If you look at photos or video of Dino standing next to the 6'1" Karl Malden in the movie Murderers' Row you can see that Dino is just a few inches shorter. At times I don't know why it is but he can look barely 5'9 on the odd occasion, like he forgot his lifts for the scene or something! See him with Dick Van Dyke he was barely shorter!
Watch Artists and Models there is a scene in which he's in flip flops and compared to Dorothy Malone he really looks nearer 5 ft 8! Barefoot in Ada I thought just under 5 ft 10 is the best shout.
Guess it's the shoes, though never 6'1". What was he thinking? Depends on how tall Dom Deluise was. I never believed the 5' I do know Burt Reynolds could look 3 inches taller than Deluise in his lifts.
Dean looks a bit taller here, perhaps an inch: Click Here But if you see their footwear as the clip goes on, it's clear looking at the back of Dean's shoes that he's got an advantage with either an extra heel or an inch lift inside. I don't think he'd lost height because the difference doesn't look any bigger in this clip: Click Here You see Dean's shoes at the very end when he falls to the ground.
I'm not sure, but the back can look funny again. If Dean did have lifts in both clips then it's entirely possible he was the same height as Deluise. I'd like to see more good shots of his shoes. He would have been about 63 when Cannonball Run was filmed and I thought he seemed about 3 inches shorter than Burt Reynolds, but I don't remember Dean's footwear. Then again, Burt managed to look taller than Roger Moore in that film! At you can see their real heights, I think he was closer to myself Click Here 5' His height was stated ft.
His weight was I watched an Interview with Jerry Lewis a recent interview where he was asked how he made himself appear shorter than Dean Martin in a comedy Skit here Jerry plays a little boy. Jerry said because he and Dean were both 6 ft tall dean had to wear extra inches in his shoes the appear taller.
Jerry Lewis said with the shoe lifts dean was probably 6 ft 2 inches. This is coming from Jerry Lewis's own words. But then i saw a skit ith Dean Martin and George Kennedy and George towered over him by a good 5 inches and then i saw a photo of George Kennedy and Rob together and George appeared to be the same height as Rob. Who knows with some actors these days. With lifts he was the same height. So for Dean and for Jerry.
Today at 90, Jerry is a lot shorter than Robert DeNiro. A number of back injuries caused by pratfalls really destroyed his spine. And that he came up with the idea to add a ''quarter of and inch to Dean's heels'' to make him appear taller.
Jerry is full of it. Dean wore lefts in films without Jerry. And not just boosting him by a quarter of an inch either. That's not enough of a difference to be noticeable. Both men were no more than Borgnine claimed to be I think he was closer to Watch the video clips and you'll see what I mean.
There are several on the web. It would have been interesting if a site like this was somehow around in the 50's and 60's era. I see the average vote reckons 5'9. It is possible, I wouldn't go under it though seeing him with Balsam. Tall enough to still manage to pass for nearly 6 ft in "footwear".
Balsam was 5'6 range I think, as you've listed him at so add roughly an inch shoes, 5'7. I can see a cm argument for him too. Yup, but he was wearing lifts LOL. There is a scene later on where they're all doing twister like movements on a bed and you can see his shoes and he was weairng lifts".
I've always thought Dorothy looked more 5 ft 7 and should be upgraded, but you can sort of see Martin's real height there and he looks a lot shorter than we think and more like 5 ft 8 haha. Is it possible he was wearing lifts all the time and deceived us into thinking he was 5'10 range? He had to have worn big lifts to pull off 6 ft if he was only 5 ft 8! I did think in Rio Bravo Dean could look just 5 ft 8 or 9 in some scenes with the Duke.
Click Here 5 ft 6 listed Dorothy Malone is barefoot, Martin is wearing a decent flip flop yet only appears about 1. If she was really only 5 ft 6 knock off an inch for his flip flops and that would make him not even 5 ft 7 LOL. Check it out. He looks nowhere near 5'10 let alone 5' There must be some interesting ones worth mentioning.
Dick even makes a joke at 16 that Dean has grown and him shrunk, must be an in joke or something. He was a sly old fellow. The Duke looked 7 or 8 inches taller than Maritn in that film and made him look 5 ft 8 range!
Easily 6 inches height difference. Red Skelton who was Click Here Jerry Lewis claiming to be six feet is laughable. Proportionately he couldn't have been more than 5. Martin wore huge lifts boosting him by an extra inch and a half over normal shoes.
I'm sure there's some shocking ones from the Rat Pack members, I wouldn't have been surprised if a guy like Martin claimed 6'2 at one point! Unknown to Dad, Jerry had special lifts fitted to Dad's shoes to make him appear even taller. Maritn looked about 6 ft in lifts, I think he was around 5 ft 10, could look nearer Rob's height at times with John Wayne though!
