Heights of Famous Short People

While being taller is often more likely to lead to professional success, this isn't always the case. Many entrepreneurs, politicians, writers and other notable people past and present were on the shorter side. In some cases, well-known short people have actually used their height to their advantage. For example, Mario Andretti raced Indy Cars, where bigger, heavier drivers can actually slow a vehicle down. Many comedians have also used their shorter height for material and thus turned it into a positive.

However, a good number of modern celebrities use Elevator Shoes to add a few inches to their height. Most of the time they purchase them in an anonymous manner through a third party or their own stylist. Elevator Shoes are a perfect solution when they appear in public, especially with taller co-stars, counterparts or mates. This makes them look even more appealing and presentable, thus adding to the confidence they already have as a successful professional.

Here's a list with just some the famous short people throughout history who still managed to be successful in politics, entertainment, sports and other fields:
