Brigitte Nielsen
Brigitte Nielsen is best known as the wife of Sylvester Stallone in the 80s. Weirdly enough, she was an entire three inches taller than him, measuring in at 6'1. Naturally, the press back in the day was all over that! They even called her an "Amazon" in a derogatory manner. It surely wasn't easy for her.
"My childhood was really comfortable and secure, but school was a nightmare. I was a lot taller than the other girls and they called me Gitte the giraffe." Kids are brutal! Luckily, she had quite a nice life. She even returned to her Rocky role in Creed II.
