According to a quick Google search, DiCaprio is 6' 0" tall, and 180
pounds.

So, not "over 6 feet". But certainly tall and lanky (though perhaps
that's
a redundant statement...IMHO, "lanky" implies "tall").

Strange, I didn't think Kate Winslet was all that tall, yet she appeared
to be as tall (or taller) than Leo in the movie "Titanic." Yet her
height
is listed as just 5' 8".

She may well be.

S'pose Hollywood might be stretching Leo's stats a bit?

What Hollywood does is set up shots to make things look the way they want
them to look. Lest you forget (as you seem to have), movies are about
*illusion*. I am amused that you could use a movie like Titanic (where, I
hope, you did not think you saw a real live cruise ship sink in the frigid
North Atlantic) to call into question DiCaprio's actual height.

That dumbest of all dumb movies has caused me to question anything and
everything that will ever come out of hollywood. And they even gave it
awards. Unbelievable! It will be decades before I ever spend a penny to
watch anything that comes out of hollywood.

That made me feel good.
