The Times newspaper quoted - from a book about his wife - Barbara saying "In walks this grizzly, gruff man and the first thing he said was, 'My, you're tall.' I'm 5ft 10in and we looked eye to eye". She also commented that Danny Kaye suggested wearing Murray space shoes to him to help with his feet/knee pain, "They looked a little odd...and also gave the mistaken impression that he wore lifts. Not true. At five feet ten and a half there was no reason to."
On His 1979 Pilot licence he had himself listed as 71 inches and Weight 181 pounds.

I'm no damn six-foot cowboy! All cowboys on TV have to be six feet tall. Does Fennelly know I'm only five ten?
