Jimmy is 5'10" and he looks tiny next to Jill there who is 5'6". I'm not sure what is going on with this pic (it may just be a weird perspective) but it's definitely not as it appears.

Edit: Rosalynn Carter is 5'5" and Joe is 6'.

That is true but originally Jill was 4" shorter than Jimmy and in the pic it appears like she is substantially taller. Old people shrink but not by a foot. I think this is mostly just a strange perspective. The chairs are particularly low but I think they are also deep. Between that, his incredibly poor posture, and their relative positions to the camera we're getting an optical illusion.
