How tall is Mary Kate Olsen

Layla said on 19/Feb/23
In this pic Ashley (on the left) looks like an inch taller than MK. But it could just be her heel is taller. They are very tiny women.

On the internet she is laisted at 5'2 but she is clearly not 5'2 im giving her a 4'11.

heyyyyyyyy said on 29/Mar/21
4'11.25" for her!

Nik Ashton said on 28/Jun/20
@ Rob - Is Mary Kate on the left?

Alanna said on 26/Jun/20
To be honest I think this listing is correct. I can't even see Mary or Ashley at 5'1" or 2. Google can list some heights right and some heights they can list wrong.

The above photograph lights up celebheights!

Apparently most comments about these girls are wrong. I find it amusing when people are so sure about something just looking at pictures! I believe the 4"10" to 5"feet.

Miss Sandy Cowell said on 13/Jun/19
🎉🕯️🎂 Happy Birthday Mary Kate! 🎂🕯️🎉

Low and behold, I thought I was just on Mary Kate's page, but I must be getting tired...

Then I realised that there was a smidge of a height difference before my eyes, so I don't need them tested after all!

A happy, Happy Birthday to Mary Kate!

4ft11.

katerina said on 28/Jul/18
both of them are about 1m50 so 4'11 and 4'11.5 is more than accurate! Rob you have a pretty accurate eye that's impressive.

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii said on 26/Feb/18
Her license says 5’2 and a magazine said MK is 5’2 and Ash is 5’1

Rose said on 6/Nov/17
Neither of them is 5'1". A woman that height would be the same height (or close) to lots of other women. They are always dwarfed by every other woman in every single picture I could find. They are likely around 4'10". Even small woman are clearly taller than they are. There is no way in hell either one of them is taller than 5 feet.

Perfidia said on 20/Feb/17
Really liked the Full House show, but didn't care for the Olsen twins. Especially, now that they are all grown up. They aren't very attractive at all. They look like two big-eyed lemurs.

Sandy Cowell said on 10/Feb/17
...and now it's time for Ashley! I couldn't just leave her out - I didn't have the heart!
As the main write-up was on her twin Mary-Kate's page, I shall make it up to Ashley by giving her some pretty pictures, oh - and a guess of 4ft11.5, just a quarter of an inch taller than her sister! 👭 👸👸 💕 💐💐

Mary Kate is 5'2" and Ashley is 5'3".

littlesue said on 29/Jul/16
They don't look under 4ft 11 to me, if anything more around 5ft

Eve said on 27/Jul/16
Here Click Here MK and Ashley are dwarfed by their sister Elizabeth who is listed here as 5'4.5", but appears at least 6 inches taller than the twins... while 5'9" Cat Deeley and Heidi Klum look gigantic next to them. They must be under 4'11".

Max said on 3/Nov/15
Given "Hollywood" math, they are probably really 4'9"

donna said on 10/Sep/15
And I always feel like the jolly green giant at 5'7". People always think I'm my older sister because we look alike but she's only 4'11".

Harper said on 9/Jul/15
I was walking past Ashley in CA a few years ago and stopped to say hi. She seemed shy but really nice. You could tell she was on her way somewhere so it was only 2 mins, but we were both in flat shoes, I am 5'2 and have a friend who is 4'10 and they are the exact same height. My friend also says she is 5', sounds better. She says when she says her exact height she gets awws and feels like a child lol.

LaurA Hodge said on 28/Nov/14
Actually they're 5'0 and 5'3" I heard an interview on Diggit when I was 6.

Gigi said on 4/Aug/14
I'm taller then her and I'm 10 not trying to be hate full cuz I love the twins but really

Realist said on 16/Jul/14
If a little man like Hunter Parrish can make you look tiny, u are small. 4'11 tops, spot on Rob, fist 5. Rob wats ur estimation for Hunter Parrish 169-170.

me said on 15/Sep/13
@Batman, I remember that interview. They said they were 5 & 5 ft. 1 with Ashley being the one inch taller of the two. They don't have any reason to lie. They are short regardless.

me said on 15/Sep/13
@natalie, I didn't see the heels of Nicole's pics in that picture. Her shoes must have a heel because without the bent leg, she looks like she would be close to the height of Emma R. in the pic.