Utter make believe. Both men were never more than Dean might have been slightly shorter because with lifts he still looked no taller than Lewis. And Dean continued to wear lifts long after he and Lewis parted ways. So much we hear and read turns out to be exaggeration. In some cases pure bunk. Looks like Dean forgot his lifts. Next to 5'10" Johnny Carson he appears to be an inch shorter.
In 5 Card Stud he only looked about 3 inches shorter than Yaphet Kotto!! If you compare him to John Wayne in both there's massive lifts at play in Sons of! He could certainly pull off 6 ft in his standards. Was he really 5'10"? Watch Artists and Models and pause in the places I said. There's a scene in it in which he's briefly in flip flops and Mallone barefoot I think and he doesn't look much taller! I think he was more likely in range and wore lifts to pass for 6 ft.
I reckon Jerry Lewis might have edged him but Deano usually wore lifts and passed for looking taller. And compare him to the Duke in Rio Bravo and it's difficult to call him very broad shouldered! He frequently wore lifts, I've spotted those brown customs in a number of his films. He had very broad shoulders and a big chest.
As far as height, 5'10" sounds about right. But no more than 5'10". He did wear lifts to boost him to 6'. I think he was shorter by a half an inch to an inch than Jerry Lewis. Later on because of severe spinal injury caused by a combination of two many pratfalls compounded by a bad fall off a stage in Vegas, Jerry lost at least two inches.
From then on he usually wore boots with big heels. When Frank Sinatra got Dean and Jerry back together on Jerry's telethon, Dean wore regular shoes while Jerry wore his usual boots with what looked like at least two and a half inch heels making him the same height as Dean.
Dino tries to guess Kim Novak's weight and he says guess mine and she says and a half pounds and he says "you guessed right on the nose" or something. His fan site gives pounds. I think pounds might be the precise one, that was in You could add something like "in Kiss Me, Stupid his character was mentioned as being pounds". Sinatra's looked normal too. It's hard to believe Dino had a full 3 inches on Sinatra.
Seems more like It's hard to believe Dino had 3 inches on Sinatra. Maybe 2. I'd guess a mixture of height loss and Reynolds in lifts!!
He looked awful by then. Yeah, I have a lot of admiration for them and, in addition to being gifted singers, both Martin and Sinatra were solid actors. He was looking pretty good but didn't he know it! He was stood next to some guys a head taller than him but he still stood out as "the man".
One of the stand up comedians made a joke about Sinatra's ridiculously skinny weight when he was younger and being able to walk between harp strings or something!! I saw him not too long ago driving an Audi convertible with orange sunglasses on, still like it, a classic poser, but bald now like his dad.
Like Sinatra he's not tall or particularly good looking but he has that super ego and presence which most people, especially women, are allured to. They must have had a whale of time though performing on stage in Vegas and partying all through the night and pulling any woman they wanted though.
There are many reasons why we should hate them but you can't help but admire the status that they achieved in life and their level of confidence. I like that Dino was never afraid to put Frank in his place, because Sinatra could become a bit of a ego-monster at times and the other Rat Packers were too afraid to not fall in line.
Martin wasn't "pretty" but he definitely had the classic dark and suave thing going on with his expensive suits and dark hair and skin. I wouldn't have minded being him but it that way!! Really thick and suspicious looking. I've only spotted a couple of films where Sinatra looked as if he was wearing lifts.
Martin and Crosby literally every film I've seen they're clearly wearing them. So he's somehow managing to look almost 6 ft at times. His height is all over the place. I've seen him look anything from 5'8" range - almost 6'1!! Also a comma needed after Bandolero! Brennan looked minimum 6 ft peak to me. Is that just me Rob? You can't see but the way they spring up it looks as if it was still her barefoot and him in flip flops!
Click Here Click the usual brown link underneath. Watch from 1hr and compare them at around 1 hr onwards. Malone was listed at 5 ft 6! Even if she was 5 ft 7 which I think she looked nearer he isn't much taller and he has a little advantage in flip flops! He really looks nowhere near 5' Earlier in the film he was pulling off looking 6 ft in his shoes and now suddenly looks way shorter. Not only a fair heel on his dresses shoes but when he's dancing you can see the high back on the shoes and his foot almost popping out of them.
Given the already quite big heel and the left I reckon he' was getting minimum 2 inches from them and explains why he looks 6 ft range in the film next to a heeled Shirley MacClaine! He was three inches shorter than Gary Cooper in The Westerner. Martin is really difficult to guess because his height seems to fluctuate. Dean Martin was 5'9". He was almost as tall as six-two Red Skelton on Skelton's program. Martin was 5'9".
