@Rob, check out Click Here 26:20. She's described as five feet five and a half and 112 pounds. He swears that a good description. You know I think it's accurate, more accurate than 5 ft 6 and that was her actual height. Can you tweak to 5'5.5?

Any chance of a photo, Rob? She was one of the most beautiful actresses ever, whether in photos or film, one couldn't keep their eyes off of her if she's in it.

Here is a group photo from the 50's showing Loretta Young looking nearly 2" shorter than Lucille Ball, who was at least 5'-7".

Also in the photo are Danny Thomas, Marlene Dietrich, Mitzi Gaynor and Esther Williams, who at 5'-8.5" was the tallest of the women, although Ball appears to be the tallest in this slightly skewed photo.

Actually looks near 5'10 (in heels) next to Orson Welles. I could buy 169.

Looks tallish in The Stranger in heels but a 5'6" woman of her generation usually did pull off looking quite tall on screen in heels.
