Suggestion: special folder for actresses who tend to make their characters this, since nearly every live-action entry consists mainly of saying how tall the actress is.

I agree - there's a difference between someone who is portrayed as being tall and beautiful (like P'Li from The Legend of Korra, who is explicitly a head taller than either of the men on her team and designed to be attractive in an intimidating Grace Jones way) than just sticking Gwendoline Christie on the list simply because she's tall IRL.
Would not Rogue from Marvel qualify? She's generally fairly consistently portrayed as being between 5'7" to 5'9", and between Ms Marvel's Flying Brick powers(and losing them) and then getting Sunfire's(in addition to fire-powers), definitely seems to me like she should.
Got another idea for the image caption: "Now you be a good little boy, Mr. Miracle". That's what the new image makes me think of.
