Re: Actress.
Weight comparison would be more useful.

Note that I had a PowerPoint slide with the actresses' height that I used to demonstrate a percentile distribution. When the company's legal department reviewed the presentation, they required me to remove the slide for copyright reasons. Some of the images (e.g. Audrey in that black dress), can only be used by-permission. Dang! That slide would have brightened up what are typically boring technical meetings to statistician and actuaries.

Did you notice Woody Strode as one of the actors? Not John Wayne. Not James Steward. Not Lee Marvin.

Of course, this is Woody from Sergeant Rutledge and not The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (both John Ford films). I just found that kind of interesting since in that 3-actors thread, Woody was not "qualified" to be one of the 3 actors from Liberty Valance.

No. With the hat on, I had no idea who it was.

In the actress video, the image used for Shirley Jones (at 6:02) is actually Shirley MacLaine.

Well I have SEEN Rita Hayworth's Gilda dress and MM's gold lamé pleated dress in person and it's very obvious Rita was far smaller if not a tad shorter than MM. It was also shocking to see how tiny Liz Taylor was from viewing one of her costumes, I'd concur she was just slightly taller than Veronica Lake.
Amazingly they didn't include Mae West in the comparison, who was also in the Taylor/Lake end of the spectrum.
