Kiko, you go from saying "He was 188 cm at his absolute peak height barefoot" to "the most he was is close to 6'3." and "he was nt even 6'3 maybe very close". So he grew on inch LOL? Either he was 6'2 MAX or not. Here's 6'2 Eastwood with 6 ft range Charlton Heston Click Here

6'2 is a joke for peak clint. Tell me how he looked almost the same than 6'4 george kennedy. And that is only one example.
No less than a strong 6'3 peak.

Clint is a classic 188 cm man 6'2.5 max. You dont even have to meet him. Saw all Rawhide series 50 and 60's when he was on his peak and is obvious he was nt even 6'3 maybe very close but I say 6'2.5 max 6'3 right after bed

Are you guys kidding right? The point is that most of these actors got their heights boosted. Is also funny you all say Ali was 6'2.5 He vlaimed himself he was 6'2 but if he says that I'm convince he was a bit shorter. I give him strong 6'1 no more. He looks a classic 184-185 cm man 6'1 max for him which is 6'2 on his sneakers. Clint was like 4 cm taller just take a look on youtube where they were on TV interview together. He said: I'm big I'm 6'2 ( real life 6'1) his appereance is 6'1. but Clint Easwood is very tall. He is a slim guy who can look some times 190 cm or 6'3, but the most he was is close to 6'3. Real life: He was 6'2.5 barefoot Ali was 6'1 Fake or marketing or movistars height 1 to 2 inhes taller...

Because Kiko, Clint looked 2.5 inches taller that Lee Marvin, same on Don Stroud and Jeff Bridges, 2 inches on Tim Matheson and Robert Ulich, similar to 6'4 George Kennedy and Gregory Walcott, perhaps edged out slightly and looked to edge out 6'3.5 Donld Sutherland. All the evidence points to 6'3.5-6'4 peak, though I agree before I even started comparing I thought 6'4 seemed too high and thought more 6'2 myself at one point!

6'4" is most likely his height in boots and rounded up. more like just over 6'2" barefoot. That's tall enough, but they had to boost it up because he was so much taller than all those short actors who also had their heights boosted.

same as Dolph Lundgre height?? I can't believe it Rob. Clint was about 1.5- 2 inches shorter than him. Just watch him.
Dolph was 6'4 a legit 6'4 no more no less. He claim himself in his website and interview he was 6'4 since 18 years old 193 cm barefoot. He also was described athletic 6'4 muscular built in his peak. He always look 5 cm on Eastwood. 193 Dolph 188 Clint. Why all these celebrities got their heights rised? Rob Clint deserbe to be 6'3 listed at most. Is too high. Not the truth

In fairness Clint does seem to have lost a fair bit of height. His legs have gotten much longer in proportion to his body over time indicating a loss of height in the spine. He did have quite narrow shoulders as a young man so maybe wasn't as robust as some despite looking fit. I don't really see him as under 6'3'' in his youth although I'm skeptical of the full 6'4'' claims.

Clint was 6'2. I can't believe people believes he was 6'4. He never looked that tall. With cowboyboots looked 190 cm never over. (6'2.75) Anyone with a good eye who had ever watched a lot of movies since his youth would never say he was over 188 cm or 6'2.5! He was 188 cm at his absolute peak height barefoot(6'2.25- 6'2.5 maxx )

Rob do you ever think his height loss seems a bit odd because of his good health?
Editor Rob the taller you are, the greater the overall loss...he's had a long career, many physical roles...he just may have got a bit unlucky with genetics or he ended up with some more bone loss or disc problems which led to further losses.

I mentioned before in an episode of Rawhide there are some very good height comparisons between Clint and 6ft2.5 listed Jim Davis and both men look identical in height.My mind is still open on Clints peak.With Robbins Clint would have been in his early 70s and looked 6ft1 meaning a height loss of almost 3 inches which is a little bit hard to believe .

On the Robert Ryan and Sam Elliott pages on this site there are stories from two guys who claim to have met Clint and guess his height at 6'2''. Their stories sound believable if anyone wants to check. I've always gone for Clint as a weak 6'4''. If Clint was only 6'2'' then this would explain the very dramatic height loss and why Tim Robbins towered over him at the time of Mystic River. Are these stories true though?

