World’s Tallest Woman
// March 30th, 2006 // My Stuff
In 1976 Sandy Allen was declared the “world’s tallest woman – living” by Guinness Book of World Records. Allen is a towering lady at 7′ 7 1/4″. Amazingly this is not far beyond the recognized world’s tallest living man – Xi Shun (7′ 8.95″). Allen has since spent her life traveling around the world encouraging people that it is OK to be different. Allen was born in 1955, at age 22 she underwent surgery to stop her growth. Without this she would have continued to grow and suffer further medical problems associated with gigantism. In 2001 John Kleiman wrote Cast a Giant Shadow: The Inspirational Life Story of Sandy Allen the World’s Tallest Living Woman.
There is some debate on the internet about if Allen is still in fact tallest. De-Fen Yao has been measured at 7′ 8 1/2″. This has not been confirmed by Guinness Book though. (What do these people do?) However, TallWomen.org makes the point that if she is “only” 7′ 7″ which some sources claim, she is still taller than Sandy Allen who can no longer stand up straight and is sadly confined to a wheel-chair now. If Sandy could still stand her bodyweight seems to have caused her back to arch so she can no longer be considered to be 7′ 7 1/4″. I agree that either way Gunness Book needs an update.
Another very tall woman is Heather Greene who has some pictures that circle the net making her look extremely tall, yet she “only” measures in at 6′ 6 1/2″.

actually, the world’s tallest man ever was robert wadlow from Illinois who measured 8′ 11.1″. You didn’t clarify if these were the world’s tallest living people, but if it’s just the tallest ever, then Wadlow is your man.

My god. Her vagina must be *immense*
You could probably park a tiny Japanese truck in there…
woof.
I clarified my sentence about the tallest man by saying “living”. And even then, there is some debate there. You can read all the details about that in my World’s Tallest Man story.
Perhaps next you could do a piece on the World’s Lamest Person. You can find his website here.
Censorship for the win. Zach, you sir, are my hero. :)

The majority of comments above are inappropriate. Your just mad because you couldn’t fill or satisfy a 5 foot woman’s vagina. People who put down others usually have numerous problems of their own. Be nice. Karmas a bitch.

sandy Allen is actually very, very funny! She’s a cool person who suffers from something unusual to us. Tall people are cool that way, she rocks!!
Wow! I came to this site to see some of God/Nature’s amazing creations. Instead I found some of the most dispicable, ignorant and worthless creations making comments on people and conditions they know nothing about. You making these comments are crass, lude and have NO CLASS. You should be ashamed.
I personally have met Sandy and she is a kind and gentle person. Those who speak so vulgar should think first. There are those who choose to mock people because of their size, color, looks or anything else they can think of to make themselves feel better. Yet usually those making the comments have problems of their own. Someone has already spoken of karma I suggest some listen.
The comments are the best bit, very funny, both the outrageous sexist, heightist, ones and the indigant responses. Keep it up, will come back soon for more entertainment. Please don’t ever grow up. I know I won’t.
shes a huge fuker
holyshit its bigfoot..thats a huge bitch aww fuck yeah!!!!:):):) :…

I happen to be a very tall women myself (6′) and to hear people making such lude and vulgar comments toward another person makes me sick. I find that my height intimidates ingnorant people because of lack of understanding toward anything other than what they are accustom to. Look around….what do you have on Sandy or me for that matter. Live and Let Live.
I have one thing to say to people that disrespect other people… You need to stop trying to hurt others just to make up for your own insecurities.
My family and I were showing a show last night a saw Ms. Sandy Allen and many others like her. She has such a wonderful refreshing soul. I truly fell in love with her spirit. This world needs more people like Ms. Sandy Allen. I would love to meet her one day and give her a big hug.
wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thats not true.
all the people making fun of her are funnier than shit! and all the people getting mad and making up things like, ” you have problems and insiquerities” obvioulsy are fat, unwanted people that are to soft hearted to be worth a shit. clearly un-american. you tree hugging hippeis make the world sick. this site is used to gawk at fucked up people and its supposed to be funny. anyone else not comming here for a laugh needs to get a life. TITS…