Batman TAS said on 11/Sep/13
Click Here On 17:45 they say that they are 5'1.

Mary-kate is way more shorter than that. I saw her and Ashley when they was launching their Bik Bok collection in Stockholm and they were VERY short, maybe 4'7.

carly said on 18/Jul/13
I wish I could be this short! I am a 5'10" 17 year old girl...people look at me like I am some foreign creature. I guess it is all relative.

Both Nicole and Ashley are in flats. Standing next to a five foot Nicole, I would say Ashley is 4'10".

Thoughts?

She's shorter than 4'11.

K said on 23/Jun/13
Little Sue is correct. For American women, 20, 5'6 is at the 74th percentile and 5'3 is at the 30th percentile. Mary Kate is under the 3rd percentile, probably at around the 1st percentile. That means that 99% of American women, 20, are taller than her.

little sue said on 20/Jun/13
I would put 5ft 6 the start of tall and under 5ft 3 as short based on British women of all ages

kylie said on 18/Jun/13
Is 5'6" considered tall for a woman? What height is short and what height is tall for a woman?

O said on 22/May/13
On her drivers license it says 5'2

anonangel said on 23/Dec/12
Mary Kate is 5'1" and Ashley is 5'2" from what I read.

Mariposa said on 23/Oct/12
Jodie Sweetin I know is about 5'5, Lori Laughlin is about 5'6. Candace Cameron is only 5'2 but she towers over the Olsens,so they must be under 5'

Lindsay said on 14/Sep/12
brit - I agree with you! Her sister Lizzie Olsen (who is 5'5) towers her in pics. If you take her height against others like you did, I would say she is 4'9 too...4'10 is pushing it. I read Anon and Ashlyn's posts below who have actually seen her, it makes complete sense.

mina said on 12/Sep/12
5'2-5'0 I think

brit said on 19/Aug/12
Hey Guys,

So, hear me out. I think it is obvious that Rachel Bilson is 5 feet tall because she looks it and she says in a rap written about her that she is, "five feet nothing". Okay so then look at a pic of five foot rachel with Karl Lagerfield and you will see where she hits his face and then compare that to a picture of MKA with Karl and you will see that there is at least a two inch difference between where they hit him and where rachel hits him. I would say that Mary-Kate is 4'9" and Ashley is 4'10". What do you guys think? Do you think that my conclusion makes sense?

Rach said on 16/Aug/12
4 11 is about right, maybe 5ft. I'm 5 6 and I'm not 13 yet. I like being tall, but at times, it gets on my nerves! My mum brought me a maxi dress. It was xtra long length. It's still above my ankles!

luigi said on 22/Sep/11
height is a + if you know how to handle it and a - if you dont.@Very Tall you are kind of ridiculous by saying that being tall has absolutely no benefits,cause you are insecure.my best friends sister is 6 ft tall and super gorgeous and i would date her but my friend doesnt trust me.ana ivanovic,stacy keibler,keren gilian,petra nemkova mandy moore etc are tall celebrities and look how pretty they are.if you dont like yourself nobody is going to like you.

Ashlyn said on 24/Jun/11
I am so glad I found this site! I want to share what I know. I met MK 5 years ago passing by on the street. I stopped and said hi, she was gracious and shyly said hi back. I complimented her and we went on our way. I am 5'2. She was a little taller than my shoulder (we were both in flats). My young cousin is 4'9, and that is exactly what she looked like to me. I would say 4'10 is pushing it. Just FYI, I know MK said she was 5' on Oprah, but people a little less than 5 feet can pull that off, especially if they wear heels. My friend is 4'11 and always tells people she is 5'1 lol. Also, sorry to say, a driver's license doesn't mean diddley squat. I got my permit at about 15 and noted my height at 5'4 hoping I would grow--well I didn't lol I am 27, and to this day my license says 5'4 haha...the DMV should really measure 15/16 year olds--but oh well. Either way, she was and is gorgeous. Still to this day, I am a fan.

