Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi
Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi is one of the most memorable figures in reality television. However, it’s startling that with such a huge reputation she’s only 4'8". She is one of the shortest women in Hollywood. It makes her wild behavior and insane drinking on The Jersey Shore seem all the more disturbing because one bottle of alcohol is her whole body weight.
Lady Gaga
The mystery behind Lady Gaga’s iconic, freakishly tall heels finally revealed. The pop-icon powerhouse is only 5'1". Still, her stage presence feels about 10 feet tall. This meat-wearing musician hardly ever wears flats so it’s no surprise people may not have noticed.
Ellen Page
Page made major news by coming out, going from indie star to lesbian icon. At 5'1" she commands a lot of attention and is a major presence in her films.
Nicole Richie
Richie came into the public eye as Paris Hilton’s pint-sized friend on The Simple Life. However, she quickly established herself as a fashion icon. It can be a little scary that her very thin frame makes her look much taller than 5'1".
Jada Pinkett Smith
Pinkett has always been a spitfire in iconic roles in The Matrix Reloaded and Set It Off. It can be hard to imagine she’s 5' even especially when her husband Will Smith is 6'2". She’s already shorter than son Jaden and only time will tell if Willow will be taller than mom.
Reese Witherspoon
Witherspoon feels like the female Tom Cruise. Her memorable film roles rarely acknowledge how small she is. Bonus points for camera work, guys! But she is only 5'1". It’s strange her height was never even mentioned in Legally Blonde. Objection!
Kristen Bell
Bell is pretty well known as one of Hollywood’s smaller actresses at 5'1". It helps that her hubby Dax Shepard is 6'2". Her iconic role as Veronica Mars also celebrated her height allowing her to hide in small spaces and sneak around undetected. Given the success of Frozen she’s getting much bigger... in notoriety.
Paula Abdul
Abdul has been a pop star, reality star, and a has-been star. At 5' even this pop diva has always been the shortest American Idol judge. Was she on the show for so long to make Ryan Seacrest taller?
Ariana Grande
Grande is doing triple duty as star of her hit tween show Sam & Cat, major musician, and budding super celebrity. It can be hard to reconcile the huge buzz with her 5'1" stature. But her pipes and immense vocal range have made her one of the biggest stars of the moment.
Kylie Minogue
Minogue is one of the biggest pop stars in the world and she’s 5'. Is her height the secret to staying so youthful? It definitely has not hindered her success. She’s had a robust career for over 25 years.
Mary Kate Olsen, Ashley Olsen
People often don’t realize that Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are fraternal twins because they are so startlingly identical. But one sign is Mary Kate is 5' and Ashley is 5'1". They are the most powerful set of twins in Hollywood history. They have been ruling Hollywood since they were babies so it’s no surprise that power comes in small packages.
Chandra Wilson
Wilson is 5' and one of the most important parts of her series Grey’s Antomy. Her character Miranda Bailey may be shorter than her fellow actors but that doesn’t stop her from bossing them all around. Not only does Wilson have major presence on Grey’s she’s also a gifted musical theater actor.
Carrie Fisher
Fisher has one of the most iconic roles in film history as Princess Leia in the Star Wars franchise. It’s hard to believe that she’s only 5'1" compared to Han Solo (Harrison Ford) who is 6'1".
Lil' Kim
Lil’ Kim lives up to her name at 4’11". The rap star was always a major force in hip hop and brought performances that rivaled her taller and male counterparts including Notorious B.I.G. Here’s hoping she can make a come back and have less of a lil’ career.
AnnaSophia Robb
Robb is a child actress who is quickly growing up with her more adult role on the teen version of Sex and the City, The Carrie Diaries. However, she stands tall at 5'. As a younger version of Carrie Bradshaw maybe she’ll literally grow to match Sarah Jessica Parker who is 5'3".
Vanessa Hudgens
Everyone seems so much taller in television and movies. But Hudgens’ celebrity boyfriends also seem significantly taller next to this pint-sized actress. It’s hard to believe that she’s only 5'1" which calls into question the height of her famous exes Zac Efron (5'8") and Josh Hutcherson (5'7").
Kristen Chenoweth
Chenoweth has one of the most powerful and iconic voices in Hollywood and Broadway history. And yet, she’s one of the most petite actresses on the scene. She always brings a ton of energy and is such a huge part of scenes she’s in. It’s pretty shocking that she’s only 4'11".
Kourtney Kardashian
None of the Kardashians are particularly tall, except Khloe who seems freakishly tall at 5'10". Kourtney is the most tiny at 5' even. It must be why she is the easiest to forget. Her elfin frame allows her to pass around without much attention…or maybe it’s because Khloe and Kim are way more outspoken.
Hayden Panettiere
It’s pretty shocking that Panettiere is such a sex symbol and is so tiny. She’s always been on the smaller side especially as her role of indestructible cheerleader Claire on Heroes. But it can be hard to imagine that she’s only 5'.
