🏳️🌈 Ms. Marya E. Gates 🦩 @oldfilmsflicker.bsky.social · 19/04/2026For this week’s Silent Sundays post, I have continued working on an investigation that began on Twitter a decade ago. Read: oldfilmsflicker.substack.com/p/was-fw-mur... 65221
David Cairns @dcairns.bsky.social · 19/04/2026His death mask exists, in the Berlin Film Museum, so you could theoretically plonk that atop his skeleton/embalmed form and get a good estimate of his height. Not saying you SHOULD, of course. 130
Steven Rowe @stevenrowe.bsky.social · 19/04/2026Thanks, I knew he was a giant in the film industry; it didn't occur to me that he might be a giant out of the industry as well. At least no one forced him to pose with a basketball.... . 010
Silent Movie GIFs @silentmoviegifs.bsky.social · 20/04/2026It's hard to imagine how he fit inside a WWI biplane when he was a pilot, those seem like they would be a pretty cramped fit even for someone of average height 110
Alex Kittle @alexxkittle.bsky.social · 20/04/2026as someone who frequently thinks about famous people's heights I really appreciated this important investigation! 120
GreGORY Maupin @gjmaupin.bsky.social · 19/04/2026I love that even his monument towers over the ones on each side. 010
