Paulette, was a beautiful woman and a talented actress.
Paulette, was 5ft2in tall barefoot.
When playing opposite Veronica Lake, she wore flats
and still was an inch and a half taller than Lake,
(who was wearing high heels).

Which makes her all the hotter in my book Sam :-)

She also was rumored to have engaged in a lewd act benefiting the short, homely director Ernst Lubitsch in public nonetheless, reportedly to get revenge on Chaplin for being a philander. She seemed pretty, uh...liberated sort.

Yeah, Goddard was incredibly pretty...at least until their marriage went south, Chaplin was one lucky little person.

Read my mind Gonzalo, it didn't look one bit like her!!!

I reckon Veronica Lake probably just over 4ft 10 and rounded up to 4ft 11. About 5ft 2.5 for Paulette.

Somebody even tweeted here "She looked like Martina Hingis" Click Here Striking resemblance in some photos, although Paulette is the hotter of the two.

Arch Stanton said on 19/Nov/14
If they ever do a biopic of her Martina Hingis might be ideal casting material :-)

Yeah they starred together in the Road films and a few others. I've seen three Road films I think but I was paying more attention on Crosby's lifts to focus much on Lamour's height! I'll watch Road to Singapore tomorrow if I can, the first one they did.

Sorry, I think Hedy is already on this site. I have problems checking some of the pages.

Arch Stanton said on 18/Nov/14
Personally I'd downgrade her to 5'2" flat based on the Chaplin photos but if she's that low Veronica Lake needs a downgrade to 4'10 range! Paulette looked tall next to her!

Sam said on 18/Nov/14
Sexy woman and talented comedianne, she definitely wasn't 5'4" though next to her husband for a time Charlie Chaplin as he had her by about at least an inch I think.

Thanks Rob! Gorgeous gal, one of the most beautiful faces in Hollywood and seemed tom boyish and fun too. Yup anything in 5'2.5-5'3" is OK. I did see her next to Veronica Lake in Star Spangled Banner the other day briefly and I did think she looked more 5'3" than 5'2" in comparison. If I remember rightly though there's a scene in Modern Times in which they're inside Chaplin's hut and barefoot there's about a 1,5 difference. Can you tweak to Reap the Wild Wind? Cheers.
