Helena (not her real name) is no where close to being 5’10. Michael Hutchence was around 5′ tall and wore lifts. I knew them both and wrote the song “Wicked Games” recorded by Chris Isaak. I also worked with David Lynch which included on ideas for Twin Peaks. Later I worked with Lynch’s daughter on ideas for Boxing Helena which was inspired by the model after a nasty comment she made to me.
Hi Amy. This is her height recorded when she was signed to various modeling agencies. All of her agencies reports this. So, everyone can’t be wrong.
If you still think her height is wrong, can you please show some proof?
Thanks
