"I'm always reminding myself that everything doesn't have to be perfect, just have to be authentic and sincere."
~ by unknown, but pinned by a woman named Marina Salas
Spanish actress, Marina Salas has worked in a number of movies and TV series - too foreign-sounding to name them here, but probably good anyway.
Where height is concerned Marina's is all over the place. Many websites on the internet list her anywhere from 5'2" (157.5 cm) to 5'7" (170 cm) - that is the difference of 5 inches - about as much as between male and female members of our species, and the difference between the earth and the moon for all we know.
The most accurate listing seems to be Wikipedia's (even without citation). Marina is not the tallest woman out there, but she is not short either. Wikipedia lists her at 5'3" (160 cm), if this listing is true then Marina is around half-inch shorter than the average Spanish woman but still average or above average if you consider the height of all women around the world. After looking her up, we have little reason to doubt that listing.
The real height of Marina Salas is
5'2.5" or 159 cm

Data collected more or less from Wikipedia and some other sources. All heights are supposed to belong to relatively young people of the urban areas, so they may come out slightly over the real average height. Expect a slight discrepancy from real life.