Marvin was only 45 at the time of paint your wagon and only 6 years older than Clint,I don't think he would have lost any height by that stage.
Marvin always looked a solid 6ft1 Guy to me,in Gorky park aged late fifties he looked similar to the much younger 6ft2 listed William Hurt.Downgrading someone below 6FT1 just to suit your opinion on Clint's height is a very weak argument. Clint in his peak was a Solis 6ft3 Guy,he was probably close to 6ft4 in the morning in his youth and just went with that through his career because it sounds more impressive than 6ft3

I'm a Clint fan and this is the celeb I'd most like to know how tall he actually was in reality when young. It's funny cause I recall people on this site saying they met him and he was definitely 6'4'' others say they met him and he was definitely no more than 6'2''. If Clint was only 6'2'' then guys like Lee Marvin and James Coburn were only 6ft.

I agree James...on top of that, Bridges is at most 2" shorter than Eastwood in Thunderbolt, and his height is listed as 6'1", which means he's probably a bit less.

People can lose inches in height as they age and this is clearly the case with Clint. He's gone from a minimum of 6'3'' I'd say to barely 6ft today. The photos that always puzzle me are from the time of Mystic River where Tim Robbins absolutely towers over Eastwood. One guy is supposed to be 6'5'' and the other 6'4'' or thereabouts but the height difference is very noticeable.

I would like to be 6'0" minimum and 6'2" max - that's the ideal range for me - but I'd probably choose 6'3"-6'4" range over 5'11" with the right build. Being thin at 6'3"+ wouldn't be too good, imo since you can look lanky and awkward, but if you're broad and powerfully built, then it'd be good. Falling short of the 6 foot mark is just disappointing to me. Of course, at 5'11", you can easily look 6 feet with the right footwear, so if we're considering that, then I may take 5'11", but if lifts or thick footwear are excluded, then with a good build, I'd say 6'3"-6'4". A Dolph Lundgren 6'4" is very impressive, I wouldn't mind being that at all.
With that said, I think Scott might be closer to 5'10" than 5'11", or perhaps right in between at 5'10.5", but 5'11" is pushing it, imo.

TWO points...the average peak and current guesses here are absurd. No one loses four inches in height unless plagued with health issues, and Eastwood is the picture of health.
Secondly, he is much too much shorter than the 6'4" Liam Neeson in The Dead Pool to have ever been 6'4". He gives away two inches easily to Neeson...more so from what I can see.
He is also consistently about where Eric Fleming was in height, and Fleming was billed as 6'3", though was probably not quite there.
6'2.5" is the absolute MAXIMUM I would give Eastwood at his peak. He is still taller than Justin Timberlake now, which means his current height is at least over 6'.

Clint eastwood was exactly same height and size as me when he was younger. I am 6.3.5 (191.5-192 cm) and around 200-210 pounds. I can see that by full body shots, he looks exactly the same as me in proportion but he looks to have little less bodyfat, so i think he was 190-200 pounds in dirty harry movies.

I tend to agree with you. If I could choose my perfect height ( my absolute low is 182.5 cm) it would be 6'3. I really wouldn't want to be any taller tbh. I think a young Clint Eastwood would wake up close to 6'4 and believe his peak low was 6'3.25. Today , yes he's possibly just over 6 ft.

It's hard to say really, I think you can make a constructive argument that 5'11 is more desirable than 6'4, however, I think if you offered most men the chance to be 6'4 or 5'11 they'd take 6'4 all day long..I certainly would anyway. I don't want to enter the realms of absurdity that some espouse on the general height page but it's true that in some circumstances 5'11 in the West these days will feel average at best. Legit tall starts at 6ft 1 I think now. Many in the 5'10 to 6ft 1 range might consider themselves as being tall, but anyone within that range could equally be described as average height. I think once you get to 6ft 1 in the evening though that's when you're indisputably tall range.

I don't know if Clint was a full 6'4" or not, but there's no way he's a flat 5'11" today. He'd often look 5'9"-5'10" with his posture, but never looks that low and rarely looks as short as a flat 5'11". He could be as low as 5'11.5" today, but nothing less standing straight.
@Arch: I think Rob said 6'3" is the lowest he'd try arguing, which I interpreted is Rob's way of saying there's no way Clint wasn't at least 6'3" peak.

Eastwood was clearly never the full 6'4". He may have been slightly over 6'3" as a young man, and 5'11" today.

Only complete height novices are fooled by things such as thick hair and slim builds accounting for an inch. I notice all these people who insist he was 6ft3 never corroborate their claims with any evidence they seem to think if I just say he was 6ft3 over and over again eventually it will stick. Well no, he was either 6ft3.5 or 6ft3.75. 6ft3 is too low, he looked that at 60 odd, not 30.