i think height of a woman doesnt matter if she has nice body (nice legs...)im 160cm and i hate when my friends say im short but then i think about ashley and marykate and other celebreties and myself confidence is back :D

andie said on 6/Apr/11
Your driver's license says whatever YOU want it to say. %F@ and 85lbs is not true. MK can't be taller than 5feet and weigh 85lbs. I know she is very skinny, but 85lbs at 5f2 would make her look much skinnier and sick.
Sorry to say this, but women this small gross me out.

Anon said on 26/Feb/11
I was at NYU when they were there. One of them, I think it was MK, had a class next to mine. I'm about 5'2.5 and she came up to my shoulder at best. I don't know how tall either are, and they might've had a growth spurt, but they are seriously tiny in person. 5' is the most generous I would be, and I think 4'10 might be right. Again I don't know for sure and this was years ago, but she's nowhere near my height.

Why are people in here guessing and telling us their opinions, when their personal opinions have absolutely nothing to do with the reality? "I think (want this person to be) blabla feet tall" that's just ridiculous. Get some information first. Mary kate is 5'2, as you can see here Click Here

Anonymous said on 5/Jan/11
Unless any of you people have seen them in person with measuring tape, stop naysaying. How someone looks in a photo or on TV has nothing to do with actual height. It's called depth perception, angles, and various shoe heights. Idiots.

Ben said on 30/Jun/09
Are you kidding she is 5'0 I thought she was like 5'3 somewhere around there. I bet she wheres 4-5 inches heels just to make her taller.

johnny said on 27/Jun/09
id say shes 4'11. as mule said nicole is 5'1 and in this picture Click Here
nicole looks about two inches taller and that is that marykates heels seem much bigger! theyre both cuties tho :D

Doug said on 4/May/09
Bet she's not even 5' without shoes. Looks more like 4'10.5-4'11" to me. I HATE the way though that girls like her, Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan think smoking is cool. The amount of girls their age who smoke today is quite frightening.

She looks really really small, even being that skinny she doesn't look taller. Big hair, huge head... she is a very small girl all around.

More about twins... I've known three sets of fraternal twins.

There were fraternal twins, a boy and a girl, in my grade school class. The brother was about three inches taller than his sister.

There were fraternal twins, two sisters, in my high school class. One of the girls was a couple of inches taller than the other.

The people who lived next door to me in the house that I grew up in, had grandchildren who were fraternal twins. One of the sisters was about six inches taller than the other.

Also, when my teacher in high school brought her identical twin sister to class one day, her sister was seated throughout the class, so I couldn't tell if they were the same height. When I met the identical twin of my friend in college, she also was seated, but the twins appeared to be approximately the same height.

I know the Olson twins are fraternal, but I think they look alike.

observer said on 18/Aug/08
I've known four sets of identical twins. Only two of the sets actually appeared identical.

I had a teacher in high school who had an identical twin. She brought her sister to class one day. My teacher was pregnant, but also had a fat face and fat neck. Her sister was thin, with a thin face and thin neck.

There were identical twins at music camp. One played the French horn and the other played the saxophone. I couldn't tell them apart.

One of the women in my dorm in college had an identical twin sister. Her sister visited once. I saw both of them walk out of the dorm. They were the same height and walked the same. I couldn't tell them apart.

I had a friend at that same college who had an identical twin sister. My friend was the black sheep of the family. Her twin sister was the favorite. My friend didn't practice the piano very much. Her sister practiced a lot. Their father was a music professor, so of course he favored the twin who practiced the piano. My friend was always complaining about the way she was treated by her parents, compared to the way her sister was treated. I met her sister once. Her sister was a student at a different college. I could tell them apart. My friend switched her major from music to art, then dropped out of college. I lost touch with her. I don't know how she turned out.

sb said on 13/Aug/08
SF - incorrect, there are twins who are drastically different in height. I have twin fraternal nieces from my brother, they are 4" different in height, one is heavier than the other and they have different shades of hair.

