worlds tallest woman – My daughter Nathalie is just 11 years old and she is now 5 feet and 5 inches tall. She is once shy person in school when some of her classmates used to teased her because of her height. So, I explained to her that there is nothing wrong with her height. I said to her to just ignore her classmates and think of her height as an asset and use it to gain self-confidence.

Same thing with Sandy Allen, Worlds Tallest Woman. She grew up in Shelbyville, and by age 10, she stood more than 6 feet tall. And by the time she started at Shelbyville High School, Allen’s height surpassed 7 feet, and her classmates rejected her. But that didn’t stop her.

Sandy Allen graduated and eventually accepted a state job, where her desk had to be lifted on cement blocks so her legs could fit underneath.

In 1975, Guinness World Records named her the world’s tallest woman, and the distinction changed her life.

She became accustomed to interacting with the public and making speaking appearances. Her height also made her a celebrity. She appeared in Federico Fellini’s “Casanova” and on talk shows including “Oprah” and “The Howard Stern Show.”

Sandy Allen spent her life overcoming the physical and social barriers that came with being the world’s tallest woman.

Born with a tumor on her pituitary gland, she reached 7 feet, 7 1/4 inches. But on Wednesday, Sandy Allen Worlds Tallest Woman died at age 53.

She died just before 3 a.m. at Heritage House Convalescent Center, where she spent the last few years of her life. She will be buried in a custom-made casket that will occupy four burial plots.
