Kathryn Bigelow – 5’11” (182 cm)
Unlike most people on this list, Kathryn Bigelow is a behind-the-scenes kind of girl. Her celebrated Hollywood career includes directing and producing some memorable films such as “Near Dark” and “Point Break.”
Standing at 5’11” tall, Bigelow directed the film “Zero Dark Thirty.” It won her an Oscar and made her the first female director to snag the award.
Leslie Jones - 6' (183 cm)
Leslie Jones is no stranger to "SNL" fans. This talented diva is as tall as she is funny.
Jones has flexed her comedic chops outside of "Saturday Night Live" as well. One example of that is her memorable role as Patty Tolan in the "Ghostbusters" 2016 remake.
Missi Pyle - 5'11" (180 cm)
If you've been around a movie theater in the past three decades, you've seen Missi Pyle. Her 5'11'' frame has been on the screen in films such as "Big Fish," "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," and "The Artist."
When Pyle isn't busy acting, she has her hands in music. In fact, she has even released an album as part of the musical duo Smith & Pyle.
Lucy Lawless - 5'10" (177 cm)
Before the "Wonder Woman" frenzy and other representations of powerful, badass women, Xena the warrior princess was the real deal. She was strong, unapologetic, and knew how to take down the bad guys like no one's business.
She was also super tall, but that's just Lucy Lawless being her fabulous, 5'10'' self. This kiwi actress went on to star in other fun productions such as "Parks and Recreation" and "My Life Is Murder," but she will always be Xena in our hearts.
Lisa Leslie - 6'5" (195 cm)
We know, including a pro-basketball player in a list of tall women is not super original. But we're going to do it anyway. WNBA player Lisa Leslie is practically the league incarnate.
All 6'5'' of her are not only fabulous on the court but also had cameos in films like "Inconceivable" and "What Men Want." Her Olympic gold is just the icing on that tall, tall cake.
