I know some of these facts might be wrong but who would have thought some female stars were so short.. or that Sophia Loren only had average boobs as they always looked big.. have a look and see who you thought was a different height or weight..

The heights haven't exactly been a secret.

I did have to laugh at Marilyn Monroe's weight range, but maybe that was supposed to reflect the many weight fluctuations throughout her life. She was 119 lbs. at autopsy.

I don't know. It says that Sophia Loren was packing 38s, which is about the highest number listed.

Not necessarily. It says she was a 38C. That's her bra size.

I don't know how bra sizes work. As a man I'll just say that I know'em when I see'em.

That was a real interesting link you provided! Lots of information beyond heights and weights. I knew Judy Garland was small. I met Mickey Rooney, and he was very short. If you watch him in movies with Judy, they are about the same height.

Joan Crawford always seemed like a statuesque woman, with those big shoulders.......but it was mainly padding put in her clothes by Adrian at MGM. She is one of the most fascinating of the stars of her era. She constantly changed her 'look.' A glance at photos of her from say 1925, 1935, 1945, and 1955, and you see a constantly evolving persona.

It's a shame those great stars are passing into history now. Many young people don't even know who they are. But stars like Crawford put modern stars to shame. If you wrote to her as a fan, you would get a hand written letter back. She kept in touch with many fans for decades, and even sent birthday cards to some.

She was slaughtered by her adopted daughter in the book 'Mommie Dearest' which damaged her reputation. But she was a star who tried to live up to that title. I find her much more watchable today, than say Bette Davis, who chews the scenery in many of her movies.

As a woman I have to say that any 'stats' of bra sizes you can take with a grain of salt. I have been a consistent weight (throughout my adult life) and my size completely varies depending on the bra.

Also, if a woman is petite, she sometimes has to really hunt for a bra that fits her properly (the straps of most average bras will be too long to support her bc petite women have shorter bones). So she may have to go down a size (or two) to get the shorter straps, and then go up a cup size (or two) so her breasts aren't squashed.

So numbers can be deceiving. (trust me on this) lolz

straps can be adjusted though . I think with Sophia, her boobs maybe looked bigger as her waist was so tiny..take a look at BB http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...size-zero.html

I've seen a photo of a very young Sophia nude from the waste up. It was before she became famous in the US and, although she was thinner, she definitely had the boobs.