Richard Schickel who has written a few books about Clint and knows him well makes a comment about his imposing 6'3'' frame in a book called simply "Clint". This is an older Eastwood though so maybe by this point he was not quite so tall as in his youth. I still think that the site has it right and he was just under 6'4'' or a weak 6'4''.

6'3 James by Deadpool I think. I caught a bit of High Plains Drifter again recently and to me had the frame of a 6'4 guy, 6'3.5-6'4 range is arguable, nothing less than that peak
Well editor rob and the majority of votes seem to point towards clint being more 6'3-6'3.5 peak.
Let's not forget arch his slim build and hairstyle in the 60s/70s could probably make him seem taller. In the 1980s when he was heavier with thinning hair he looked 6'3 or 6'2 but possibly by that point could have lost a fraction

There's no point even responding to people who say he was 6ft 2 peak as it's just trash talk. The arguments for his peak can only be from 6ft 3 minimum to 6ft 4 maximum. Anything outside that range is an extremist position barely worthy of reading. Im pretty clear in my own mind he would have been about 6ft 4.5 out of bed and 6ft 3.5 at his lowest, being tall he probably shrunk a full inch.

Yep, I think Clint was between 6'3" and 6'3 & 1/2". I really believe that the main thing that has put Clint's peak height into question is the degree of height loss suffered. Until there was any height loss in evidence, I doubt that Eastwood's height was ever called into question. If you can live with that height loss (which I now can but I did question it previously) then all reference points otherwise point to a tall guy at peak, at least 6'3", prob 6'3 & 1/2" - and Clint's proportions, arms and legs save for short torso lend themselves to this height.
Must admit, as a youngster watching Marcus Welby MD I didn't appreciate James Brolin's height. Robert Young who played Welby was about 6 ft peak but the older Young looked quite short next to Brolin. For reference, Robert Young appeared in a late 40s movie with Errol Flynn and Walter Pidgeon - That Forsyte Woman. Pidgeon was clearly the taller of the three. Flynn was flat level with Young and perhaps even a heart beat shorter - Flynn was never a 6'2" guy IMO - likely 6'1" at best.
Interesting that Kiefer Sutherland and Josh Brolin, to name two, didn't quite inherit the height of their famous Dads.

Yh a lot of the people who say he needs to be downgraded to 6ft 3-3.5 range seem to just say it based on their feelings rather than any concrete evidence. The facts are when stood next to solid 6ft 4 men like John Gavin,Greg Walcott and George Kennedy Clint was clearly very near their heights, I do believe those guys edged him but we're talking a half inch at most considering Clints usual languid posture. I do think 6ft 3.25 would be underselling him a bit. 6'3.5-75 that had to be his range. What strikes me about old Clint films is i do feel he often acted alongside other tall men, often I've thought oh well he doesn't seem that tall in this scene with a certain group of people and then I've scratched beneath the surface and it turns out those guys were all over 6ft.

I think the argument for his peak is either 6'3.5 or 6'3.75, one of those figures. Seeing as he's on 6'3.75 now I don't really see the point in downgrading him to 6'3.5. The issue is I think too many people are looking at Clint from within the last 30-40 years when he's been shrinking, not enough are watching his stuff from the 50s,60s and early 70s when he definitely looked over 6ft 3.

Clint still looks similar to 182 cm Denzel Washington this year: Click Here Click Here
Clint can look maybe 1/4" shorter in the first pic, but that's his old man posture. He looks taller in the 2nd pic. Clint will probably look shorter if you go by eye level since he has the head of a man who use to be around 6'4". It's not impossible he's 182 cm now, but it's anyone's guess how tall he'll stand for a measurement. I think there's a good chance he may still reach the 6 foot mark standing tall.

I've actually met some of the people talked about on this thread, and it's interesting to me how celebs can appear to be taller on film than they are in real life. First, casting agents will often cast against the lead's height because a director or the actor himself (if he's a big enough star) wants a certain height difference for them on screen. Even if an actor isn't wearing lifts, camera angles and sole/heel thickness, as you all know, make it very difficult to get a handle on their heights with any accuracy. (Rob's photos with the celebs are a huge help.) It's even more deceiving if you see them on stage. I suspect it's because in most theatres, a large part of the audience is looking up.
Overall, given his age and slight frame, I think 6'0" sounds accurate. A man can easily lose 4" in height by his age. As someone mentioned below, taller men lose more, as a rule. But many people believe that osteoporosis is a woman's disease - it's not. Slender white men, in particular, are at real risk. I have no problem believing he could lose 3.5" or even more by his age.

