In The Killing,he is told by Humphrey Bogart,
he was too tiny to date a certain actress.
He played a jockey in a movie where a gang
is trying to rob a race track. His blonde wife,
towers over him and her boyfriend beat him up.
A talented actor, not more than 5ft2in tall.

The staging is always advantageous to Ladd but never more so than there in Shane!

Not a lot of difference in height between Cook and Alan Ladd, but can you imagine a director shooting this scene with the roles reversed.!

Good find...I couldn't find any links to books that cited Cook's height.
I read a quote from somebody (John Huston?) that surprisingly for a little guy who was always victimized on screen, he was a tough, reclusive and rugged guy who would go between his films to a cabin in the mountains and live off of what he caught (especially trout).

Seems OK yup, always a chance of just under though. I don't think he looked as low as 5 ft 4 flat though. 164-5cm range.

Looks to be re-creating his famed Shane scene in the photo there from 4 years prior.
Yeah, pretty accurate, one of the few actors who made Bogart look tallish in comparison or Alan Ladd didn't have pop on lifts to stand next to. Just saw in Blacula, of all things, he was always a unique presence.
