His partner in Mrs Doubtfire was Scott Capurro. The latter is listed as 6’2”. If so 6’0” is a fair listing for Fierstein

Looked about 5’11” or maybe a hair over in Mrs Doubtfire. Wasn’t as tall as his partner I don’t think and didn’t stand out as extremely towering over Robin Williams. It was prob 4-5” tops. I could buy 5’11.5” for him but maybe he had begun to lose height

Bizarre how this guy used to get listed as high as 6ft5 in places!
Google still has him at 1.89m
Editor Rob
Looking at him with Tommy Tune and Broderick, albeit closer, that's a noticeable difference with Tommy in his peak height years.
Yeah if Tune is 6’6.5 like he claims he Firestein definitely doesn’t look 6’2.5 let alone 6’5. Would’ve said he’s a strong 6’0 there it looks close to if not 6”

How about a page for susan kellerman rob she was in beetlejuice, the devil's advocate, last holiday, death becomes her and elvira mistress of the dark. She definitely looked 5ft 10 peak. Not a cm below

No way is he 6ft 1. There's an episode of murder she wrote where he shared scenes with actress susan kellermann she's 5ft 10 and in flats was the same height as harvey. I cant buy over 5ft 11 peak for him

Editor Robnot sure as short as 5ft 11, but it is hard to see him over 6ft beside her and Lansbury who was already shrinking at that point.

He definitely looked shorter than 6'1 next to Jeff Goldblum in ID (and he was just over 40 by the time of the movie).

You've got to be kidding me, this guy can't be taller than 5ft10, maybe a weak 5ft11. Look at him next to 5ft7-7.5 Broderick.

No taller than 6' flat based on Independence Day, might even be 5'11. Goldblum looked easily 4-5 inches taller to me, at least when he stood straight. Fierstein barely reached his eyelevel. If he's 6'2 that would make Jeff 6'6-6'7 LOL.

In Independence Day, Jeff Goldblum did in fact tower over Harvey by at least 2-3 inches, so I'll stick with Harvey being no more than 6-6'1"

He looked 2" shorter than Jeff Goldblum in INDEPENDENCE DAY. And Goldblum has never looked anything less than 6'4". Better watch out guys, my shrink cousin says homophobia is often caused by a tight closet? :-)

When he's usually floating a few inches off the floor how can one accurately measure his height?

WOW! I am shocked by this one! Granted, I have never really compared his height to another actor's, but I never would have put him at more than 5'10".

I would say he is closer to 6'1", after watching " Kull the Conqueror" and a seen with Geoff Goldblum in " Independence Day".
