Saffron Burrows, who is 6’0”, loves being tall. In fact, she credits some of her success to it. Burrows thinks that her tall stature gave her somewhat of an advantage when she got the role of Cynthia Taylor in “Mozart in the Jungle,” since her character plays the cello, a pretty large instrument.
Before her acting career took off, Burrows had a successful modeling career going for her but then decided that she wanted to become a performer.
