How tall was Jack Elam?

Colorful American character actor equally good at grizzled sidekicks or ruthless murderers. He had worked in the cotton fields as a boy. He attended California's Santa Monica Community College, and became an accountant and, at one time, president of the Bel Air Hotel. Elam got his first film job because he traded his accounting services for a part. In a short time he became one of Hollywood's most unforgettable supporting characters, due not only to his near-demented film image but also to an out - of-kilter left eye, sightless from a childhood battle.
