How tall was Dean Martin

American singer and actor, best remembered for songs like "Memories Are Made of This", "Everybody Loves Somebody" and "You're Nobody till Somebody Loves You", and for roles in films like Ocean's 11, Rio Bravo, Artists and Models, Airport, The Young Lions, Bandolero!, You're Never Too Young, Toys in the Attic, and Who Was That Lady?. In the Guardian newspaper it mentioned his penchant for lifts: "Ever the control freak, Jerry had another important bit of input to the team's image, one that cemented the world's impressions of both men. Each stood about 6ft 1in, but Jerry added lifts to Dean's shoes and had the soles and heels of his own shaved so that Dean appeared taller; on top of that, Jerry always worked in a crouch, so that the Monkey, as he referred to himself, never seemed equal to Dean's Handsome Man". If he wore elevators (and it appears he might) he really could have been a 5ft 10 guy. He did attempt to claim "I'm 6ft 1" at one stage. In the film Kiss Me, Stupid (1964) his character was mentioned as weighing 173 pounds. Dean Martin - publicity
