Guest Performer. James Stewart. Billy Jim Hawkins. Show all 8 episodes. James K. In Philadelphia Story if he was solid 6'3" then Cary Grant was 6'2". Iam right or wrong,Rob? I've linked one such pic:- Click Here.
Personally I'd give Cooper a touch more than that but even so, with head slightly bowed, anyone afford Stewart at least a 2" advantage over "Enry? The average guess here surprises me because imo, no way was Stewart less than 6'3". I cant see the average of guess for this guy. As a kid I never really thought of his height - just perceived a fairly tall extremely thin guy whose great acting was the focal point.
Only later came to realise that he was a bit more than just fairly tall and always felt that he edged Coop. If pressed I might give Stewart the slightest edge over McMahon but can settle for close enough to even.
Both guys had nice straight posture well into their later years. One of the most absurd guesses in this site. With Gary Cooper, I don't see how people can say Stewart is the slightly shorter one, Jimmy either appears dead even with Cooper or even edges him slightly.
Maybe close to it early morning at peak? Wayne must have weighed about ninety pounds more than Stewart. Now I don't mind a middle-aged male movie character winning the heart and hand of a much younger woman, but I draw the line at accepting a human breadstick like Jimmy knocking down a tree trunk like Wayne. His real height was about 6'2". That poem about Bo the dog had me in tears. Looked at least 2 inches taller than 6' Terry Wogan at His last public appearance was for a ceremony honouring his career in February , when his terminal cancer was still not publicly known.
He looked every bit of a strong 6'3 guy at his peak. Boots or not boots. In his late 50s and 60s he looked more in the strong 6'2-weak 6'3 range. He was mainly known for westerns and he wore boots with big heels. About 6'3. Stewart was about 6'3 or 6'3. Not less than 6'3. I'm lucky if I watch one film a week at the moment, but be the summer, but don't feel that interested at the moment!
He also gave his height as 6'3" in other interviews. Wayne's character in "The Quiet Man" claimed to be 6'4. In real life Wayne said he was less than 6'4". Was Jimmy Stewart lying? I'm pretty sure John Wayne also claimed to be this tall in another film.
I think he seems taller in screen because he had a long legs and he was thin but he wasn't or cm in my opinion. Excellent actor and nice blue eyes. James, do you have a source? I haven't seen a credible source claims any less than 6'3" for him.
Now Ben Pollack plays himself int he movie. Ben Pollack stood no less than 3. Ben Pollack was the shortest Of all his Band Members. I have him pegged at 5. All the photo's i came across shows his Band members almost a head taller than him and here i see Jimmy Stewart only 3. It doesn't add up.
Anyhow this supports my 5'10 claim for Jimmy Stewart. Ben's head was higher than Jimmy's eyebrows. Another thing in the Movie Harvey Jimmy has a 6' imaginary Rabbit he walks around with. He later tells a Doctor that the Rabbit is more like 6'3.
All through the movie you see Jimmy Stewart looking way up at the Rabbit's eyes when hes talking to him. If the Rabbit was 6'3 then the Rabbits eye level would be 5'10 but you clearly see Jimmy looking way up at this Rabbit. Jimmy was most likely 5' Now we all know in Europe the average door height is 6'6 and USA and Canada the average door height is 6'8. Jimmy Stewart no joke was a good head and 2 inches shorter than the door in a scene where he buys a Trombone from a German Store Owner.
The door height in all Retail Stores and Shops are under 6'9. He did not look 6'3 in that movie. Jimmy's head was well under the top hinge and his head was 11 inches shorter than the door.
A whole head size plus 2 inches. I measured his head with a piece of Paper and lined it up with his face then i penciled in a little dot where the top of his head was at and a dot where the bottom of his head was at.
Then i placed the bottom dot over top of his head and it gave m an idea how tall he was. Now many people do not realize just how tall 6'3 really is. For example i am 5' I have been mistaken as a 6'1 person why i will never know. I wake up measure myself back to the wall and i get the same measurements my Doctor gives me 5' Peoples perceptions can be way off. Statistics Canada say the average male is 5'9.
Now in the afternoon i measured myself at 5'9. Then one Afternoon is asked Windows 10 Cortana the average Canadian male height and she said 5'7. So with all said i am going to go out here and say Jimmy Stewart was 5' In Shoes he was probably 5'11 and a quarter. I have too many favorites of his to list, with Vertigo and It's a Wonderful Life being at the top of the list. I've seen most of his filmography, many of them more than once. I've always pegged him at a little over 6'3". I'd be surprised if he came in at just 6'3" given all the 6'3" actors I've seen him have a hair or two over.
