ALAN LADD
At 5ft 6ins / 168cm, Alan Ladd was far from being the shortest leading man in Hollywood. Rumours about his supposed lack of height still persist – he is sometimes described as being only 5ft / 152cms tall.
Whatever the exact height, the cast and crew members have recalled that when Alan Ladd starred opposite Sophia Loren in Boy on a Dolphin, he had to stand on a box for two shots in order to kiss her. For a scene where the couple walked along a beach, the crew dug a trench for Loren to walk in so that Ladd would appear taller.
