I had the same sensation of amazement when I passed Kirk Douglas in the lobby of a London hotel - a tiny figure with a large head. Seemed more lie a sculpture than a living being. I've been told that James Dean had the same big head/small torso combination, and ditto Edward G Robinson. I wonder whether they started out that way, or did their heads expand with stardom? BTW Liz Taylor's eyes are a most extraordinary shade of violet, but only in real life - no color process seems able to catch it. And Vivian Leigh had a tiny head, like a Limoges figurine.
