When Sidney introduced me [to Richard Widmark], the words that came into my head and flapped out of my mouth before my brains got into gear were, "Oh my, but you are so little"...he was about five feet tall, at least a foot taller than Frankie [a midget Ruby had been married to]. It didn't occur to me at the time but Widmark was one of several short leading men in Hollywood - Cagney, Tracy, Ladd....but the way the cameramen framed their shots, you'd never know it from watching them on screen. You could swear a 5ft tall man was 6ft 2.

I'm six foot four. Widmark is a slight man
