Rob, I feel Wilfrid Hyde-White deserves an entry, don’t you?

At 27:00, see with Holloway: Click Here

Near 5’10” peak for Wilfrid. Interestingly above, there was hardly an inch between Hyde-White and Holloway in TEN LITTLE INDIANS- so Holloway held his height better into later years.

Rob, while you’re on a hot streak adding actors from Ten Little Indians, can you also add Mario Adorf?

We’re due a German actor and he was one of the biggest of his era. Near 5’9.5” with Holloway below around 4:20

He is one German actor who is missing and deserves an entry. For a peak somewhere in 5ft 9 range looked likely.

Rob, you know what, the full 5’9” might actually be a more accurate peak, as he could still look near 175cm well into his 70s.
Editor Rob
Given his age in some of the films, 5ft 9 could well be a close fit to what he measured.

Let’s start a Stanley tag, Rob!

Nice one, a weak 5’9” peak serves Holloway well. I kept forgetting he was in his mid 70s at time of My Fair Lady and Ten Little Indians. Working into his 80s must have kept him spry, the man lived to 91, what an achievement for a man born in the 1800s.
Editor Rob
Yeah, maybe even a chance of full 5ft 9 in his 20's?

The 'name' pages are automatic, once there's enough it will get created. Either 6 or 7 is minimum I believe, else there'd be thousands of those pages!