Danimal, those are good pics, the last one has a bit of a low angle, but still useful. I see them about the same height in the first, Clint maybe a half inch shorter in the second and then about an inch shorter in the third. So if Rob's listing for Cooper is accurate then I still can't see Clint shorter than 5'11.5" and I don't know how much Clint can lose with posture. I'll agree there's a good chance he's under 6', though as he can look it with Stallone and Hugh Jackman and the Cooper pics are at least a couple of years old, maybe more like 2.5 years in some cases, but I think a flat 5'11" is too low since with old man posture, you'd surely have Clint looking 5'10" or under a fair amount. As for peak, I'd believe Clint at a full 6'4" peak before Tom Selleck.

Clint In his prime similar in height to a peak Dolph Lundgren? I can't see it personally.
No, Dolph was taller in his prime.. He was an inch more
Well editor rob doesn't rule out 193cm for a peak Dolph. And yes I agree I could imagine there being 1 inch between Clint and Dolph.
6'3 for clint Eastwood and 6'4 for Dolph makes sense to me.

Danimal, 5'11" flat seems too low if he stood decently. He'd often look only 5'9"-5'10" with his posture. Did you see the full pics I posted with 184 cm Bradley Cooper? Clint can still look almost the same height when he stands well. I can't see him lower than 5'11.5" even today and really I think still a solid 182 cm, possibly the full 6 feet still. I may be in the minority, but I actually don't have trouble believing he hit a full 6'4" peak, though 1/4" under seems equally likely.
I had not seen the pic you posted of him with Bradley Cooper. That said, here are some comparison pics of the 2 of them. Even if Bradley has the slight footwear advantage, I still see Clint as being under 6'0" today:

This Lois girl/guy is just a troll...or another hardcore downgrader.
Escape From Alcatraz shower scene: Wolf played by Bruce M. Fischer was never 6'4". At best 191cm and Eastwood pretty much the same height. The picture from the movie is not ideal for comparison but look at...
Click Here
This isn't ideal as well because Eastwood is much closer to the camera and in the movie the two actor is never stand eye to eye but Eastwood is not 6'1" or 6'0".

The prison director in the movie played by Patrick McGoohan. If I right remember Rob gave him 6'1" but McGoohan was taller, at least 188cm. Eastwood is taller with 4-5cm.

In 1993 clint was still higher than the 190 cms of morgan freeman

First, good pic of 56 yo Freeman and 63 yo Eastwood offset from around the time of The Unforgiven. For me, such pics are hard to come by. IMO, Clint does not appear clearly higher. From the pic (sans higher hair)Clint appears only slightly higher if not level. From memory, every scene from the Unforgiven did have Clint standing clearly higher - could be wrong but that's what I remember. For what it's worth, this site gives Freeman a peak height of 6' 2 & 1/4 " (personally I feel Morgan was a bit taller than that at best) but any which way it's reasonable to assume that 56 yo Freeman himself isn't quite carrying his own peak height by the time of that photo.

Clint never was a 6.4 or around it, at least barefoot.
Now he will be in 5´11" or few more (yes, with +80 years) and watching his movies since his youth i can see him 6´2" or few more in peak barefoot.
6´2"-6´2.5 could be realistic, with boots 6´4"
Totally improbable FRANK ... In the picture he looks clearly higher than Freeman in the time of loss of stature of Clint.
Clint always poses to appear shorter in height

Eastwood's case raises the question, do you get points on the height scale for tall hair? The Young Clint Eastwood must have had at least an inch of hair above the highest point on his skull. So, he was six foot four after he combed his pompadour in the morning, but would have been six foot three if he'd been caught in a sudden downpour without a hat.
On the subject of hair, Eastwood had exactly the same hairstyle in every one of his movies until he well into his fifties. And the hair was always clean and combed, even if he was playing a character who hadn't shaved in three weeks.

The famouse height of 192cm is a fake because is with his cowboy's boots.
Clint never was more than 190cm maybe was 189cm in peak and over long time he was 188cm. Now less 184cm is very old man

Arch - Not sure if you accept Vincent Price as a lock 6'4" but I do. In Forbidden Area, Price, face to face with Heston, has a solid 2" advantage. I can tell you that's at least one film in which Heston does not look a minimum 6'2 1/2", let alone any taller. Rather, Chuck looks 6'2" at best. So the math is Heston 6'2" with Clint either 1 " taller (6'3") or 1.5" taller (6'3 1/2"). From Price to Heston to Eastwood, it adds up for me.
As for The Unforgiven, I don't recall one scene in which Eastwood's height could be reliably compared to that of Morgan Freeman. I can tell you that I did notice that in the film Clint did appear to hold an even greater height advantage over Hackman than he actually held over Hackman in real life as at the time the movie was made. That Clint would be artificially framed or enhanced to be the darkest, most menacing and tallest character in that movie is not entirely implausible.

