Photo by MGM, via Wikimedia Commons Paul was a little bit more difficult to work with, though, because I was taller than him. In all our scenes standing together, I had to be barefoot.- Melanie Griffith in 1975 [After The Post ridiculed Newman being described as 5 foot 11 and offering to pay $1,000 to Paul's favorite charity for every inch over 5ft 8]
If all of these people who are their informants say that I am 5 foot 8, that's fine. And if they are right, then I will write a check to The New York Post for half a million dollars.
If they are wrong, now we start playing some hardball. It's not 100, it's not 1,000 dollars an inch, it's 100,000 an inch, or $25,000 a quarter inch, anything above 5 foot 8.
