To Callygirl, Helen and Rita- Since you girls are the ones blessed enough to get close to Miranda, would like to hear ur opinions, especially since you comment about how petite she seems. IMDB and other list her height as 5'5", but in almost every "lineup picture I see of her, she seems the smallest person. Now I realize you dont have the chance to "size her up", but was interested in your opinions as to whether that is reasonable, or a bit of a stretch. Once had the occasion to stand close to the English actress Patsy Kensit, who is listed at 5'7". Can only assure you that is not within several inches of the truth. Thanks in advance- biggzy.

Hi folks! Welcome to the forum PG! I would guess that Miranda was about 5" 2- 3 - the problem was that she was wearing high heels which kind of skews your perspective. I'm approx 5" 4 - 5 (depends on whether my hair is sticking up) and I would have said she was smaller than me. I also remember there was an ebay item - think it was Miranda's shoes in Southland Tales - and the size stated was a UK size 5 (don't know the global equivalent *hint, Google is your friend*). This is the same size as me, so I don't think my height guess is too far off - proportions and all that. What was Miranda drinking? *obsessives on the board - brace yourselves* From what I could see it was white wine. This surprised me as I thought she preferred red - thankfully she didn't sample the great Scottish vintage known as Buckfast!

Bear in mind I was sitting down when she passed, so it's hard to make a good judgement, I'd say that Miranda was around about 5'4 or 5'5. She wasn't tiny, but she wasn't particularly tall. Callygirl, can you seriously imagine Miranda drinking Buckfast?!

Lol! it's certainly a " cheeky little number with an interesting bouquet " as they say in wine circles! (so I've heard - apparently it also brings your metalwork up a treat). ;D

Wow, you're so lucky! x) I would love to have been in your shoes - would've been better I bet, if you'd spoken to her, but still I'd give anything just to have been in the same room as her! x)

Yeah - it was incredible. I never thought I would get this opportunity and what's even more amazing is that Miranda will have made two Scottish visits this year.
We are so used to being bypassed up here by the most of the big names so I am absolutely delighted as you can imagine!

Two Scottish visits and it's not even Summer yet! What do you mean it is Summer? No one told Scotland!

Helen, from what I hear Scotland does n't even exist. There is just a fantasy land north of Britain where people go when they are tired of life and think there's something better the farther north they go. That's what I did long ago and I've not been the same since. Who would want to claim they were from there ? Your P.M. ?
