him. That’s about what he most likely is given Hasselhoff and Neeson both being taller than him at 6’4”. also looks that with Barkley Kobe or Gronkowski

Click Here On the subject of Conan,this is Conan with 6ft2.5 listed Will Ferrell,and remember Farrell is listed as 6ft3 peak,this is not a guy struggling with 6ft4,in fact Conan looks a clear 6ft4 in comparison to Farrell,unless of course Farrell is not as tall as he is listed.

Yeah, that's the thing. Even if we're only a little bit out (albeit acceptably) on our estimates for each of the other individuals we can perhaps end up with an accumulated margin of error falling upon our target estimate (viz Clint) which may be quite off the mark. A Leaning Tower of Pisa so to speak. As cowboy boot heels go, Clint's appear regular I think, perhaps as minimal a cowboy boot heel could be. I recall Clint Walker's acute heel from SEND ME NO FLOWERS and they make Clint's cowboy heel look like a regular shoe heel. LOL. Aside from estimating their heights, which is really just a casual thing for me, I more enamored with the mere existence of the clip from the Danny Kaye show with such stars as Clint, Fess and Buddy. Awesome. There is also of course Clint's appearance on the FROST show which I had never seen until a few years ago. YouTube is a godsend.

@Tall Sam
No prob bro. Clint and Conan might be among the more hotly contended height listings on this site but differences of opinion, equally valid, really only involve a general range of only 1/4" to 1/2" for either guy, either way. I guess, as per my own estimates, Clint's best case vs Conan's worst case might have them even. So, all things being equal on average I would give Conan the edge over Clint also.

@ Tall In The Saddle,Good idea to post the Danny Kaye show video again.Parker is listed as 6ft5.5,taking in to account his footwear which seems quite flat,he would probably be standing around 6ft6 or max 6ft6.5,he looks to have about 3 inches on Clint,that would make Clint plus cowboy boots 6ft3.5,plus minus 1.5 inches for boots that would make Clint 6ft2 flat,now because we can't say exactly how high Clint's boots were or how tick Parkers footwear was and Clint did look similar to Ebsen who generally looked in the 6ft3 range,we will give Clint the benefit of the doubt.But this video definitely rules out 6ft4 for Clint's height unless Parker was 6ft7?Also Ebsen was in his late 50s at the time and my have lost a fraction of height by then.So Clint being below 6ft3 peak is not completely out of the question,so I think 6ft3 peak is more than fair.

@Tall in the Saddle, thanks for the nice comments. Yeah, I would say Conan is definitely a little taller peak, more of a legit 6’4” guy, although sometimes looks on the weak side for the mark. However, maybe it’s not as much as it seems because I believe I’ve seen Clint pull off 6’3.5” range at certain times.

Rob I remember when you downgraded clints peak to 6’3.5 you said that would be the final peak height you would give him.
Does that rule out a future a downgrade to 6’3.25? From what I understand your not convinced he was just 6’3 flat in his prime

Here's a link to footage that was provided some time back on this thread. A good time for a refresh.
The Danny Kaye Show, host 5'11" listed Danny Kaye featuring 6'3 1/2" listed Clint, 6'5 1/2" listed Fess Parker and 6'3" listed Buddy Ebsen. Click Here
I will note that Buddy Ebsen once said that when he began filming the series Davy Crockett (series run '54 to '55), he himself stood 6'3 1/4" next to Fess' 6'5 1/2". The clip in question was filmed in 1965, some 10 year since that series with Buddy being aged 57 and heading into potential height loss territory if not already there.
Also, worthy to note that Ebsen began filming the Beverly Hillbillies in 1962. At that time, in comparable footwear, he appeared about 1" shorter than legit 6'4" Max Baer Jr. During the series run Ebsen's gradual loss of height could be observed and when the series wrapped in 1971, he was that little bit shorter again that Max Baer Jr.
At least in the opening sequences, Clint has the singular advantage of cowboy boot heel over Kaye, Buddy and Fess. IMO, even so, if not holding the slightest of edges, Clint appears about the same height as Ebsen and 2" plus shorter than Fess. He does appear an arguable 4" taller than Kaye, but that's at a max. So, all cross referencing appears to reconcile Clint to be standing manifestly at around the 6'3" mark but again, that's in cowboy boot heel.
In balance, there are many more examples in favor of 6'3" plus for Clint but I have to say that for the purposes of comparison this footage presents as perhaps the best quality evidence but not necessarily the be all and end all to the discussion.

