Height

Re-watching the X-Files series, and I keep noticing how Gillian was the smallest adult in any group scene among other adults. I see the IMDB height for her is listed as 5'3. Being someone is 5' myself, I'm pretty sure by observation that Gillian is not that tall, I'd estimate she is closer to 5'1, maybe 5'2. I know when one is this small, it makes things feel a bit better when you think you are tall as possible, I used to tell people I was 5'2, to feel better about it. If she does look taller, it's because of those high heels or Apple boxes she was standing on, but I highly doubt her height is as tall as 5'3. But fudging height when short, I can understand why.

I've stood next to her and she might be 5' 2", but she was short, even with her Scully heels on. In bare feet, I'd say you're pretty close with your estimate of being somewhere between 5' 1" & 5' 2". Even when she wears flip flops, she wears the kind with 2" thick soles.😉

According to a recent interview (Observer.com) she's supposedly 5'2.
