Her main acting achievement was four seasons at the head of the sitcom Unpredictable Susan.
Allison Janney (183 cm)
When did Allison Janney start acting career, her agent told her that, given her height, she could only play “lesbians and aliens.” I wonder if he lived to see how many awards Jenny received for a variety of roles in TV, film and theater?

Always on top, or Why you shouldn’t worry about “extra” centimeters We recently told you how our inch-sized stars live. But what about those whose height is 180 and above? Read and be surprised!
Dreams of ballet (180 cm)
The biggest frustration about my height is Ravshana Kurkova(nee Matchanova) due to the fact that she could not become a ballerina.- I dreamed of pointe shoes and tutus. But in the three studios where I went with my mother to watch, I heard only one thing: “With your height, girl, nothing will work out in ballet,” Ravshana sighs. “Big! Stick!" - the now famous 36-year-old actress constantly heard such insults addressed to her during her school years. And even now, haters write caustic comments to the star under posts on social networks. The actress now, of course, does not react to rudeness.
I accept myself as I am. When, as a child, I had complexes about my appearance and was worried, especially because boys were embarrassed to be friends with me, my grandmother uttered the golden words: “It doesn’t matter how long your legs are. There are three things a woman has that men pay attention to: hair, teeth, skin,” says Kurkova.
Creature from another planet (180 cm)
Olesya Zheleznyak has only bonuses from its height. For example, she got into the cinema thanks to long legs and somewhat awkward appearance.- This is exactly the kind of funny bigot Tigran Keosayan needed for main role in "Silver Lily of the Valley". “He saw me in the corridor of Mosfilm and immediately stopped looking for the heroine,” said the 42-year-old actress. - And my husband (Olesya has been married to actor Spartak Sumchenko for 18 years and is raising four children; Spartak’s height is 185 cm - K.B.) first of all paid attention to my height. “You seemed to me like a creature from another planet, an alien - it was impossible to take your eyes off,” he later admitted to me.
Actress with her husband and children - Agafya, Prokhor and Savely
Even at school she did not suffer from her great height. Vice versa. Olesya was seated at the last desk so that her head would not disturb anyone.
- Write off and mind your own business - that’s where it’s at!
Beauty is not in long eyelashes (180 cm)
“As a teenager, everything irritated me: from my nose and eyebrows to my knees,” recalls the 50-year-old Maria Shukshina. “And when I began to stand first in the line at physical education, it seemed that life had not worked out at all. But with age I began to understand that size does not matter. Neither short nor tall height will make you happier. But the beauty of a woman is not long eyelashes, thin waist and large breasts, but in the mind. If everything is in order with your head, then even the most ugly one (by some completely stupid standards invented by I don’t know who) will be able to present herself in such a way that not a single man will pass by without looking back.
The TV presenter is convinced that the main thing is to find YOUR man:
- And it doesn’t matter what difference in height you have. If you look in one direction, then all these little things will not matter.
Say no to the black one!
Strict - 182 cm. Stefanenko - 185 cm“It’s pointless to dream of becoming a miniature brunette: it will never happen anyway” - TV presenter Tasha Strogaya (according to her passport - Natalya Frolova) lives with this motto. There were periods when she was complex and envious of girls with standard height: they say, boys want to take care of such people, and if you are far from a baby, then they treat you as “their boyfriend.”
“After a while, I realized that such an attitude is much more valuable than short-term affection,” says 43-year-old Tasha. - There were problems with clothes before. Now they sew taking into account maximum height. Yes, I am a designer myself. When I became a mother (at the age of 37, Strokaya gave birth to twin boys. - K.B.) and suddenly at some point looked back, it became funny from worrying about my appearance. I want to appeal to all the girls who are embarrassed because of the “extra” centimeters. These are such little things! Natasha Stefanenko (Tasha’s co-host on the program “Take it off immediately!” - K.B.), who is three centimeters taller than me, walks freely and in heels. He says: “It’s the men who have to worry about how to reach me!” Be confident. Never slouch or hide behind caps with large visors. Say no! black and shapeless. And women's happiness will definitely overtake you!
