I’ve only seen a few photos - I don’t have TV service. I used to read that ballerinas had to be petite so you have me curious about the 5’ 9” or perhaps a positive change in ballerina height.
You are right, but they are growing them taller these days.
Her height is why I was surprised when she said she had been a ballerina. Actually, somebody else said it when they were discussing eating disorders, and they turned to SE as the expert because of her experience in the ballet. She did not claim to have an eating disorder, but she knew people who did. She seems tall to me. I could be wrong.
It is hard to tell the heights of many TV talking heads. They hide it by keeping them seated most of the time. O’Reilly is tall — about 6’7”. Advertises a tall man’s shop. Steve Doocy is tall. Peter Johnson is tall. Gretchen is a half pint — way too short to have been a Miss America. She must have been really something on the violin! :)
Greta is petite. I didn’t realize it until recently when she was interviewing someone “in the field”. She’s as short as Gretchen.