I also have twin niece and nephews from my husband, the boy is several inches and much larger then the girl.

On top of that if you actually look online you will see that fraternal twins having a height difference of 12" isn't that unusual.

sf said on 1/Aug/08
Fraternal twins do not share the exact genetic code. Regarding opposite sexes -one is a MALE, one is a FEMALE. By this difference, alone, they share a different genetic code. Fraternal twins, of the same sex, as you just said, have a different genetic make-up. You answered your own question. Your point?

rh said on 1/Aug/08
SF--Identical twins share the same exact genetic code because a single egg splits. Fraternal twins, even if they are of the same sex, share as much genetics as any other siblings. Fraternal twins are two eggs that just happen to be in the same womb. Fraternal twins of the same sex can easily be different heights because they have different genetic makeup.

sf said on 1/Aug/08
No el toppo - you're wrong. Exceptions can always be found. In my life, which is probably longer than yours, I've known many twins, most almost always the about the same height. They are born with basically the exact same genetic potential for growth. Give or take, they will be almost the same height. Shall I give you examples of all the twins I have ever known who were about the same height?

No, your logic is incorrect. Brothers and sisters do NOT share the exact, same genetic code. Twins, do. That's why they are generally the same height, give or take. Brothers and sisters? You do not know of what you speak. Since a male and female inherently share a different genetic code, that, well, makes one a man and one a woman, and women, on average, are shorter than men (btw - they also have breasts and a vagi***, men don't); a sister and brother usually are not the same height.

Twins of the same sex share the exact same genetic code. It's a scientific fact. Give or take, they are generally the same height. But, as humans, we have completely distorted our natural experiences of growing, eating, exercising, etc. Two twins could eat completely differently, exercise differently, be involved in different experiences, etc. etc. This can/will affect their final heights.

el toppo said on 31/Jul/08
sf says on 24/Jul/08
Yes, being a twin does affect your height.

NO, being a twin does not affect your height. Here's two examples, I am 191cm and my TWIN brother is 203cm. One of my brothers pals is around 178cm, his TWIN brother is lucky to be pushing 170cm. If we go by your argument (ie same experience, exercise) then ANY brother and sisters that came up together should be the same height!

sf said on 24/Jul/08
Yes, being a twin does affect your height. A pair of twins, who have roughly the same experience, same exercise, eat roughly the same foods - will be roughly the same height.

laura said on 23/Jul/08
i am only fifteen and i'm 5'8 and my twin is 5'10 - being a twin does not affect your height!

Ahna said on 14/Jun/08
I am finished growing and about 4'10. When on holiday, I saw Mary-Kate and she was my height, if not a half an inch shorter (she and I were in flats). I can tell you that it's time for a downgrade. I doubt she would say anything less than 5'0 on Oprah because then she would be teased by the media. I know many short people under 5' including myself, that in heels can appear an almost avg height sometimes. Thats why people tend to think MK &A are 5'2 or 5'3. Because they're in heels all the time.

Vampiric said on 6/May/08
Hmm. 5 feet, huh? I gotta say, I thought she was about 5'2, 5'3 even.

Mary said on 1/May/08
I think that MK is probably 5.0 or 5.1. I think that she is beautiful the way she is. Too many people make comments about being short. I know because I am around 5.1 or 5.2. Many people think that my younger sister, who is taller than me, is older than me. I am 2 years older than her. I am 16 and she is 14. I have learned to not get upset when people stay things about my height.

anonymous no-name said on 30/Apr/08
being a twin hardly has anything to do with your final height. Nor does being born pre-maturely. Of course it CAN have an effect, but you can't just say someone is small as an adult because they are twins or were born pre-maturely. It doesn't work like that.

