Reply #6: Notably, one industry where short people are NOT discriminated against

[RaleighNCDUer]

to a major degree is film - there are any number of film stars who are below average height. Of course, film can hide that fact - during his career most people did not know Alan Ladd was something like 5'6 - he was the HERO, so he had to be 6' tall, and his films showed him that way. Same with Tom Cruise. And any number of female leads were barely 5' - Betty Davis, for one, was tiny, but she was HUGE on the screen.

OTOH, it does apply with stage actors. The taller man will get cast, as will the taller woman so long as she is not taller than the man.