Clint was near enough 6'4 at his peak this listing is perfect
But currently looks 5'11.5 don't know how much he'd measure

jervis that's your opinion but you clearly either didn't watch the movie or you don't know anything about camera angles. Camera was placed as close as possible to Eastwood every scene they were together to minimize the height difference and he still looked shorter. They even had him stand on higher ground in some scenes. Liam himself never had good posture. If you believe that somehow it's his genes that contributed to his major height loss then I feel sad for his son, he might end up being a little person when he gets to his dad's age.

Once more, for some odd reason my comment didn't show here. Watch The Dead Pool movie from 1988. Eastwood looked good 2" shorter than Liam Neeson. So unless there was evidence that Eastwood had already lost about 2" of height by mid to late 50's, then that 6'3" mention was most likely his peak height and by late 80's he was down to 6'2".
LOL, if you thought that was 2 inches you need your eyes tested. One inch at the very most, see the scene where they walk through the supermarket. Eastwood was down to about 6 ft 3 by then, as if you see Unforgiven he was still an inch taller than solid 6'2 Morgan Freeman.

I do agree that Eastwood had Heston by 1" to 1.5 " at best so Clint gets a 6'3" to 6'3.5" from me though I lean more (excuse pun) to 6'3".
Well the math doesn't add up as Heston consistently looked minimum 6'2.5 in every film and some people argue more 190 or even a full 6'3. 1-1.5 inch taller, a flat 6'3 makes no sense at all. The lowest I think you can argue is 6'3.5.

Rising force and Christian and Tall in the Saddle are correct. He peaked at a strong 6'3 or solid 6'3. He likely was a guy who dipped to 6'3 or 6'3.25 tops never a full 6'4" which is why people assume that that type of height is taller than it is because people claim it. A real 6'4 to me dips no lower than maybe 6'3.75-6'3 7/8 on a given day and a good 6'4" is a John Lithgow or a Dennis Hasybwrt prime or a David Hasselhoff. Eastie is similar to Conan in height believe it or not neither is a legit or even weak 6'4 guy peak.

Whenever we judge height it is of course comparative to other celebs whose height we might believe to be a fixed and correct quantity. Suffice to say, one flawed reference can lead to another and ultimately cause estimates to be well off the mark. A leaning tower of Pisa so to speak. I remember back when Heston's height was rubber stamped as 6'4" - listings are generally more realistic now. IMO, Heston was 6'2" tall at best. I also believe that Vincent Price was a lock at 6'4". Heston and Price appeared in a made for television cold war thriller Forbidden Area ('56). At one point they stand perfectly face to face and, IMO, Price has a good 2" on Heston. I do agree that Eastwood had Heston by 1" to 1.5 " at best so Clint gets a 6'3" to 6'3.5" from me though I lean more (excuse pun) to 6'3".

Suffice to say, one flawed reference can lead to another and ultimately cause estimates to be well off the mark. A leaning tower of Pisa so to speak. I remember back when Heston's height was rubber stamped as 6'4" - listings are generally more realistic now. IMO, Heston was 6'2" tall at best. I also believe that Vincent Price was a lock at 6'4". Heston and Price appeared in a made for television cold war thriller Forbidden Area ('56). At one point they stand perfectly face to face and, IMO, Price has a good 2" on Heston. I do agree that Eastwood had Heston by 1" to 1.5 " at best so Clint gets a 6'3" to 6'3.5" from me though I lean more (excuse pun) to 6'3".

Berta,he was taller than Charlton Heston,who could have been 6ft3 but was min 6ft2.5.Clint had him by a least an inch,so 6ft3.5 look about right.

Any less than 6'3" peak is nonsense and he's clearly lost more than just 2" though I do think he could still be 6 feet standing properly. He could still look similar to Bradley Cooper(given 6'0.5") when he stood decently 2 years ago: Click Here Click Here though he did look a weaker 6' or possibly 182 cm with 6'1.5" Hugh Jackman in 2014: Click Here And with Sly now a max 5'8.5", likely just 5'8.25" and not wearing his lifts at events for years now, Clint can look close to 5'11": Click Here Of course, I'm sure he still measures taller, but 5'11.5" or 6' are your best bets nowadays depending on how much he gain standing to be measured.

192cm young with his cowboy's boots is possible. I think Clint always was 190cm without boots. When he was 60 years old, maybe 188cm and now less 185cm is possible because he is 86 years old....