No drama but for clarity that be Tall Sam’s comment you replied to. Good to see the original Tall Man (and the best) posting again. My moniker has caused some confusion at times but I’ll always take any credit for Tall Sam’s wisdom. Lol.
As it happens I agree with both you guys though Clint’s television appearance beside Ebsen and Fess Parker had Clint, who was the only one wearing cowboy boots in the opening skits, curiously appearing to be barely scraping 6’3” and the vision was pretty good for comparison purposes. Hong knows of these examples and basing an opinion ONLY on then one might seriously submit an estimate a touch below 6’3”.
Also, next to Ali on the Frost show, It seemed Clint did edge Ali but only slightly but it still had to be a min. 1/2” advantage for it to be even discernible. Some might’ve seen a 1” advantage to Clint but personally I didn’t quite see that much, maybe 3/4” at best?.
However, I guess there is that much more weight of evidence for 6’3” + estimate, jus in my opinion. So yeah, a 6’3 1/4” to 6’3 1/2” sounds fair. Lol, as some of us have him, we could be talking Conan O’Brien instead of Clint. So I guess we’ve kind of got O’Brien and Eastwood more or less equal at their peaks. Clint would’ve also had Conan covered in terms of high hair.

@Canson,6ft3.25 is a fair assessment for Clint's peak,6ft4 morning height is probably closer to his peak, and 6ft3.25 standing tall for measurment in the evening.But he did have a bad habit of slouching which made him seem a tad shorter in pics for comparison with other actors.

@Tall in the Saddle: yea that’s where I would start is no less than 6’3 but a strong 6’3 like 6’3.25” is a good possibility. 6’3.5 is also possible peak height (afternoon/evening). But I believed at one time that he could’ve been somewhere around what Bobby said likely because I saw more of him after he begun to lose height.

@Bobbyh3342, I'd be surprised if Eastwood at peak was not taller than Affleck, the latter is a slightly strong 6'2" whereas Clint usually managed to pull off 6'3" and change IMO. I could seem at times as low as 6'3", around the height of someone like Sacha Baron Cohen, for Eastwood.

I dont really get people who say Eric Fleming was taller than Clint. From most of what ive seen of the two of them they look the same or if anything Clint looks taller.
I think for some people theyve kind of persuaded themselves that young Clint was 6ft2.75, and now search frantically to prove that theory, ignoring evidence to the contrary and relying on scarce, unreliable evidence to back up their claims. I think the most credible height guessers amongst us know Clint was 6ft3+.

To be clear, the photos you provide are fine, even handed without bias and are always definitely worthy for comparison purposes to some degree or another. Obviously we take what we can get, some photos being better than others, some requiring less account for variables such as footwear, surface, postures etc. The most recent photo is very good and, in its own right, suggests little to choose between Clint and Eric. Clint maybe slightly closer to camera and Eric perhaps could gain a touch more if he was fully straight. Still, not much in at all and it really requires a broad sampling to sort out who really has the edge, otherwise, so close to call maybe more practical to just call them even.
If you're interested, maybe pop up to John Wayne's page. I would be interested in your view on the most recently linked vision. If I get a chance, I'm going to link another clip from Big Jim McLain to compare Wayne against another costar.

The more I see of Clint at peak, the more I deduce he was 6’3.5” maximum. I now agree if anyone was taller out of Fleming and Clint, it was probably Fleming. Fleming nearly always looked taller than Clint on Rawhide. However, I’d put them both at 6’3.5”. In the first episode of Rawhide, Fleming was clearly taller than 6’3” listed Frank Wilcox. Nowadays, Clint is shorter than Tom Hanks, so if Hanks is 5’11.5” now, Clint may well be struggling with 5’11” today.