Your possible height is determined by genetics, and your actual height is determined by things like nutrition and growth hormones. Yes, your time in the womb is important for further development, but is doesn't in any way mean you're going to end up smaller than any of your (other) siblings if you get a bit less nutrition in the womb.

naina said on 21/Apr/08
well im 4'10" and of course buying stuff my size can be harrowing.... i seriously dnt think there's anything wrong with being petite ...
p.s-@observer... yeah im a preemie too but my mum had a healthy appetite....

miaow said on 17/Mar/08
As u see in this pick, Kelly is taller than Mary Kate and she's 5'2. So, M. K. probably is 5'0 or 4'11. But it's so doesn't matter, cause she's gorgous. Click Here

observer said on 19/Feb/08
That preemie comment makes sense. The Olsen twins had to share nutrition meant for one baby. In many cases, only one twin survives, because one twin dominates in the womb.

I met a guy who didn't have fingernails. He said it had something to do with him being a twin. He said his twin died. I'm not sure which one of those two was the dominant one.

Lisa Marie Presley is 5'2" Lisa Marie's mother is 5'4" and her father was about 6 feet tall. I read that Lisa Marie's mother didn't gain very much weight when pregnant because she wanted to look as thin as possible for Elvis while she was pregnant. A mother not eating enough for a single fetus is like twin fetuses sharing food meant for one fetus.

Aubrey said on 5/Feb/08
My twin and I are short too (5'01), I think most twin girls are short due to being so preemie. As for MK she looks short--4'10-5'01 prob. All depends on the shoes she wears. Gaurrav, generally a guy has a 'type', they like tall or petite. At 5'11, either would work for you.

I once saw pictures in People magazine of Mary Kate and Ashley wearing floor length formal gowns which seemed unusually long. It looked as if the parts of their dresses from the waist down were way too long compared to the upper parts of their dresses. I think that both of the Olsen twins stood on boxes... then a dress designer measured the distance from their waists to the bottom of the boxes, to measure the length of material needed for the dresses. After the pictures were taken with the twins standing on boxes, the dresses could have been shortened to floor length.

I heard that Jason Earles(he plays Jackson in Hannah Montana) is 30 years old and because of his height he plays someone half his age and he seems ok about that as he is such a good actor. So people that think that being short is not exactly "good" then I hope that I have proved you wrong. As for the tall people like myself(I am 5'6..I know you're thinking not very tall but to my friends, I am!)being tall is great because people look up to you and they will have a different message when they see you!

Oh YAY, I was beginning to give up searching for celebrities shorter than 5'. I'm 4'9 and I've always wanted to know if there is ANYONE in Hollywood who isn't 5'7.

I have never met MK however compared to her costars who are 5-1 or 5-2 there is no way she is are 5-0. MK is definatly in the four feet range somewhere. I think its time for a downgrade. I believe theres enough information.

Adrianna said on 8/Jun/07
anonymous, I never said that them being tiny wasn't beautiful. However, this is a celebrity height site. People want to know their height. Noone was putting them down.

Amy, I love your attitude :). You are probably the only healthy one on this site!

Adrianna said on 1/Jun/07
I live in Santa Monica CA and have met many stars. I have run into MK more than Ash and no way is she is 5'00. That should probably be updated. I would say she is 4'9 or 4'10, she is a tiny girl. I am 5'1 and she is approx 4 inches shorter.

Amy said on 30/May/07
I'm a teeny 5'1". I love being this small and so does my 6'2" boyfriend. Some people think I'm around 5'4" and others have thought I was 4'11" so it just depends on a person's perception of you. I once met a girl who I could have sworn was shorter than me, and it turned out she was 5'2'. I think it's pretty unfair when other people go on and on about how small someone is although I figure it mustn't be a bad thing because they probably wouldn't say it to your face if it was (ever hear someone go on and on about how fat someone is to their face?) Tiny people - you're gorgeous just like Kylie Minogue, Rachel Bilson and Eva Longoria and don't you ever let anyone tell you otherwise!

People are beautiful at any shape, size or height as long as they are healthy and happy in themselves. Stop putting people down, and you might actually find you love yourself a little more.

also, and this is just a theory, but maybe since mk had an eating disorder and wasn't getting proper nutrients, she didn't grow to her maximum height.

