Interesting bit (via Wikipedia) from Roger Ebert:
The film critic Roger Ebert observed that there were many "pretty girls" in cinema "but not many women", and called Papas a great actress. Ebert noted her uphill struggle, her height, 5 feet 10 inches (1.78 m) limiting the leading men she could play alongside, her accent limiting the roles she could take, and that "her unusual beauty is not the sort that superstar actresses like to compete with."[35][36] Ordinary actors, he suggested, had trouble sharing the screen with Papas. All the same, her presence in many well-known movies, wrote Ebert, inspired "something of a cult".[35]
Curious business about her height. It seemed to bother Spencer Tracy (originally cast in TRIBUTE TO A BAD MAN) but evidently not James Cagney, though Papas would have towered above the 5'5' actor. Tracy, however, had health and alcohol issues at the time .
