Peter Sellers Height

5ft 8 ½ (174 cm)

English actor best remembered for roles in Dr Strangelove, The Pink Panther films, The Ladykillers, I'm All Right Jack, Casino Royale, What's New, Pussycat?, Lolita, Being There and The Party. On his Spotlight casting page in the late 1950's, he was listed as "Height 5 feet 10 ½ inches". The problem with Peter (Sellers) was he suffered from insecurity and on this particular film he found out that Richard Todd was wearing 'lifts' in his shoes to give him extra height as he is fairly short. This was nothing new for Richard but Peter assumed he was trying to upstage him in their scenes together so he started wearing lifts as well. I thought it was all a bit silly especially as I was taller than both of them so when we had a scene with all three of us I also wore lifts.
