How tall was Angela Lansbury
British actress, best remembered for playing Jessica Fletcher in in TV series Murder She Wrote. In film she appeared in The Manchurian Candidate, Samson and Delilah, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Gaslight, State of the Union, Please Murder Me, Death on the Nile and The Mirror Crack'd. In 1985, a NY Times article called her surprisingly tall at "5 foot 8" and Lansbury herself wondered "why people think of me as a small woman". In People (Nov 07,1988) she commented on her stature, saying "I'm 5'8 1/2" and I weigh 147 lbs. at the moment. It's a good weight for me. I don't think I'll ever be skinny because my bones are too big"![How tall is Angela Lansbury]()

Good posture should become second nature, but you can really never take it for granted, particularly as you get older.
I'm five feet eight, and I was always one of the three tallest girls in my class. I played basketball, I was a high jumper, and a pretty good runner. My tall friends and I thought of our height as a plus for sports, until we started looking at the boys.
