Watching Royal Wedding now and I'd guess him at 5'9" and pounds. Unless Astaire wore special shoes to make him look shorter he was slightly under listed height. But still a lot taller than I'd thought. I'd guess 5'7. He always seemed taller because of his skinny physique. Tallest 5'9" man on the earth?! I think i'm 5'10" or 5'11". I just finished watching him in 'Carefree', and when Ginger is in low heels " , she's about 2" taller than he is. If he's over 5'6", I'll eat my hat.
I'm 5'5". You know what it means to me that my idol is my size? Great dancers, like Olympic gymnasts, tend to have a fairly low centre of gravity. We've all got our strengths. Remeber though, if Muggsy Bogues can make it into the NBA there may be a 7' tall guy gunning for the Olympic gold medal in gymnastics.
If so, he'd certainly get my support! I doubt that Astaire was really over 5'9". More like 5'7". He had an incredibly thin frame and great proportions with long legs that he wore even higher like Van Damme which created the illusion of 5'9".
You really think he was that tall ROB?? Even that seems a bit of a stretch Gene's shoes were built up esp. Fred was definitely taller than Gene.
Also when he and Cyd Charisse were strolling in Central Park in the beginning of the "Dancing in the Dark" number, he looked considerably taller than Charisse. Rob - ya gotta go with the evidence! Same as Frank Sinatra. Same as Gene Kelly. When Astaire got to be an old man I saw him and he was closer to 5'5". Fred Astaire was 5ft 9in tall. One loses height as one gets older. Bing was that short? I dance alot also. Fred aways seemed to me, to be what he's usually listed at,about 5 ft 9 when younger.
A few inches taller than Bing. Bing's shoes always looked built up. But ,not Fred's. Fred also looked taller than Gene Kelly,by about an inch or more. I haven't got around to seeing any old shaky legs films for a while, so he's on my 'to check' list, I've got a boxset of old astaire films sitting here, maybe I'll dig em out soon enough In the early eighties when I attended a special black tie concert given by Frank Sinatra at the Universal Amphitheater I saw Astaire once again and he had lost perhaps another inch and was no more than about 5'5".
