Author Comments:
Various sources.
Extremely pointless idea, I know...
Comments (surprises, doubts, suggestions) are nevertheless welcome.








By, far the biggest surprise for me was Satyajit Ray.
Yes, I think you are right there.
Most surprising for me was Michael Crichton with 6'11"!
Other surprises include:
Roberto Benigni
Bud Spencer
Alfred Hitchcock
Gérard Depardieu (I thought he was much taller, around 6'2" or 6'3".)
More to come as soon as possible...
