She is a mega acting force in Hollywood, with her resume a towering list of accomplishments.

But it turns out Meryl Streep is far from the tallest actress in the business.

That was highlighted on Thursday when the 67-year-old Oscar winner was sandwiched between Jerry O'Connell and Christopher Reeve's son Will at the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation gala A Magical Evening at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City.

That can't be good for her neck: The 67-year-old icon had to turn her head back to get a good look at Will

But it's worth it! The handsome star is the son of Christopher and Dana Reeve

But it turns out Streep is not short at all. Rather the men are unusually tall. Jerry is 6ft2in and Will is 6ft4in.

Meryl stands at 5ft6in, which is much shorter than other Oscar winners Nicole Kidman (5ft11in) and Charlize Theron (5ft10in), but still five inches taller than Kourtney and Kim Kardashian.

The blonde powerhouse looked perfectly proportioned at the event. The Florence Foster Jenkins star was smart in her black suit with snazzy white men's shirt and boots.
