I'd say she doesn't seem to look particularly short in photos I've seen. Then, too, a 5'5" or 5'6" mother is far more likely to have 6'1" son than is a 5'1" mother.
And on another like document she lists her height as 5 even.
Hmmm.
What does that tell you?
It tells me someone else was using her ID for a bit.
There is almost nothing in the myth that is true.
