he [6ft 5 inch John Corbett] walks into the restaurant, and I'm like, 'Look at that guy; he's perfect. He's the all-American guy. And he's taller than me, which is important, because I'm 5-6 and all the leading men in L.A. are 4-11. They come in with boxes to stand on to audition.

In "My Life in Ruins", she's barefoot standing next to (what I presume is) a barefoot Richard Dreyfuss,..who's almost 5-5:

I can't remember watching that movie, might have to add it to my list, which is now under 5,000 😁
I can watch many types of movies...if the film is a little 'boring' I will pay more attention to height...
if a film is able to make me forget how tall the actor's looked, that's a bloody great movie!

In the movie MBFGW, Nia always appears a bit shorter than 5'5.5" Lainie Kazan(her mother). I think Nia is 5'5".

I just saw her in My life in ruins, such a great movie, and she's a great actress. She looked about 5"6 -5"7 to me after taking off the heels, because she was wearing some pretty high wedges the whole time, but she still looked pretty tall, maybe it was just her frame that made her look taller.
I would say about 5"5'1/2 to 5"6

Wow....I would have guessed 5-8 to 5-9...She has large bone structure and gave a taller impression in My Life In Ruins. Of course, she was wearing large heels during much of the film.

There are images of her on wireimage next to Teri Hatcher and she is a couple inches shorter. Teri is 5'5.5" so Nia must be at 5'5" maximum. Wonderful actress.
