Short Girl Appreciation Day
Norma Desmond (Gloria Swanson) descending an ornate staircase. The size of the set gives you an approximate idea of her height. Even when several steps above him, Swanson's dwarfed by the photographer in the dark suit and glasses. DP: John F. Seitz.
The main character is a “short girl” [I do not agree with the infantilizing wording] on Short Girl Appreciation Day, USA.
“I am big. It's the pictures that got small.”
– Norma Desmond
Also starring, Buster Keaton, who was 5'5” / 1,65 m.
