Heightism....As a height challenged man, I demand representation in movies and TVs shows.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Jim Hutton and Paula Prentiss used to appear in movies together (e.g. Where the Boys Are). They were both tall and well matched.

Cait Balfe in Outlander is about Gillan's height, IIRC, playing a character, Claire, about 6 inches shorter. Of course they cast a skinny shrimp to play Claire's six foot, size 16 daughter, so I guess that's equal time.

So ???

what is she griping about ???

Hollywood has done this for years...

Boxes or put the female down in a pit to walk along with the shorter male star while he walks up on the flat...

I think Sophia Loren had to do the pit/ditch thingy with one of her male co-stars...

Allan Ladd had to stand on step stools with some leading lady kissing scenes.

Boy, you’d think you’re Tom Cruise to make such demands.

[Hot Tabasco]

George Stephanopolous sits on a copy of the Yellow Pages....

[rwilson99]

So like... TV shows aren’t real and stuff?

[Jim Noble]

bosses have gone so far as to ban her from wearing high heels

Karen, someone with your qualifications would have no trouble finding a top-flight job in either the food service or housekeeping industries

Short, established male actors demand shorter costars. When the short costars become established, they demand even shorter costars. Eventually you wind up with deformed actors, directors, etc.

[Dr. Sivana]

Barbara Feldon had to wear flats, slouch, etc to appear shorter than Don Adams in “Get Smart!” They made her accommodate him.

[Yo-Yo]

She is definately worth standing on a box for...

[teeman8r]

In the business they stand on what are called apple boxes... 1/8. 1/4. 1/2. And a full apple called a man maker...

In Casablanca, Humphrey Bogart had to wear platform shoes to play alongside Ingrid Bergman and compensate for the height disparity.

[Phlap]

Because he was so short, they did something like this for Alan Ladd in several of his films.

[Robert DeLong]

No problem as long as you are willing to act on boxes. 8>)
