Anna Cathcart Height — if you’ve binge-watched To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before (and seriously, who hasn’t?), you know her as the bubbly, sarcastic, and adorable Kitty Song-Covey. But beyond the charm and witty comebacks, folks have been buzzing about something else… her height.
Yeah, I know. It sounds random, right? But trust me, when you see her on screen, it kinda sticks in your mind.
So, what’s the deal with Anna Cathcart Height? Let’s break it down.
Growing Up in the Rain: Vancouver Beginnings
Born June 16, 2003, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Anna started acting way before most of us had even heard of Netflix. She was just eight when she began appearing in commercials for brands like Crayola (which feels oddly perfect, because she colors every role she’s in).
- I remember walking past a Crayola display at Walmart and thinking, “Man, I wish I had that kind of glow.” The smell of those crayons still reminds me of sticky summer afternoons.
Anna’s first major role was as Agent Olympia on Odd Squad from 2016 to 2019. That role even snagged her a Canadian Screen Award. Not bad for a kid who probably still had to ask her mom how to use a curling iron.
From Disney’s Dizzy to Everyone’s Kitty
After Odd Squad, Anna played Dizzy Tremaine in Disney’s Descendants 2 and 3. But it was her role as Kitty Song-Covey that shot her into the international spotlight.
- And I gotta say, I envy her sass. My own comebacks usually come 10 minutes too late—like when you say “you too” after the waiter tells you “enjoy your meal.” Classic me.
She reprised Kitty in the sequels To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You and Always and Forever. And recently? She’s taken the lead in XO, Kitty, a Netflix spin-off that explores Kitty’s life in South Korea. I haven’t binged it yet, but from what I hear, it’s wicked good.
Okay, Okay… What’s Anna Cathcart Height, Really?
Alright, here’s the juicy bit. As of 2025, Anna Cathcart Height stands at 5 feet 5¼ inches — that’s roughly 1.66 meters for all y’all who like the metric system.
- To put that in perspective, the average height for women in North America is just a tad shorter, so Anna’s got a little extra presence without towering over everyone.
Her height works well on screen — she’s graceful, relatable, and believable as the characters she plays. Not too tall to feel intimidating, not too short to be overlooked. Just right, like a Goldilocks zone of height.
School, Stardom, and Staying Sane (Or Trying To)
Here’s something I find impressive — Anna graduated high school in 2021 and is currently juggling her studies at the University of British Columbia, majoring in sociology and creative writing.
- Meanwhile, I can barely handle scrolling through my phone for five minutes without getting distracted. Seriously, balancing school and acting? That’s like trying to text, cook, and watch a movie all at once without burning popcorn.
Anna’s mentioned that balancing both is challenging but rewarding. I believe her. When I tried working and studying at the same time, I just ended up accidentally submitting a grocery list instead of my term paper. True story.
Family Ties and Cultural Roots
Anna’s got an older sister, Sara, who’s a big influence in her life. Family means a lot to her — kinda like how my mom still calls me every day to make sure I’m not living off instant noodles.
- She’s of Chinese and Irish descent, which is a pretty cool mix. I imagine family dinners filled with amazing stories, spicy dumplings, and hearty stews.
Growing up in Vancouver’s diverse community has shaped Anna’s appreciation for culture, something she often talks about in interviews. I can relate; growing up in a multicultural neighborhood definitely gave me a taste for all kinds of weird but awesome food combos.
What’s Next on Anna’s Horizon?
Anna’s not just sitting on her laurels. Her work in XO, Kitty shows she’s ready for more complex roles. I wouldn’t be surprised if she starts picking up parts that involve juggling flaming swords or playing detective on a spaceship.
- She’s got the talent, the smarts, and apparently the height to carry any role with confidence.
Quick Detour: Random Tidbits (Because Why Not)
- Fun fact: Back in Victorian times, people believed talking to plants prevented madness. I talk to my begonias just in case. Maybe Anna talks to her scripts before shooting.
- That cracked watering can you see at Pete’s Hardware on 5th Ave? The one I accidentally knocked over while buying some garden gloves? Yeah, it survived my overwatering phase, unlike my first herb garden. RIP, Gary the basil.
Wrapping It Up — Sorta
Rain. Mud. Acting gigs. Homework. This whole Anna Cathcart Height story is more than just a number.
- Yeah, she’s 5’5¼” tall. But what really counts is her talent, her dedication to school and craft, and her down-to-earth vibe.
- I’ve jotted some of this down at my favorite coffee spot, spilled a bit on the paper, and transcribed it here, smudges and all. Keeps it real, right?
As noted on page 42 of the totally legit and out-of-print ‘Acting & Life: Lessons from Vancouver’ (2019)—authenticity beats height every time.
