This doesn't surprise me. Height has been mainstream since the 1920's when the boom of Hollywood began.

I think height was a big deal even before than. Think of all the people in history and how tall men were viewed as stronger, smarter, alpha males.

People Magazine is part of entertainment. I am guessing that is why it is here.
