The question about what values happen to be popular in Hollywood and what values happen to be popular in normal social interaction aren’t the same thing.
Despite endless theories about height and the relative success of Hollywood figures, analysis of the heights of today’s top 10 grossing male actors shows the group only about 3 cm taller than average. It’s a different story for leading ladies however, with the top 10 women at the box office standing an average of 6 cm above the norm.
I can’t find exact data on romantic pairings but I would expect that in liberal hollywood some directors purposefully do make choices about romantic pairings where the woman is taller than the man.
