World’s Tallest Woman
March 30, 2006
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″.

Got something to say?
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!!!!:):):) :…

MY brother likes you the one on top anna
holy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT WOMAN IS TALL!!! is she taller than yao ming?
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…
and vier nailey is a fckng jackass for thinking this was some type of instant chat.
“bringing the brown man down” - Reverend Loki
My guess is that she smells like peanuts and lettuce. In fact, her tall stature must mean that she likes to throw tomatoes at pine cones.
umm..ya wat u said O.o
Thats 1 big mother fucker. Her tampon would be like 6 ft long lol.
that is really big if i ere there i would faint
wow!!!! i cant believe my eyes thank you
Hi, its cool to see such tall people. R E S P E C T to all of them. I aint tht tall myself so i think these people are cool.
All you sick fucks that have commented on these brave women and their vaginas/tampons/sexlife/whatever, should get a bloody life. I hope u are all struck down with an equally horrible disease and i can write filth on your website. bastards the lot of you
p.s. to reverend Loki specifically: im actually blonde, rich, gorgeous, very much wanted and ninty five pounds so your theory is obviously just bullshit. but then again to be compassionate and uncowardly would be unamerican. that fuck im british!!!!
that iz amazing how tall she is
HI ALL

i really like the tall women and she is my favorite its easy for me to such her boobs coz i can without bending myself down i want to see her naked body too coz i like
I just read comments hit and miss. Some of you are just mean! These are people with bigger problems than their size. They have to put up with the likes of some of you on a daily basis! That is so wrong! Put yourself in their shoes…oh, never mind…no matter how big you were you would never be able to fill them…
Lol… I’m just wondering, why do all you people come here, isn’t for entertainment? Or factual info? Or is it just some weird fetish?
what a lady is that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wonna to marrage her so Iwanna to get het moplie number I have I big penis
First of all this site should be monitered! Most of you should be ASHAMED!
I met Sandy Allen when I was a little girl, at the Famous Stage Coach Inn. My Dad, Thomas Gettelfinger, amoung other fellows flew model Airplanes, hand crafted for shows weekly, includding the ever so famous “snoopy’s dog house”. Sandy, very kind and warm, gentle women. I saw her as normal. My dad did the first air mail by either hang glidder or model airplane for her. Sorry, I was very young. I do have the news paper clippings, I will have to look at them again. If you have any questions or additions to this time in history, please email me at sizrwiz@aol.com Thanks for Reading my comments, Cindy…..with our Love to Sandy and her Family and to the Stage Coach Inn…for the Memories!
Take care, Cindy Written in Memories of Thomas Gettelfinger
I think this is sad. I mean I am only a teen, but the thing is… these people have no self resepct at all. I think these people have just as much right as yu do, so I dont see the differene in anyone like that.
What if your kid ends up like the laughing matter of the world? Will you laugh? I didnt think so. So everyone who talks bad about people like this who have no say in what they look like, must have something wrong with them, because then they wouldnt make fun of people like this. YOu know its a sin to make fun of the deformed. I hope you all learn your leson one day. I hope so… =’[
Hey guys
Hey Andrew!
You didn’t have to call her a bitch!
Not good!
i was going to use this site as research for my anatomy and physiology report on gigantism, but you disgusting, male pigs just ruined that for me. You all should be ashamed of yourself talking about a women that way and making it known to the world. Talking about it between a close group of private friends is one thing but posting it where she could potentially see it is wrong.
Hey Andrew!
You didn’t have to call her a bitch!
Not good!

You(she) is a tall woman well taller than me of course.
this people are so normal once you get to meat the yea they might look a few feet tealler than you but that doesnt mean anything. im 12 and ive always been the tallest girl and im prooud of that cause i cant just reaach the top shelf. and the people that are laughing at this tall cool poeple that are just like u i actually feel sorry for them cause watch ur kids come out like that and its always better to reach instead of needing a stool.to stand on
I believe that when God Himself creates anyone or anything, it is His masterpiece. To put anyone down for their looks or mental ability is putting down our Creator. Everyone is different in all kinds of ways. Whether it be looks, talents, or anything else, we are all special, and have been given a gift from our Creator. We were all put on earth for a reason. Sandy Allen and other different types of special people are aware of their differences. I believe that when someone tries to show us a bright side to everything, and that we all have gifts to use, that these types of people are who we need to look up to.
Do you people even know how extremely painful and awful the disease of acromegaly is? The neuro-surgery to remove a pituatary tumor is very serious and difficult. This woman has been through hell and her height is just a side note to the disease she suffers from….grow up and have some compassion for God’s sake! I’m sure she has never used such disrespectful words in her life.
she is really big
