Gabriella Annalisa has a larger-than-life presence, which is why she has been able to achieve success as an online celebrity. But fans who meet her in real life might be surprised that Annalisa’s large personality is wrapped up in an itty bitty body. Though her IMDb erroneously lists her at 5’7″, Annalisa is actually under 5 feet tall. She even made a TikTok video about how most people probably have not met a woman her size — although, at 4’11”, she is in decent company in the entertainment industry. There are plenty of stars who are just as short as Annalisa, including Kristin Chenowith, Quinta Brunson, Lil Kim, and Melissa Raunch. Heck, even “Wizard of Oz” actor Judy Garland was only 4’11, and she is a bonafide legend.
With her jokey videos about height, Annalisa seems relatively comfortable with being little. Still, there is one area where her height has held her back and that is modeling, which she has expressed a desire to do. Tyler Boronski asked the star about it in a 2021 interview, and she was honest about how the industry standards were not inclusive of people like her. “I used to model when I was little and then, like, I grew up and never grew,” she said [12:28], later adding, “usually they want really tall girls or really skinny girls and, I think, like, I’m neither.” Though the modeling industry has become more open to petite models, “petite” is usually defined as being between 5’2″ and 5’6″.
