Toyah Wilcox's Height
5ft 1 (154.9 cm)
English Singer and actress from Quadrophenia. She said in The Daily Mirror "It irritates me that I'm so incredibly short. I think I'm 5ft, but it depends which leg I stand on. If I haven't got my rise in my shoe, I have to stand on tiptoe on the left leg. There's almost two inches difference". In this photo she had about 2 inches more footwear than me.
5ft 8 Rob and Toyah @ Memorabilia 2007
I’m in really good shape considering what women have to go through to get to 52. I’m exactly the same weight — just under 8st — as I was in the Eighties, but I look bigger because I’ve shrunk an inch in height to 5ft 1in.
-- Daily Mail, 2011 (Mar 29)
I don't like being small, because it does affect how people speak to you. They speak down to you, not nastily but it's kind of: “well, she's small, we'll look down on her”. I have a real problem with it because mentally I feel I'm 6 foot tall, and then I have to keep reminding myself I'm barely 5 foot.
They called me barrel as a kid because I was small and fat and round. But I see myself as a giant now, not someone severely short, though I'm only 5ft 1in and 8st 10lb.
-- Evening Standard, 19th March 1993
I'm about 5 ft, a size 8 and weigh the same as I did at 14: 7 st 13 lb

I can’t see Toyah over 5 ft, I really can’t.

I was listening to the King Crimson track ‘Cat Food’ again this morning when I came across a 1968 album entitled ‘The
Cheerful Insanity Of Giles, Giles and Fripp’, Robert Fripp
being Toyah’s rocker husband.
I’m listening to it and it’s HILARIOUS!
Toyah gets 5ft0.75. I’m agreeing with you, Christian!
⭐️ Ms Wilcox played the part of Monkey in Quadrophenia.

@Sandy
I'd giver her 5'0.5" at the very least. 4'11.5" and 5ft are too low. Personally, I think 5'0.75"-5'1" is fair.

Toyah has recorded a duet with husband Robert Fripp (5ft7) from King Crimson. I think it might be a Black Sabbath number but I'm not sure. I noticed that to her credits is a copy of King Crimson's 'The Court of the Crimson King', one of my favourites of theirs.
5ft. 🎵🎶😄👌

@ Sandy Cowell - I would love to see her in "Quadrophenia" so I could compare her to the fairly short cast. Sting is currently 5'10.5" and some people think he is shorter than this, did you ever think Toyah was over 5'1"? Toyah once thought she was 5'0"!

@ Nik - Toyah looks rather small in the movie 'Quadrophenia', even though the cast is a fairly short one, causing me to think that singer Sting was around 6ft1!

She is not even close to being incredibly short.

What a coincidence! I have just requested Toyah's husband Robert Fripp, guitarist with progressive rock group King Crimson and then up pops Toyah as a Random Celeb!
She was almost certainly 5ft1 in her 'Quadrophenia' days but now is doubtless below 5ft. She should really have two boxes by now....
Today Toyah can have 4ft11.5.

Has anyone heard the LP 'Court of the Crimson King'? What a powerful piece of music!

Oh yes! I remember Toyah as 'Monkey' from the brilliant film.'Quadrophenia', which I saw at the pictures in 1980. In fact, I used to play The Who's 'Quadrophenia' when I was gardening! It turned the chore into something quite, quite groovy!
Toyah, who's a very interesting lady, and married to King Crimson's Robert Fripp, can have 5ft1. 😉

Editor RobI think she was 49-50 the time I met her and I'd agree...

Found out the other day she was married to Robert Fripp. Fripp has been part of G3 with Satriani and Vai of course.

I still have a fans book which states she is 4`10". This is probably as a result of having a childhood disability which forced her to wear leg calipers.

She has always been described as 4ft 11 in newspaper articals dating back to the 80's.

I've seen her in Pershore where I go to college, she lives next to the bank there. 5ft is about right for sure. I always thought she was taller. She did have on heels when I saw her though.

How much of a footwarew advantage do you think she had Rob? Looks closer to 5'1 in the pic.

Editor Rob not more than 1.5 inches, although her quote about one leg being shorter, I never noticed longer heel or anything. I was standing looser than I normally do, with my neck a little down.

Editor Rob Yeah she's lovely, quite chatty. I was joking with her about how cold she looked in one of her videos and about the song where she was getting wheeled along by a horse - though she insisted it was a pony.