No, they aren't "mean". They just aren't the usual publicity hound type of celebs many are used to encountering.

Hey Glenn, is it true that they are both mean? I've read in magazines that they are both anti-social and usually in a bad mood!

Emma said on 15/Dec/06
Hahaha ohhhhh okay. I thought she had height increse surgery or something. Lol. Yeah, that would clear it up. Thankyou.

Emma,
The 'Stallonoscopy' is a joke on Sylvester Stallone, as he seemed to 'grow' after becoming famous.

Emma said on 14/Dec/06
Is this Stallonoscopy thing a joke? And how much did it make her grow? So shouldn't she be upgraded?

I am a model and travel to LA often and have ran into both twins a few times. I have to say, There is no way is Marykate 5. Tallest 4'10 shortest 4'09. Every wonder why all of the sudden hey wernt from flip flop freaks to platform divas? They would tell every one that they are 5'1 or 5'2. People who saw them knew instatly then that they were not as they said. I even overheard them saying it in a conversation with someone a little taller then them. The fact is, in platforms shoes they are 5'1 or 5'2 in flip flops she is 4'9 or 4'10. I have seen her recently too. I can not phathom how short she would have been before a Stallonoscopy?

Lovely B - please, when did you last measure them?

Glenn said on 13/Nov/06
Hard to say.I see them every week.both very mean.5ft tops.could be a hair smaller.

Lovely B said on 12/Nov/06
How can anyone believe they are really 5'2 and 5'3 or even 5'0 and 5'1????????? They are VERY SHORT girls. 5'2 and 5'3 first of all aren't even really short, just a little bit below average. Hasn't anyone noticed that they don't only just appear like petite women with their costars but rather like little children. If they were really only 5'2 and 5'3, they wouldn't constantly get referred to as pint-sized. You don't hear Salma Hayek or Jessica Simpson get referred to as little all the time and they only appear minimally shorter than their average height costars. MK and Ash always come across as little girls playing dress-up in adult clothes. Also if Mk was really 5 ft, then her new bf would have to be about 6'4 but he isn't, he is only 6. I'm in the 5 ft- 5'2 range (With all the lies of other people of their own heights and inconstistent measures of my height, I don't know) but I am honestly not all that short. Below average sure but no one comments on my height and I look minimally shorter than the average people I know. The same is not true for the Olsen's though, they are noticeably little and judging by what all the other short people have said, who are taller than they are, I give them 4'10 and 4'11 MAX. MK may even be 4'9.

In their website they now are selling mobile backgrounds and you can clearly see if you maximize it that they put Mary-Kate as 5"0 because they have one that looks like a driving liscense.

That Oprah show was filmed before they were 18 and is why their father had to be there. MK had agreed to something like being 5, 5 ft. 1 or so just prior to Oprah having Ashley that because she is about one inch taller, she is 5 ft. 2.

Ashley usually tries to play up the shortness while MK usually likes to add height. MK is just a bit over 5 ft. 0 and Ashley is a bit over 5 ft. 1.

Esp. in the DisneyWorld pics with John Stamos, they don't appear to be shorter than that, judging by the shoes they are wearing and the people with them in the photos.

They both look pretty short, But it's reported everywhere that marykate is 5'2 and ashley is 5'3 It looks about right if you look at a picture of them in solid 3 inch heels. It makes marykate 5'5 and ashley 5'6 It looks right on the money if you ask me, I saw 5'2 & 5'3

Just because they are twins does not mean they have to be the same height. Judging by their physiques, it appears they are anorexic. So if malnutrition is taken into account due to bad eating habits to stay thin, its very possible one is shorter than the other.

Emma W said on 24/Sep/06
I hate how everywhere it says the twins are the SAME HEIGHT! MK is definitely like 2 inches shorter. About 5ft id say. But she's so skinny so that may make her look even smaller

Alex said on 14/Aug/06
I remember for a while one was listed at 5'2 and the other 5'3. Mary Kate is def not over 5'0. The guy does look over 6'0 though for sure. 6'2-6'3 though so that would put mary Kate at 5'0 and no more. Ashley would be 5'1 then.

