American actress, best remembered for appearing in films such as Singing' in the Rain, The Singing Nun, How the West Was Won, The Unsinkable Molly Brown.. Her official website gives her as 5ft, although in 1962 a Time magazine article described her as '5ft 1.5 and 100lbs'. Debbie herself said in TheLatest.co.uk "I'm 5ft one"Photo by PR Photos I'm only 5-ft. 1-in. tall and in this film (How the West Was Won) I work with Charlton Heston and Gregory Peck, both of whom measure well over 6 ft. They could have put me on a box but the director said, he wanted to show my legs, so they dug holes in the ground, and whenever Chuck or Greg was supposed to embrace me, he stepped into the holes.
-- LA Times, 10th Sep 1961
