  1. Staci,

    Here's another one: Imogen Heap. She's 6-0.

    I wasn't aware that she was that tall until I saw her on Letterman promoting the new CD. I've been a fan for a long time.

    Watch the end of the clip when Dave wanders over and stand next to Immi. He's 6-2.

  3. I was just reading that the authorities in the UK are looking into the death of former Rolling Stones' band member Brian Jones. And I recalled his leggy girlfriend, model, actress, and fashion designer Anita Pallenberg, who turns out to be 5'9" tall.
