Re: Alan Ladd

>>Ladd was famous for being extra short<<

Which is why sub - 5 foot Veronica Lake was cast as his leading lady a couple of times.

I remember reading somewhere that humans have been getting taller through the ages thanks to better nutrition and medicine. The Egyptian mummies I've seen are sometimes startlingly small, well under 5'. The typical adult male of Jesus' time was about 5 feet tall. The Vikings who were seen as giants by their Europeans contemporaries were around 6 feet tall. One wonders what they would made of one of today's 6 1/2 feet tall, 350 pound NFL linemen.
