Maria Sharapova towers over Kevin Bacon at award function

Maria Sharapova, who recently met Hollywood actor Kevin Bacon at an award function, easily towered over the actor during the event.

Bacon, who is 5ft 10ins, is hardly vertically challenged, but Sharapova, at 6ft 1in, towered over him at a sporting awards ceremony in Los Angeles, the Daily Express reported.

The 26-year old tennis champion had even teamed up her colourful halterneck cocktail dress with 3-inch killer heels.