Yeah, I know that photo. Of course Fleming is barefoot and standing on lower ground and next to Clint he is standing impossibly shorter than than we reasonably know him to be.
In the group photo the background wall is a stand out first reference point. Even with that, Arness isn’t standing as high as we know him to be IMO. Perhaps angle etc. and also Arness breaking posture somewhat. I think Fess held equal or better advantage over Clint as seen on television but we also know Arness was clearly taller than Fess. Also, Henry Calvin is standing too well next to Arness.
Agreed. When actors are close in height or even equal, the advantage will see saw due to slight surface, foot wear and posture inequities. Over the whole landscape I’d still give Fleming the edge.
The photo you provided my be among the best for comparison purposes. Acceptably flat surface, equally heeled cowboy boots assumed with Fleming holding the manifest edge. But also, Fleming’s head is on a slight tilt and his feet are spaced more than Clint’s, the latter actually standing pretty straight for a change. :)

Again you’ve located another great, rarely seen photo.
Interesting that Arness appears to be standing that bit less than his true height. Remember how tall Fess Parker appeared next to Clint? Anyway, Fleming does look a bit taller than Clint. Over many photos and vision I would give Fleming the edge in general. The actor next to Arness is Henry Calvin who played Sergeant Garcia in the old Zorro series starring Guy Williams.
Williams was a rock solid 6’2” at the least IMO and Calvin never appeared more than 1” shorter.

@Tall In The Saddle,I didn't realise Lynn Redgrave was so tall,if she was 5ft10 then Sommer was still 6ft3 range next to her. Both clips,Clint with Sommer and Everett with Sommer are not the best for height comparison the angles are odd.I would be more inclined to go for 1m90.5 for Clint's peak and now he's looking in the 1m80cm, range he might be able to stretch to 1m83cm,but is consistently looking like a 1m 80cm guy in his early 90s.

Yeah, still pics can sometimes be a bit deceiving. Angle isn't great, Sommers posture isn't as good as Everett's and he is older as we've said but then Sommers is in the foreground for some perceptual advantage. I found the live vision more revealing and I'd guess about 1" between them. Not at all improbable for Sommers to have lost 1/2" by that time to work back to a 6'3 1/2" peak. Then it comes back to how much we think he had on Clint, and again, their scene together unfortunately doesn't provide ideal proximity and angle but based on that vision in its own right, I agree that Sommers appeared to have the edge.
Interesting to note, the great actress Lynn Redgrave is also in the photo and her peak height is listed as 5'10", which I think is about right.
@Chaos
For Clint, I think 191 cm max. with 190.5 still possible. His standing, effective height is now below 6 feet I think but if straightened for a nano second, he might just make the 6 feet mark or barely below it.

Yeah, still pics can sometimes be a bit deceiving.

Chaos,
I think 191 -181 is more probable

Clints height today is impossible to guess really, theres no way of telling what a guy like him could measure compared to how he looks other than to say hed probably be between 5ft11 and six foot. His peak is also quite difficult to pin down because of loose posture, but then his thick hair kind of counteracted that too at times.
I could probably buy 6ft3.25 peak and 5ft11.5 today. I could never buy under 6ft3 anyway, and maybe 6ft3.5 as a maximum. Not so sure about that clip with Sommer, not exactly a good comparison, theyre not really in close proximity and the camera angle is a bit unorthodox.

Click Here @ Tall In The Saddle,Here's a pic from that movie and Everett definitely is the taller guy,Sommer at 66 years old would probably be less than peak,but it's all pointing to Clint being no more than 6ft3 peak maybe even 6ft2.75,or 1m90cm,I know that seems a bit controversial,but I think it's a possibility.

Thanks for the clip. I found a trailer for a movie THE NEXT BEST THING made in 2000. There’s a scene with Sommers and 6’4” listed Rupert Everett. Everett is clearly taller. The angles vary but at best Sommers appear perhaps 1” shy of Everett’s height. Of course Sommers age as as that time, 66 yo, has to be factored.

What’s more likely,191 down to 181 or 192 down to 182?

Shrunk lots. Sub 6-0 imo now from a 6-3.5 peak
