Shoulder-to-shoulder on the Red Carpet



The Academy Awards is just a few hours away.

Some of us will be watching the Oscars in our furry slippers, while others will dress to the nines for their own Oscars viewing party. All the same, we will be glued to the Red Carpet parade, ooh-ing and ahh-ing over the gowns and the tuxedos--and wishing we possessed even a smidge of the stature of these über-celebrities.

Actually, we probably do. Looking at Ben Schott's stats on the Oscars--which cuts Hollywood royalty down to more human proportions--many of us already stand as tall (if not as proud) as some of the world's best actors and actresses. Thanks to him, I can now gloat over the fact that I stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Halle Berry, Meryl Streep, Shirley MacLaine, Richard Dreyfuss, James Cagney and Dustin Hoffman.

Eep! Only Russell Crowe and Jack Nicholson's my height. Only 4 others are taller than me. And I always thought they were a tall bunch.
