Julia Pennington’s Height Is Around 5 Feet 7 Inches (170 cm/1.7 m)
It is quite obvious that Julia Pennington is a tall woman. She stands at a height of 5 feet 7 inches (170 cm/1.7 m). At that height, you will find that she is taller than many Hollywood actresses: it is claimed that the average height for actresses in Hollywood is 5 feet 5 inches (165 cm/1.65 m).
Julia is taller than the likes of Eva Hauge (5 feet 3 inches), Alanna Ubach (5 feet 3 inches), and her Hera The Dog Vodka business partner, Allison Lange (5 feet 5 inches). This doesn’t mean she is one of the tallest in the industry. Nora Arnezeder (5 feet 8½ inches), Gal Gadot (5 feet 10 inches), and several others are taller than her.

She is the president of A Dog’s Life Rescue which she co-founded in 2005. Disregarding that, she also cofounded Animal Spirits with Actress Allison Lange. Hera The Dog Vodka is the flagship product of the distilled spirits company. Through the company, Julia and Allison fund projects aimed at improving the welfare of animals.
