"Life's too short. I'm not!"
~ Kristin Chenoweth
Famous actress and singer, Kristin Chenoweth is known for her roles in movies such as The Witches, RV, Holidate, The Boy Next Door, Hairspray Live! etc.
There is a saying that all good things come in small packages. This saying appears to be true in this case at least. Kristin Chenoweth does come in a small package. Small but how small exactly?
Well at the ripe old age of 12, Kristin performed the Evie song "Four Feet Eleven". The chorus begins as, "I'm only 4 feet 11, but I'm going to Heaven"
Everyone knows that girls stop growing well before boys but don't you think 12 is a bit too early, or perhaps a kid should never sing this "Four Feet Eleven" song because she or he would risk stopping their growth at 4-feet-11 inches!
Kristin once claimed to be 4-feet-11 inches tall, but after taking a careful look at her, we think Kristin looks even shorter than her claim. So the song is not cursed after all, oh wait...
