@npr: Hannah Waddingham talks about navigating film and television as a tall woman who stands 5 feet 11 inches. Her “Ted Lasso" character, Rebecca Welton, loves to wear heels — which makes Waddingham 6 feet 2 inches. Waddingham says Apple and the show's co-creator and writer Jason Sudeikis "never shied away" from her height. But Waddingham adds that her height wasn’t always celebrated in the industry. In fact, when she first started in her acting career, she said she would stand "slumped down" in order to appear shorter. #NPR
Hannah Waddingham has had the most insane glow up she looks ten times better at 50 whatever she is than as a young woman

as a 6’0 girl seeing her in heels every episode and on red carpets looking amazing and powerful genuinly has helped me try and accept my height and learn to love it after spending so long hating myself.

I’m 5’11 and have been since 14. I auditioned for a play freshman year and was told “we like you for our lead but leading ladies can’t be taller than their partner.” I was cast as the only other female speaking part - the old lady. I never auditioned for anything again.

tall lady here - can relate so innately to the need to ‘make yourself smaller’ - literally.
