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.
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.
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.
Lizzo - 5'10" (177 cm)
Pop sensation, musician, flutist, and overall diva, Lizzo is 5'10'' tall. It's just one of the million things she loves about her body, and we are here for it!
We have a feeling that her stage presence would be hard to ignore even if she was only 5' tall, but we'll take however many inches we can get.
Zendaya - 5'10" (178 cm)
"Euphoria" star Zendaya stands tall compared to her costars at 5'10". Since her days on Disney's "Shake It Up" alongside Bella Thorne, Zendaya has gone on to star in some of Hollywood's biggest hits. Zendaya has even won two Primetime Emmy awards for her performance on "Euphoria," making her the youngest recipient of the award in her category.
She's also gained notoriety from her on-screen-turned-off-screen romance with Tom Holland. Because of the height differences between him and his girlfriend, some stunts in the Spiderman movies had to use a little bit of movie magic to make it look like he was taller than him. It seems everything is looking up for this tall drink of water!
