He is scarcely taller than a gnome. "I'm going to tell the fans," I said, "that you've blue eyes and white hair, but they will be sure to want to know your height." "I'm not nearly as tall as I look," was the answer. "The tallest man in Hollywood is Ivan Linow, that fiercelooking villain who played in 'The Red Dance.' He's six feet eight inches. And the tallest woman is Gertrude Astor, five feet seven and a half."
