American actress and Princess best known for roles in films such as Rear Window, Dial M For Murder, Mogambo, The Country Girl, The Swan, The Bridges at Toko-Ri, High Society, To Catch a Thief and High Noon. You read for the ingénue roles in 40 plays and you don't get one. You're too tall. I'm five-feet-six-and-a-half. Gilbert Miller measures you by the furniture in this office. I was trying for 'Gigi' and 'Ring around the Moon.' He said I was five-feet-seven-and-a-half. I said, 'But I have my shoes on.'
-- July 1955
Everybody said I was too tall. I've read parts in my stocking feet in the offices of every play producer in New York. I couldn't get to first base because I was five feet six and a half.
