Thandiwe Newton has been keeping busy! The average height for an English woman is around 5ft 4in (162.5cm), which means her height of 5ft 3 ½in (161.3cm) is slightly below average for an English woman. She wears a shoe size 7 (US).
We last saw the 40-year-old British actress in January at the 2013 Golden Globe Awards, but we imagine we’ll see more of her again soon, thanks to her role as Lorie in the upcoming “The Women of Brewster Place.”
Thandie is also known for her roles in the movies “Beloved,” “Mission Impossible II,” “The Truth About Charlie,” “Crash,” “Pursuit of Happyness,” and “For Colored Girls.”
Last year, we saw her in “Good Deeds,” which won Best Movie at the BET Awards.
While we get ready to see Thandie gracing the red carpet again soon, let’s take a look down shoe memory lane.
