How tall was Carrie Fisher

American actress, best remembered for her iconic role as Princess Leia in the Star Wars films. In an interview with Madonna in 1991 she said "At my height, I'd like to boss a group of men around. I'm five one and a half, and it's incredibly important to me. Except that I stoop, which is attractive. I have one of those dowager's bumps; it's from reading when I was a kid". Earlier than that she also said: "I'm 5'1" and my legs end almost right after they start. People think I'm taller. I meet people and they say, 'You're soooo short' as if I didn't know this fact". In this photo, Carrie had about 0.5 inch more footwear than me.5ft 8 Rob and Carrie (1956 - 2016) @ LFCC 2014

I'm 5 feet, 1 ½ inches. Three inches less and I'd be a certified midget. I've worked with 100 midgets in two pictures: 'Under the Rainbow' and 'Return of the Jedi.' I feel like Snow White among the Dwarfs, but without the elevator shoes. Everywhere I go, I run into Munchkins and Ewoks. They love me, because they can look me straight in the eye. If only my mother had married a basketball player.

Oh, [Carrie] says she's 5-foot-1, but she's not.

My personality is normally large, but I make life look pretty small - because I'm only 5-foot 1.
