How tall was Marie Dressler?

You wouldn't forget her until you've seen her. She was one of the top box office draws of the sound era in spite of her age and weight. When she joined a theater company she was 14, and she went on to perform on stage and in light opera. She was on Broadway by 1892, and then became a star comic on the circuit vaudeville. She had a success in 1910 with 'Tillie's Nightmare' which Mack Sennett adapted to film with Charles Chaplin as Tillie's Punctured Romance (1914). Marie took top billing over a young Chaplin but never began her film career and by 1918 she was out of movies and out of work.