Eastwood was about an inch taller than Eric Fleming on Rawhide, and Fleming gave his height as six foot three. Eastwood was very close in height to Donald Sutherland in Kelly's Heroes, and Sutherland gave his height at that time as six foot four. That's two corroborations of six foot four right there, and there are plenty more for anybody who wants to look for them.

Can't imagine him ever being 6'3 flat. People have already forgotten the clip with Muhammad Ali?
Ali was at least 6'2" and was surprised himself at how tall Eastwood was. 1 inch wouldn't do that, he was at least 6'3.5" in his prime. Early morning measurement gets you 6'4" or very close to it.

Here is an interesting Clint Eastwood fact: If you watch him in the Man With No Name movies, he doesn't change his expression or his tone of voice at any time in any of those movies. No matter what the Man is doing, killing people or being beaten an abused himself, he seems only mildly interested in what is happening. In fact, being tall and having a large, handsome head is pretty much his whole act.
Jack Palance plays an expressionless, monotonic gunfighter in the movie Shane, but got an Academy Award nomination for it. How was that possible? Well, Palance actually seems like a vicious, soulless killer. He doesn't even have to speak and you still know that he is dangerous. He acts like a gunfighter, whereas Eastwood acts more like a mailman whom somebody had handed a pistol.

He was definitely shorter than Rock Hudson in that clip, but not by that much. He seemed a similar towering figure and could seem about 6'6" in the Leone westerns with the hat, boots and low angle. I think at least around 6'4" through Escape from Alcatraz then he started losing height around age 50. I believe he was then a flat 6'3" by the Dead Pool through In the Line of Fire from 1988-1993, so not an usual height loss by age 63. He seemed to lose a bit more the second half of the 90's, but still seemed quite tall, much taller than currently. His huge height loss seemed to occur in his 70s.

Clint to me looks between 1 and 1.5 inches taller than Heston, making Rob's listings of 6'2.5 and 6'3.75 spot on, assuming footwear is even. 6'3.5 peak is arguable but he consistently looked too tall with numerous people to have been 6'3 or under.

Wow, looked at the Heston Eastwood Oscars clip. Brief but great to see them together. Not much difference in height I think. Eastwood a little taller as other posters have noted, don't think it's much more than an inch in difference though. Clint looks at least 6'3'' and maybe was the 6'4'' he claimed. I know guys who claim 6'4'' but I'd guess as slightly less, who knows maybe they are right and I'm wrong.

Jervis - thanks and I'd like to hear your opinion on the clip you pointed to.
I think first and foremost, all would agree that Clint's clearly taller but by how much? It's a fleeting moment together. I'd guess 1 to 1.5 " diff. in Eastwood's favor.
What say you Jervis?
At any rate, great clip of Eastwood lumbered with the task of reading lines of biblical proportions specifically written for Heston. Eastwood handled it with his typical cool and self deprecating sense of humor. Certainly enough to crack Burt Reynolds right up.

I'm with movieguy.
I'm not sure why photos like the one with Clint and Heston can be considered as reasonable evidence. Not head to toe and the angle from which it is taken invites deception via parallax error.
Earlier in the thread Arch Stanton provided a pic of Clint and Heston standing together at a function. Most recently, iosu_lasa provided a pic of Clint and Heston at the very same function more than likely standing in more or less the same position. The main differences between the two photos are the distance, height and angle from which they were taken. Same place, same time, more or less the same positions from the first to the second photo but somehow, in the second photo, Clint looks to have gained even more height advantage over Heston in the same moment of time - of course that's impossible. If the two photos prove anything concrete, they prove that such photos can be very deceiving depending on the vantage point from which they are taken.
For what it's worth, check the two recessed ceiling lights in the 2nd photo, one is on the left sort of above Clint's head and there is one on the right, roughly above Heston's head. I will of course assume those lights to be fixed at exactly the same height but they clearly do not appear to be at the same height in the photo. The light on the left appears higher than the light on the right. An illusion. Since Clint is at left in the photo it might then be reasonably assumed that Clint is gaining a measure of illusory advantage over Heston.
All in all, I would give Clint 1" to 1 1/2" advantage over Heston.

