Actress Reese Witherspoon has played so many incredible roles, from Elle Woods in "Legally Blonde" to Madeline Mackenzie in "Big Little Lies" and countless others in between (via IMDb). Whether on-screen or walking the red carpet, Witherspoon is often photographed wearing an impressive pair of high heels, which make her appear taller than she actually is (via Harper's Bazaar). Her small frame is more noticeable when she's standing with her taller co-stars, like Nicole Kidman, or when she's wearing flats or sneakers.

According to NPR, Witherspoon is approximately five feet, three inches tall. The "Wild" star has spoken about her petite size during interviews and discussed how some Los Angeles film executives told her she wasn't tall enough for the roles she wanted. Speaking with the Daily Mail in 2011, Witherspoon said, "When I first came here (to LA), all I heard was, 'No, not right — not tall enough, not pretty enough, not smart enough'". She added, "But I didn't really care about their opinions. I'm stubborn".

We're glad Witherspoon's stubborn nature helped her forge ahead with her career! It's hard to imagine Hollywood without her.
