So, just eyeballing the image, her height looks about right to me. Of course, the fact that they've got her between two relatively tall characters makes her look short by comparison.

I see the Borg Queen, Zefram Cochrane, Lily, some dude from Insucktion, and Ron Perlman's Reman Viceroy. I think the first character on the next line down is supposed to be Picard's clone in Numbesis. Back on the sixth line; the Duras sisters were in the show primarily, but they also appeared in Generations. So that's eight characters from four movies.
