8. Chandra Wilson — 5’0″
While Chandra Wilson may not be the most well-known actress on this list, her longstanding career as a television actress is as good as any other. Most recognized as Doctor Miranda Bailey on the long running medical series Grey’s Anatomy, her embodiment of the role will stay with the fans long past her death in the series and otherwise. While the show may be known to keep the viewers at the edge of their seats, it will definitely be tough on them when she leaves the show. However, would you believe that she wasn’t actually the sort of woman they were looking to cast for the character? They were actually looking for a petite white woman and what they got was Chandra Wilson who, despite being short, is not petite in any regard. On the other hand, don’t start thinking that Grey’s is all she’s done either. She made her television debut on The Cosby Show and has even taken part in Broadway’s revival of the musical hit Chicago!