Just to addend to my last post - I wanted to see more of the film NEVER SAY GOODBYE cited by iosu_lasa and found that one of my favorite actors George Sanders was also in it. Sanders was a good 6'3" and possibly 6'3 1/2" at best in my opinion. There a 12 minute or so trailer of the movie also avail. on YouTube and there is a scene in which Sanders (all be he older) is standing acceptably close to Hudson (though not a full length shot). Hudson is clearly taller but accepting Rock at 6'5", Sanders appears a good comparative 6'3" or so in my book. I don't wish to be too much of a naysayer or cynical but it's curious how well Clint measured up in that scene with Hudson. Anyway...

iosu_lasa - Just for it's own sake w/out getting into height that was an awesome clip! Thanks man.
For judging Clint's height it isn't too shabby either. Still, full length shots are best but so hard to come by. Problem for me is that rather than support Clint being between 6'3" - 6'4", he actually appears "too tall" if that makes any sense. For mine, Hudson was an easy 6'5" and as per the vision, Clint does appear virtually as "high" as Rock. Interesting. Also, toward the end of the clip Hudson stands still nicely near the brick work for a possible comparative height check against a static object. Unfortunately, when I went back on the clip when Clint enters the scene he is a little bit more in front and passes the same brick work a little too quickly but of course you can go frame by frame and still extrapolate a bit - Clint still seems to measure up to Rock well with reserve for usual possible hidden variables.

I've compared "young Clint" with "old Clint". On the left he was 38 years old (on the set of "Hang'em High"). He was probably 6'4, maybe 6'3.5, but I really doubt he was shorter than 6'3.5. Today he's probably around 6 ft. (I guess 5'11). He's had some back problems and lost a huge amount of height. But he still has very long legs, which make him look disproportionate. By the way, I'm his great fan and hope he'll make much more excellent movies!

Marvin was only 6 years older than Clint,I dont think he would have lost any height at the age of 44.I have seen the Heston pic many times before,and yes if he was 6ft3 then Clint looks an easy 6ft4 in that pic.But the pic is only from the chest down,floor level and shoes can not be seen.Also Heston said himself he was 6ft2.

Jervis - Just to complicate it a bit I've also seen Presnell listed as high as 6'5". My gut tells me more like 6'4" or somewhere between that and 6'5" but I can't substantiate that.
Heston face up to rock solid 6'4" Price appears 6'2" maybe up to 6'2 1/2 " at absolute best. The pic of Eastwood and Heston is not ideal. Potentially deceptive angle, from chest up only, Eastwood looking up and Heston looking slightly down. Yes, Clint looks a bit taller (sans any illusory advantage from higher standing hair). Shoulder height is comparable. If Heston 6'2 1/2" then Eastwood might reasonably be pegged at 6'3.

You'll believe what you want to believe. What about Clint with Charlton Heston in 1972. Some people argue Heston was 6'3 himself, do you think Clint looks the same height? Click Here

@Tall In The Saddle,I have to agree with your point about Ali and Clint on the Frost show.I think this is clear proof that Clint was not 6ft4 peak and more 6ft3,in fact I would think there should be a downgrade in his height at peak to 6ft3.5 or even a flat 6ft3 peak.Rob what is your opinion on the Frost Show clip?,do you think Clint looks 6ft3.75 next to Ali?Also Presnell is listed as 6ft4 and is clearly the tallest of the three.

Ant,the clip of Clint with Marvin is on stage,and I would presume the ground was level.I caught a glimpse of Marvins footwear,he was wearing runners,the sole looked about 2 cm tick,even if Clint was wearing cowboy boots it would not allow for Clint only being 1 inch taller than Marvin at the time.As for Walcott,he looks slightly taller than Clint maybe half an inch.

Well Ant,By the early 90s he had lost a bit of height,he would have been around 6ft2.5,but at peak 6ft3 to 6ft3.75,somewere in between that.

In my opinion, Ali and Eastwood's appearance on the Frost show provides the best frame of reference to estimate Clint's height. Unlike so many other examples of "comparison" offered, all things are actually very much visible and equal (postures, footwear, head to toe in frame, standing on the same flat surface, in close proximity to one another etc.). There is also the reasonably fixed value of Ali's height against which Clint's questioned height can be compared - Ali's height being a reliably judged 6' 2 1/2" at a minimum. Eastwood looks to be at least a safe 1/2" taller. There is also Ali's own up close and personal testimony that Clint is taller - I doubt Ali would afford that observation if he perceived Clint to be anything less than 1/2" taller. Could Clint wear lifts inside the shoe? Sure, but that is about the only possible hidden variable in this example. Otherwise, I see no better example than this to uphold Eastwood's height. As such I give Clint a safe 6'3".

