Height is definitely not the most important thing when it comes to playing a role. For example, Danny DeVito, who stands at only 155 cm (5 ft 1 in), has repeatedly said that judging people based on appearance is foolish and that height doesn’t determine success. For women, being petite has never been a disadvantage either. You’d never even guess that any of the most popular, award-winning, and universally beloved stars in Hollywood are on the shorter side.
Here are the top ten shortest and probably cutest actresses in Hollywood.
1. Scarlett Johansson—160 cm (5 ft 3 in)
Scarlett Johansson became famous way back in the day when Natasha Romanoff wasn’t even on the menu. For this Avenger, being a 160 cm tall powerless spy (5 ft 3 in) has never been a hindrance. Today, Scarlett Johansson is one of Hollywood’s top stars, and of course, nobody cares even a little bit about her height.
