You sound like someone who never saw the last two seasons of Walker, Texas Ranger. Check out ranger Sidney Cook. She wasn't a very tall person, but in my opinion, that right there is what made her even more awesome. To me, she couldn't have been more of a pistol on that show especially at the beginning of the episode named Bachelor Party. When she is shown taking out this one guy, because of how short she is, she was able to walk up a wall just a little bit at one point and flip herself completely over the guy that she was facing off with it.
God bless you and the actress always!!!