Well Jervis, looking at assorted photos of the names you mention Eastwood's height seems to be all over the place. Agree that in the Making of Paint Your Wagon footage he appears substantially taller than Marvin. However we don't get to see full body shots showing footwear and ground conditions. re Hackman at photos of a charity lunch in 1990 Eastwood has a comfortable Edge but at the Oscars in 1993 they mostly look the same height. On some photos with Walcott, Walcott is still taller while appearing to slouch. Putting it all together I'd still argue against 6'3 peak - maybe 6'2.5 out of bed peak tops. Tall dude then and still a tall dude now.

Sam,there are other pics of Clint with Holden and he look a easy 6ft3 next to him, even near 6ft4,depending if Holden was 5ft10.5 or 5ft11.The Newman ones are taken as to make Newman not look to short next to Clint.

@firecracker, in those photos Eastwood was bending his knees and leaning, not really irrefutable proof that he was 6'2"...He could still have been over 6'3" and dropping enough near Holden and Newman.

So Clint was just half an inch taller than Lee Marvin? Just go on to youtube and look at THE MAKING OF PAINT YOUR WAGON,BEHIND THE SCENES,pause at 4 min and have a look and see,Clint looks an easy 6ft3 more like 6ft4 depending on Marvins height.Also if Hackman was 188cm and Clint was also 188cm? how come in every pic I have looked at with them both on line Clint is the taller of the two?George Kennedy and Greg Walcott both 6ft4,Clint looked similar in height to both.I dont know were your getting that Kennedy looked 1.5 inches taller, and maybe a little bit more than that, next to Clint.Max to me Kennedy edged Clint out by half an inch and know more.Clint Eastwood peak for me is still 6ft3 min,or max 6ft3.75 and I am sticking to that.Rob do you think there is any chance that Clint was as low as 6ft2 peak?

In some photos 1.88m Whittaker seems to edge out Clint. Also with Marvin in Paint Your Wagon Marvin seems to slouch a lot and on Clint also looks to be standing on higher ground in some shots. On a photo of the two together at the People's Choice Awards Clint looks only slightly taller maybe half an inch or so. Re Fuller if you look at photos of him and his 1.88m listed Laramie costar John Smith - Smith even looks a bit taller than Eastwood by comparison.then when you look at Eastwood with the likes of Gene Hackman 1.88m, 1.83m John Larch and 1.79m listed Carmen Argenziano, 1.88m seems about right. re Kennedy in some scenes in The Eiger Sanction such as when he and Clint are meeting the other climbers he looks to edge out Clint by an inch or more and given his posture doesn't look great Kennedy could be taller still.

If Clint was 6ft2 peak,then Lee Marvin was max 6ft flat ,more like 5ft11,and I am not convinced he was that low.Also it would mean George Kennedy was less than 6ft3,more 6ft2.75.It would also put Gene Hackman in the 6ft flat range,and that would put Sean Connery in the same 6ft flat range,which is very unlikely,and I could go on with more examples.2 inches off Clints listed peak is is too much,too me he always looked a strong 6ft3 guy.Also google Clint with 6ft2 Forest Whitaker and you will see that in 1986 Clint was taller,so unless Whitaker was not even 6ft1 Clint was definitely more than 6ft2 peak.

I saw that pic with Fuller,Clint looks about 4 inches taller,thats 10cm,making Clint 190cm,and if Clint was standing stright and not slouching he would be about 192cm maybe the full 193cm.

When you look at photos of young Eastwood (30s/early 40s) he looks around (188cm) alongside the likes of Richard Burton (177cm) and Robert Fuller (180cm). When you look at him with actor John Larch (183cm) in Play Misty for Me, he's slightly taller. Today I reckon maybe 183cm first thing in the morning and 182cm or 181cm in the evening. He seems to be in great shape for a guy pushing 87 - maybe the result of keeping fit and healthy eating all these years.

Intuitively I would've given Jim Garner 6'1" tops but I haven't made any serious comparisons. I just watched Forbidden Area with Vincent Price and Charlton Heston and one scene has them close together and face to face. Based on 6'4" for Price I would give Heston maybe 6'2" perhaps 6'2 1/2 at a stretch. I've seen the shots of Heston with Bush Jr (chest up) and all being equal, Heston appears to be the same height, which I guess maybe 5'11" for Bush (so 3" off peak for Heston from my POV). A full length shot would be better though to see Heston's posture etc.
If you haven't seen it already check out Christopher Lee as the focus subject on This is Your Life. The final guest is Vincent Price. These two guys stand nice and straight, close together and standard foot wear as far as I can see - there is a long shot and then one closer up. Both Lee and Price perfectly fit their respective 6'5" and 6'4" billings. Excellent yard sticks so to speak.
