I agree. She looked the most beautiful at one scene where she wore glasses; "He took it out."

Is it possible to be that short (average height is my guess) and be beautiful? As opposed to pretty, attractive, and so on.

Yes. Beauty is unrelated to height.

What, you can only be "beautiful" if you're a leggy 6-foot Amazonian model?

I think the word "cute" can sometimes imply diminutive size, but I've never noticed "beautiful" being associated with height.

model?

never

I associate beauty with being tallish (say at least 5'6") and having a long neck. I am trying to figure out if I am an outlier. In my mind elegance and beauty get associated. Out of the current crop of famous TV 'babes' only one comes to mind that I would call beautiful. The gal who was/is on Spin City. That doesn't mean that many (most?) of them don't have enormous appeal to me.

I guess, bottom line beauty is to me a 1 in a 100 thing and the other terms are a 10 (or more) in a 100 thing. A great many of Jerry's dates were beautiful and even some of George's.

That would certainly describe most runway models and professional ballet dancers, but I don't necessarily find them beautiful. I think I know what you're going for, and I'd say that's just your personal opinion of what is beautiful rather than something implied by the word itself. To me, I think the fashion industry tends to look for "unique women" (especially in the last decade or so) for their runway models. As a result, I actually find a number of them somewhat UNattractive, despite being tall and long-necked.

Here's an interesting question: is Cindy Crawford beautiful? She's tall and in great shape, but doesn't have that long-necked ectomorphic body shape you apparently feel is required for true "beauty", yet I find her far more beautiful than just about any current runway model. Or what about someone even more curvaceous and voluptuous like Britney Spears? (No fair judging her on her music.... :-P ) Or someone short like Janet Jackson, Michelle Pfeiffer, or a substantial number of Playboy models (many of whom are under 5'6")?

I think most of us here feel Julia Louis-Dreyfus is very beautiful, despite her height of just 5'3". And if you don't want her, that just reduces the competition for those of us plotting to get rid of Brad Hall. :-)

in "The Movie" (season 4)Kramer describes Jerry as 5'11 to the ticket seller. Not sure if that's true.. Somewhere Kramer is described as 6'3 I think?..

Jerry tells the cops that Kramer is 6'3" when Kramer is suspected of being a serial killer. I am *still* trying to absorb all the content out of that pair of episodes. I am missing something fundamental about who these girls are. The girl in the van is killed, right? For no discernable reason? And then we see a second victim's face. Who is that? Since we see the face I assume we are supposed to recognize her.

It is getting harder and harder to fit things together as they cut the original edit in the TV stations desire to get the ratio of program to commercial to 0:100. Eventually it may be impossible to analyze these things. You just can't keep removing parts from a fine Swiss watch and still expect it to keep time.

It took me several viewings before I could understand the word "Delores".

Forget that, how tall is he in the police line-up in the episode where Jerry takes the polygraph after lying about not watching Melrose Place?

Dave (that'll tell the story.)

IMDb says Michael Richards is 6'3", Jason Alexander is 5'5", and Julia Louis-Dreyfus is 5'3".
