Yep, she was a tall one, but the former queen of Tonga, Salote Topou III, who died in 1965, had her beat. The following is from the Wikipedia article biography of the queen: Queen Salote died 16 December 1965 at Auckland City Hospital, after a long illness. Her body was flown back to Tonga.[3] She was well known for her height, standing 6 ft 3 in (1.91 metres) tall in her prime I aw her arrival in London in a 1953 documentary about the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. Queen Salote towered over everyone around her, including a British escort!

Charles Bronson: 2003 (19)
Robert Vaughn: 2016 (17)
and the bad guy
