What’s weird about this page is that its bread crumb links at the top indicate it’s part of a larger website category called “Celebrity Height Information.” In fact this whole site seems dedicated to the heights of superstars.
But why?
Well, this site claims (and for decades the story goes) that Cher is 5 foot 6 inches. But I ask you, all you fans who have met or seen Cher in person, do you believe it?
Because when I saw Cher at a book signing in 1999, she seemed tiny, at least noticeably smaller than me and I’m 5’6”. Cherwas also described as tiny in many 80s-magazine cover stories that I remember reading.
Every reporter was expecting the tall statuesque Amazon believed to be standing next to Sonny from their television show. But truthfully, she wasn’t much taller than Sonny and he too appeared to be tiny.
It’s a good project to notice how tall Sonny and Cher are (or are not) compared to other people – both on the TV show and in the movie Good Times.
I'm not saying Cher is tiny but look at that picture with Tom Cruise…she needs wig height to come even with that shorty-pants.
How tall is Cher? I don’t really feel like we know the real truth yet, kids.
I have been to many parties with Cher in the 70’s and then saw her again in Beverly Hills in the early 2000’s. She has long legs that make her appear taller. I’m 5.5 and a half, and she is at best an inch taller. My honest guess is no taller than 5.6.
Tom Cruise is known to wear 3″ + lifts. It’s the only way he can seem the same height as Cameron Diaz, in that movie they did together. Also, Farrah and Raquel were on the Cher show, they seemed to all have the same heel height on and are all reported to have been 5’6″
I used to work for Cher. I am 5, 9” and I was astonished at how short he really was in real life despite what had been reported or what she looked like on TV. She is a the most 5’ 2”. But could easily be 5 foot even. She was much smaller than I would’ve expected. Nothing wrong with that. Actually it’s quite charming that she was so cute and petite in real life and don’t really understand why it would be faked.
Thanks for weighing in on that. That was my experience too. She doesn’t have to be an amazon woman.
Good evidence. Thank you for this. What show were you at in 1976 when you met Cher backstage? A S&C show?
I met Cher in 1976 backstage. I am almost 5ft 5in. She was a little taller as she had heels on. I was watching a performance of her on her show on youtube with Teri Garr and the pointer sisters. All of them were wearing the same shoes. Teri Garr is supposed to be 5’7. Cher looked to tiny and was the shortest, at least 2 in shorter than Teri. So I would say 5ft 5 and probably 110lbs if that back in the 70s.

People shrink as they age lol
The whole world is just one big lie!
Interesting! Thanks for your comment.
Cher was at the Orion office in NYC and I walked down the hall with her. I am 5’2″, wearing flats. She had white sneakers on and was a little shorter than me — not 5’9″!
No way I believe that she’s under 5’2″! Lol!
i saw her standing next to brad pitt and he’s 6’3″ and he towered over her, but she’s 5’2′
Brad Pitt is 5′ 10 1/2″ at the most..Cher is 5’6″ most of her life..maybe a bit taller when she was with Sonny. Someone 5’7″ can seem short if in flats or not standing totally erect.
From reading about both of them, he sure isn’t that tall or she that short. Don’t care much how tall, they’re both VERY LOVEABLE🌹
I met Cher in 1971 outside her home and have a picture standing with her. She was the same height as me and I am 5′ 8″.
Cher stands at the height of approximately 5ft’9inch. Saw her recently with alexander edwards. She was a little taller than he was.
I rode up an elevator with Cher about 5 years ago here in NY. It was an 8 floor ride – I am 5’9″ and she was shorter than me with her boots on so 5’6″ is probably about right. The thing with Cher is that this woman has so much PRESENCE she truly seems larger in real life in every way!!
