Height Comparison
A
Clara Bow, Loretta Young, and Norma Shearer. Loretta Young's height is given as 5'3.5", same as Clara Bow.
About the same height was given for a number of screen stars. The coroner gave 5'3" as Thelma Todd's height, which is close to the same height. Although I don't think that Clara Bow and Loretta Young were taller than Thelma Todd. It looks like someone gave the wrong figures.

They could have been trying for that effect, but comparisons with people in other photos also give the impression that Thelma Todd was around the size that was claimed at the time.
