Go short people in the Julia & Julia 2009 film

On The View today, Nora Ephron, writer of the book and director of the Julia & Julia movie said that to make Meryl Streep (who is around 5'6") appear as tall as the original Julia Child who was 6 feet, -only short people were hired for the Paris Market scene. Go shorties!

For many films shorter people, models, actresses are used to make the lead characters look taller if needed, and also many male actors are not super tall so they cast shorter girls to make them appear taller.

P.s: I plan to see the movie this weekend
