I'm surprised that Claudia Wells and Lea Thompson are the same height as MJF. I thought they were taller.

I always taken them to be shorter, so I've always written them as 5' 2'' tall. Harmony Brown is supposed to have the same body shape as Lea Thompson and Claudia Wells, but with curly blond hair and blue-green eyes.

Why did you have them shorter if they were 5'4" in real life?

Well, I didn't know how tall they were. I've heard people mention that Jennifer was two inches shorter than Marty, but maybe they were referring to Elisabeth Shue. So I thought they were two inches shorter than MJF. I was mostly responding to your comment of thinking they were taller than him.

Oh, that makes sense. I'm only one inch taller than Biff.

That is pretty tall! Imagine what Tom Wilson in drag might've been like. I don't know if it's true - but I heard it mention that the Bobs had, at one time, planned to do that. That would make Biff about a head taller than Marty.
I figured Mr. Strickland didn't seem that much taller than Marty - so 5' 6'' sounds about right.

Their noses touched each other.

Yeah, I remembered that. I always thought it was somewhat amusing. Mr. Strickland probably had bad breath, though.
needles1987 - January 16, 2008 06:13 AM (GMT)
LOL! He looked like the type who has bad breath.

Marty apparently has perfect teeth - or, at least, by Old West standards. I wonder if Michael J Fox had perfect teeth in real life, though. He did smoke quite a bit, and I've heard that tobacco can stain your teeth.

I wonder if Doc has bad breath. He's seems to be the type that's so absorbed in his experiments that he forgets to brush.
bttf44 - January 16, 2008 06:25 AM (GMT)
Probably so. I wouldn't doubt it. It is interesting that Doc Brown and George McFly are the same height, and Biff is two inches taller than them.

I'm a foot taller than Michael J. Fox. I'm also the same height as Michael Gross (Steven Keaton from Family Ties).