Wicked Kid said on 10/Aug/06
Whoaaaaa. Have you seen that guy and Mary-Kate?!! She looks 4'10"!!!

Anonymous said on 22/Jul/06
I remember reading in magazine about those two.They wrote that the guy was 6'3 and mary kate 5'0.

Okay so I will tell you from seeing MK in real life (plus by cuz and my aunt have also seen BOTH). Well my cuz and my aunt met MK & ASH when they were filming ny min b/c they were in NYC vacationing. At that time my cousin was 5' even and she was wearing flats, mk and ash were wearing heels and ash was a little taller than her (b/c mk and ash were wearing heels) and she said mk was slightly shorter. Now from being an Olsen fan for so many years I didnt beleive that MK & ASH were that short. UNTIL I went in to Starbucks last summer in the hollywood hills and saw her in person! I was so excited Well at first this big guy took her into the back of the place because she was overwhenmed by people. But, when I left the store I went theough that ally in the back of the store (because I was going to meet my friend shopping) I saw her inches from me! We even said hello. But anywayz getting to my point I am 5'01 and I was wearing flats and MK was wearing flats. I just want to say I dont even this she is 5' She was like prob up to my nose which is the same as my 11 year old sister is now and shes 4'9. My height est for mk is 4'9- 4'11. You can deny it but I saw her up close. Just wanted to share :)

Theres a pick of MK and Ashley next to Salma Hayek who says shes 5'2" and these Olsen twins were at least 2-3 inches shorter than Salma. They do not look like they are over 5 ft. They all had heels on.

ice said on 2/Jun/06
If that guy is 6 feet flat, then she's much shorter than 5'0. More like 4'9 LOL

you mean 4'11"?

ds said on 14/Apr/06
I was on a modeling site and the people were talking about whether it's better to be short or tall. And they listed a list of short girls that had MK at 5'2" and 2 girls claimed to have met them and both said they were really short. Like 5'11".

Lucy said on 12/Feb/06
I saw mary-kate last year and i'm 5'7 and I Towered over her!

Anonymous said on 21/Jan/06
I saw her last year in NYC at a coffee shop. Im 5'1 and 1/2 and when i stood near her we were the exact same height.If it matters,we were both wearing flat shoes(she was wearing converse and i was wearing ballet flats) so for the record,she's 5'1" and a 1/2

Ok, I just watched the actual clip (as opposed to just audio), so one last time here is what they said:
And if you want to view the short clip click here

Oprah: "Cause you guys are what, five, you're 5' 1, five..."

Ashley: "Five......Five, Five One"

[it seems because oprah said 'you guys', Ashley appears to be stating both of their heights, hence the 5 and '5ft 1']

Oprah: "5'1, ok. So that means if you're 5' 1 [pointing to MK], then you're [pointing to ashley] 5' 2."

Ashley (shaking her head): "Yeah, except for that I'm not 5' 2."
Mary Kate: "No, yeah...And I don't even think I'm 5' 1, so"

Everything I've seen on Amy Davidson, even directly out of her mouth, states that she is 5 ft. even. She is the red haired actress on "8 Simple Rules" and was their best girl friend on their "So Little Time" show.

They were 15ish during that show and Amy was already a grown adult. Anyway, Ashley was already then taller than Amy & MK was about the same height; that was then. They appear to have grown a little in height since that show.

It isn't unusual for a female to grow another .5 or so around 15-16 yet most have the bulk of their height by 17-18. Notice that I never speak in absolutes; I do not use "all" & "never", so I know exceptions do exist.

From Gawker.com, "saw mary kate olsen today (11/4) coming out of 27 w 20th - a random office building that apparently houses some masseuse to the stars (as my elevator companion and fellow mk stalker let me know). mk looked ridiculously tiny - i'm 5'3'' and literally TOWERED over her."
