Kristen Johnston's Height
6ft 0 (182.9 cm)
American Actress best known for appearing on tv show Third Rock from the Sun. She said on WENN "I'm 6 foot and a size 8" and on twitter, "I'm 6 ft exactly. Have been since I was 12."
I was 5 foot 11½ at age 13. I was enormous, a monstrosity, a freak. I've always been an outsider. People on the street don't talk to me like I'm Pamela Anderson. They talk to me like I'm kinda scary.

Now it's wonderful. I wouldn't trade an inch. But most of my life my height was something to be ashamed of, mortified by, weirded out by.

I feel like she can look ever so slightly taller than Allison Janney on "Mom" in recent years so I wouldn't go under 6'0. She's super tall!

Kirsten is 6' and unfortunately, she's gained a lot of weight. At her height, she'd have to be more than 210 pounds. What's sad is that the weight gain is very,very likely due to her lupus. She was diagnosed about 10 years ago. I applaud her for continuing to work, in her field. She's also got about 20 years clean & sober. She's amazing & a doll.

Not only that, but she also said she stopped growing at 12. Her comments contradict each other.

It’s interesting that she claimed to be 6’0” at age 12 and 5’11.5” at 13!

She admits to being 5'11.5" at age 13, and she claimed to have stopped growing at 12. I doubt she was ever a full solid 6'0".

There is nothing wrong with women being very tall and it is not unusual either. Everyone should celebrate height diversity because every height is cool, for both men and women. There must be many millions of women in the world who are at least 6'0"!

Ah thanks Rob. :). Anyways, yeah. It gets super confusing. Like when I once said I'm a size 10 (as in shoe size), people told me that I look nowhere near a size 10 dress size, had to tell em I'm talking about shoes!
And all this conversion stuff makes my head hurt having to remember which one's which.

Rob, does she mean size 8 as in shoe size or dress size? Or was she never clear on what she meant?

Editor Rob I'm sure she means dress size.
I wish decades ago countries could have unified shoe sizes, dress sizes and measurements.
Standardised it all so there was no confusion...

I can relate to those girls who wish to be average. I myself am a giant compared to most women. Even taller than Sally on 3rd Rock. At 6'3" I stand very close to Dick (John Lithgow)'s height.
