According to ScreenRant, Geena Davis is one of the tallest actresses in Hollywood. The actress joins the likes of Elizabeth Debicki, Allison Janney, and Jane Lynch in the over 6 foot club, although on occasion the press have said she's actually 6 foot two inches, as Davis once told Ladies Home Journal (via Celeb Heights). "I'm growing. In a few years I'll be six-four!" she joked.

However, Davis wasn't always open to talking about her height. When she started modelling prior to her film debut in "Tootsie," per Britannica, she would lie about her height to get jobs. "When I started to model, I went to a couple of agencies and they said, 'No, you won't fit the clothes,'" she told Ladies' Home Journal (via Arizona Daily Sun). So, the actress started to list her height as 5 foot 10 inches instead, which "worked out better in interviews" according to Davis. "I kept that up for a long time," she continued, eventually saying to herself, "To hell with it. My career is working. I'll admit I'm 6 feet tall."