Think John Wayne in Rio Bravo, for example. He was nearly double Angie Dickenson's age in that one, but nobody really minds much, because he's John Wayne, and we are supposed to close the gap between what he was and what he has become in order to follow the movie. Most male move stars over forty habitually play somebody who is roughly And six feet tall, if they are shorter than that. All Paul Newman's characters were six feet tall. Sometimes I wonder what the typical leading man movie character's I.
Right around , usually. This is probably pretty close to the real I. Clearly smarter than average, but not intellectual. John Wayne did not play stupid men, but he did not play men who read a lot of books either. They rank along with Stewart's best performances along with Mr.
Allison, Gable Mogambo , etc. It also had to do with the fact that stars of the 30s and 40s were in his late forties or fifties while the others were in his thirties. The fifties was the beef cake era! Randolph Scott was in bathing suit in My favourite wife; he looked in great shape. Stewart was skinny.
Not the best guy to do a beff cake scene. He was in incredible shape. Hard as nails. Bronson was more of a professional fighter type, whereas Charlton Heston a physique of somebody who spends a lot of time with outdoor pursuits, similar to Laird Hamilton, I'd guess very similar height and weight. Hston looked strong as hell in the 60s, particularly Planet of the Apes. It was after seeing him that that I could well believe he was just pounds range in younger years, rake thin, unhealthily thin, and by Rear Window he was probably in pounds range.
And he's sung in a few movies too. He shouldn't oughta have done that either, as those were also cases of undeserved self-regard. I have seen Rear Window, and that shirtless scene is arguably part of the plot. It is brief, and Stewart lies on his stomach all through it, and doesn't actually display his torso.
It isn't in the movie to thrill anybody. And of course his character gets Grace Kelly, which makes my point for me, which is that it used to be that you could be a male lead without looking like that guy on the cover of Men's Health.
I've not spent as much time contemplating these stars physiques But he did the muscle display routine only in his action movies, and managed to keep his shirt on in his forays into serious drama.
Charles Bronson is also a major contender in the shirtless movie guy competition and he really did look terrific without a shirt on, so you can forgive him. Also, he did it less than half his roles. Eastwood has always kind of annoyed me when he did his shirtless routine because, unlike Bronson and Heston, who really were physically extraordinary, he was just an average guy who lifted weights.
His hips are as wide as his shoulders, and he has bad posture. So who was he kidding? Of course Jimmy Stewart remember him? Stewart was, not a weakling exactly, but certainly less than average in terms of male strength and stamina.
And yet he was a successful romantic lead, and sometimes a successful man of action in a few westerns, like Broken Arrow and Bend of the River. Clint Eastwood didn't take up bodybuilding at 40, he'd lifted weights in his teens and 20s too, there's a few pictures of him.
Eastwood did bulk up in the 80s though and must have changed his diet and lifted heavier as in his late 50s he was in pounds range. The larger point is that, for most male leads at that time, taking off shirts in movies to display beautiful torsos was uncommon, and probably regarded as vulgar display.
If Sinatra worked out, it wasn't out of physical vanity but professional utility, which is a different thing entirely. Which old-time stars did show off their bodies? Not too many. Charlton Heston couldn't resist, but at the same time vigorously denied that he would ever do anything so crass as indulge in bodybuilding. Paul Newman has a few look-at-how-beautiful-I-am scenes, but in only a handful of his movies. Robert Redford the same. Sean Connery appears shirtless in all his Bond movies, but at the same time you don't get the impression that he had been dieting, or working with a trainer.
In Diamonds Are Forever, he is downright paunchy. Clint Eastwood avoided appearing shirtless until he was forty. He took up bodybuilding and then you couldn't keep a shirt on him until he was sixty. Sylvestre Stallone is perhaps the worst offender in the gratuitous shirtless sweepstakes, aside from Arnold Schwarzenegger, for whom muscles are most of his talent.
Sinatra did work out, mainly to improve his lung capacity. Nobody in his generation of movie leads did. I'm not sure if John Wayne ever made a movie where he took his shirt off. Or Cary Grant or Randolph Scott either.
Errol Flynn has made only one movie where he appeared shirtless Gentleman Jim and in that one he played a boxer. Rock Hudson has two, and in one he played a boxer and in the other a Native American.
Other leading men like Charlton Heston, who usually had a shirtless scene in any movie he made because he was so proud of his physique, did not work out. Do you think Robert Mitchum ever lifted a barbell or ran a mile? It doesn't seem likely. How about Peter O'Toole? Richard Burton? Lee Marvin? Frank Sinatra? Steve McQueen? Sean Connery?
Marlon Brando? Double forget it after he became a big star, even though much of his initial appeal was based on his physique. Hard to tell who was taller because it could vary.
Cooper could edge Stewart and then vice versa. They were both skinny guys He was measured at just under 6'3" when he went to Hollywood.
