Watching on the screen the game of elegant actresses, it seems that all these girls are of average height or even a little lower. However, in the world there are quite a lot of famous actresses whose growth exceeds model parameters. And all the more surprising is that on the screen, tall actresses look fragile and unattainably sexy.
High Tarantino Muse
The list of the highest actresses in Hollywood, no doubt, is headed by Uma Thurman. The height of this girl is 184 cm, which did not stop her from starring in more than fifty film projects and becoming the personal muse of the cult director Quentin Tarantino. Films in which Uma played the main role, Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill, made her world famous.
Surprisingly, in childhood, an unusually tall and thin girl was teased by her peers, Uma was determined to be a model and actress. At the age of 15, she stopped attending school and went to New York to study acting. Non-standard appearance and unusual hard work helped her become one of the most famous women on the planet.
Tall and famous
Tall even for the model, 183 cm, did not prevent the young Brooke Shields from playing many major roles in sensational films. In her first commercials, Brooke acted as a baby, and she got a role in the first film in less than 13 years.
Brook's world-famous shooting in the cult film of the 80s "Blue Lagoon". This romantic love story of two teenagers left on a desert island made Brooke the idol of the hippie generation.
The film team for a long time hid an interesting nuance that took place on these shootings. The Brook partner, the charismatic Christopher Atkins, was almost 10 cm below her. To hide this fact from the audience, when shooting joint scenes, Brooke had to stand in specially dug holes in the sand.

A pretty striking example of a high actress can be considered Sigourney Weaver, who played one of the key roles in the fantastic action movie "Alien", and then in its continuation. Her image of a woman astronaut, courageously saving the world from scary aliens, made the actress famous.
An interesting fact is that Sigourney is noted in the Guinness Book of Records as the highest Hollywood actress, who played the main role. Her height was officially recorded there - rather big 182 cm.
Reach for the star
The highest actress in the whole world is confidently recognized by the British Gwendolyn Christie, whose growth is 191 cm. However, it was these parameters that helped the talented girl achieve recognition and participate in the filming of cult world series.
Moreover, in childhood, Gwendoline did not want to act in films, but rather professionally engaged in gymnastics. Only when a serious injury put an end to her sports career, did the girl decide to try herself as a model and actress. And she did it.
After receiving an acting education, Gwendolyn played supporting roles several times until she decided to go on a casting for the role of warrior Brienne Tart in the second season of the cult series Game of Thrones. And this role brought her world fame and a huge number of fans around the world.

Quite a rather big growth, 177 cm, has a unique tall Russian actress Lyudmila Chursina. The list of her theatrical roles played on the leading stages of the country is simply huge. All her images are deep and complex, her participation in the performance always guaranteed a full house.
Lyudmila Chursina played her first small role in the movie in the film "When the Trees were Big" in 1961. And the first big role came to her in the film "Don Tale", where Lyudmila played a strong girl Daria. It was after this role that the popular popularity came to Lyudmila Chursina.
She became one of the youngest actresses to receive the title of People's Artist of the USSR. In addition, after the release of the movie "Crane" she was offered a contract in Hollywood and participation in 15 films. Naturally, the contract was not signed.
Another high Russian actress, and not only in terms of growth, is the favorite of the audience Tatyana Vasilyeva. Her height is 176 cm, which never prevented her from starring in many popular films and TV shows.
Tatyana Vasilyeva brought fame to work in the film "Hello, I am your aunt!", Which appeared on the screen in the distant 1975. Since then, the popularity of the actress has not fallen; for her roles, the actress received the title of People's Artist of the Russian Federation.
Beautiful and tall

This happened in 2002, when the film "House of Fools" was released, directed by the current husband of Julia, Andrei Konchalovsky.
Since then, she has had many successful roles, and since 2003, Julia Vysotskaya has been the host of the popular culinary show "Eat at Home", in which she talks about cooking incredibly tasty dishes.
Not just actresses
It would probably not be entirely fair to not mention tall girls working as TV presenters or participating in the country's favorite shows.
For example, the growth of Catherine Barnabas, a participant in the Comedy Woman show reaches 180 cm, which does not prevent her from shining on the screen. A bright girl with a good sense of humor loves high-heeled shoes and emphasizes the model parameters of her figure.
The growth of the famous TV presenter Tasha Strogoy (183 cm) caused her a lot of trouble at the beginning of her career. She complexed and envied girls with “normal” growth, until she realized that not growth, but talent and hard work help to achieve significant success.
