Advertisment

Marianna Gillespie is a name that has been linked to some very intriguing public figures in the past. She had a rather fascinating career as an actress during the late thirties and for a time she was even in the midst of the Hollywood Machine, working with such Hollywood heavyweights as Roy Clark and Walt Disney. But it would be her much more public involvement in matters of height difference matters that would ultimately end her days in an impeccable company of women whose names are remembered today.

Taller than you should be It would appear from the public records that Marianna Gillespie had been married to men who were in fact slightly taller than she should have been. The records show that she was married to Richard Bowser, a man who stood a mere 5 feet 6 inches in height and was a resident of California. There is no indication that he ever told her that he was going to be six feet, nor was there any reason to suspect this.

Taller than you should be Many women have indeed married men who were well over six feet, and perhaps you should also give some thought to your own nationality and your height before entering into a marriage of this type. If your father is German or Austrian, chances are that you were not going to be getting away with marrying an Englishman or a French woman. In fact the case of Marianna Gillespie is not that unusual a situation. As we have seen, the issue of nationality can often play a major role in determining how short a person may be expected to grow to be, especially where issues of physical appearance are concerned. Height will come into play most of the time if you are looking to marry a woman who belongs to a nationality which is known for being either tall or short.
