People are often struck when they see actors in real life: they are often short with small bodies and large heads. It makes sense that this body type is preferred in film with the emphasis on close-ups for acting.

I looked up the heights of the Kardashian family -Kris (mother): 5'6" -Robert (father): 5'7" -Kourtney (first-born child and first daughter): 5'1" -Kim (second child and second daughter): 5'2" -Khloe (third child and third daughter): 5'10" -Rob (youngest child and only son): 5'11" First, as the Kardashian siblings go from older to younger, they go from shortest to tallest; it's appropriate that Rob would be taller than his younger sisters. Second, this shows how random and even unfair genetics can be in regard to height; it's unfair to Kourtney and Kim. I've got a few examples from my own family. -On my mother's side --My mom is both the youngest of three siblings and the shortest at 5'4". Her sister, my aunt, is the oldest and is 5'6". Their brother, my uncle, the middle child is the tallest at 6'3". He told me he's been that since he was twelve (like how Will Smith has been 6'2" since he was thirteen). As for their parents, my grandparents, my grandmother was 5'9" and my grandfather was 5'8 1/2" (he found out he grew an inch-and-a-half during his time in the Marine Corps). --Speaking of my grandmother, she has two brothers. One of my granduncles is 5'10". The other granduncle used to be short for his age, but eventually grew to be 6'4". As for THEIR parents, my great-grandparents, my great-grandmother was 5'2" and my great-grandfather was 6'0". --The granduncle I said was 6'4"? He had two daughters with his wife who definitely take after their mother in height. My grandaunt and my two cousins are all no taller than 5'4". -On my father's side --His mother, my grandmother, is the oldest of nine siblings and the shortest at 5'3". The rest of her siblings were all either of average or above-average height, including one sister, my grandaunt, who is/was 5'10"-5'11". Among them was also a brother, my granduncle, who was 5'10" (though considering he was a high school football player who enlisted in the Marines, you can imagine that he was a jacked 5'10"). --His father's brother (who was probably around 5'10" like my dad and grandpa or maybe a little shorter) had three sons with his wife who is above-average height. Their second and third sons are probably around the same height as my dad, but the oldest son is 6'6". -Then, there's me. Between a 5'4" mother and a 5'10" father, I'm barely 5'10". Depending on the time of day and whether or not I got a decent night's sleep, I'm like 5'8"-5'9". Considering my mother's brother is 6'3" and THEIR mother's brother was 6'4", you'd think the pattern would continue and I would be 6'2", but nooooooooo! Life's not fair.

I would argue that for the females, anywhere from 5’ 1 to 5’4 would be more normal a height for a female than say 5’6 or higher. Although I’ve always been jealous of those girls and wanted to be taller than my 5’3 For guys I would say anything below say 5’10 would be considered short but more frequently we’ve seen the average height for guys be more like 5’6 to 5’9 and taller guys to kind of be the outlier
