The Most Attractive Redheads Ever By ariannafelidae [40 more lists]

To clarify: this is a list of people who have had red hair for as long as we've seen them, not necessarily people born that way. If you can think of a particularly good-looking redhead missing from this list, let me know! I reallllly wanted to add Elsa Lanchester, but could not find a decent color photo! :(

Emma Stone

What to say about Emma Stone? Have you seen her movies? If not, I recommend 'The House Bunny' (I know it was silly, but she was SO funny in it!), 'Zombieland' and 'Easy A' for hours of satisfying entertainment!

Down 83

Isla Fisher

You know her as the crazy sister in 'The Wedding Crashers' or maybe as 'Mary Jane' in the first live-action 'Scooby-Doo' film. Another ginger with a sense of humor!

Up 387

Down 82

Amy Adams

Oh, another funny lady. She can claim 'Enchanted', 'The Fighter' and she got the part of Lois Lane in the upcoming Superman film! What? That's exciting!

Karen Gillan

This plucky girl is the latest companion of the marvelous 'Doctor Who'. She's wonderful at dealing with timey-wimey stuff. :)

Up 262

Down 85

Molly C. Quinn

This up-and-comer has a recurring gig as Nathan Fillion's much-smarter-than-he-is daughter on the spectacular mystery/comedy show 'Castle.'
6

Up 305

Down 110

Alyson Hannigan

You've seen 'Buffy', right? Well, if you don't know her as everyone's favorite lesbian witch, you may have seen her on a little show called 'How I Met Your Mother'. Why is it the redheads seem to be hilarious?
7

Up 291

Down 110

Christina Hendricks

You may not know she's not a ginger...she's been dying her hair from the ripe age of 10. Being known as a redhead for so long qualifies her, I think. I know her as 'Mrs. Reynolds' of 'Firefly'. It's safe to say most everyone else in the world knows her from that show called 'Mad Men.' One of the leading beauties of our time, I would say.

Up 166

Down 62

Kari Byron

You know the really cute, really funny chick on 'Mythbusters'. Yeah, me, too.
9

Up 216

Down 95

Hayley Williams

The front-woman of the band 'Paramore', this little lady has got some serious pipes and is not afraid to ROCK.
10

Up 192

Down 89

Alicia Witt

If you haven't seen her in anything, that's because she flies juuuust under the radar in movies like 'Four Rooms' and 'Cecil B. Demented'. There's no arguing she's a knockout, though.
11

Up 190

Down 89

Deborah Ann Woll

Deborah is another actress who's dyed her hair for years. I know. I couldn't tell, either. Everyone's favorite redheaded vampire on 'True Blood.' Her career is definitely taking off so hopefully we'll see more from her soon!
12

Up 197

Down 99

Laura Prepon

It's 'Donna' from 'That 70's Show!' I haven't really seen her in anything else except guest star appearances on other shows. I like her, though-I hope she does MORE!
13

Up 97

Down 46

Kate Mara

Kate's been acting for years, but no one really paid attention until she did 'Shooter' with Mark Wahlberg. Since then, she's appeared in 'Entourage', 'Iron Man 2' and '127 Hours'.
14

Up 160

Down 88

Felicia Day

Joss Whedon's favorite redhead, you should recognize her from 'Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog.' If you don't-YOU NEED TO GO EDUCATE YOURSELF RIGHT THIS MINUTE. It's a game-changer.
15

Up 150

Down 86

Ann-Margret

You've definitely heard her name before and she is still considered one of the most beautiful ladies to grace the screen-red hair or no. She's been in pictures since 1961 and is still appearing in them in 2011. What a great career.
16

Up 188

Down 110

Nicole Kidman

'Practical Magic', 'Moulin Rouge', 'Stepford Wives' and 'The Invasion' were probably my favorite roles she did. There's really no doubt we will see more fun and different characters from her in the f*ture.
17

Up 91

Down 55

Angie Everhart

Someone pointed out she wasn't on the list...so here she is. ;)
18

Up 106

Down 67

Kelly Sweet

I actually don't know much about her other than that she's a singer. She's mighty cute, though!
19

Up 120

Down 79

Rita Hayworth

It could be argued that Rita Hayworth is the most famous of the redheaded bombshells. I could list everything she's been in, but I think her name (and face) speak for themselves.
20

Up 109

Down 74

Dina Meyer

Ladies and gents, the I'm-gonna-take-this-B-movie-role-and-kick-it's-ass actress: Dina Meyer. She was the gorgeous but jealous redhead in 'Starship Troopers' as well as the wheelchair-bound Barbara Gordon on the short-lived TV show 'Birds of Prey.'
21

Up 74

Down 49

Alex Sim-Wise

This British TV personality and model can definitely be categorized as a gorgeous redhead...
22

Up 59

Down 40

Renee Olstead

She's primarily a singer and got her big acting break in the show 'The Secret Life of the American Teenager'.
23

Up 96

Down 69

Alison Sudol

Singer for 'A Fine Frenzy'. She's got a lovely voice as well as baby-doll good looks.
24

Up 98

Down 71

Rachelle Lefevre

This lady came into recent limelight via her role as 'Victoria' in the first two 'Twilight' films. I don't really know her from anything else, although her acting resume is pretty hefty.
25

Up 160

Down 121

Lindsay Lohan

Say whatever you want about her-I won't judge. But she is a gorgeous redhead, and therefore, makes the list.
26

Up 129

Down 97

Bryce Dallas Howard

Daughter of Ron Howard (like you didn't know!), this beauty most recently starred as 'Victoria' in the 3rd Twilight film. She also played wife of John Connor in 'Terminator: Salvation', but you probably know her best as the 'Lady in the Water.'
27

Up 92

Down 70

Tina Louise

Known for her role as Ginger in 'Gilligan's Island', there is no mistaking she is one of the great 'ginger' beauties.
28

Up 74

Down 58

Kate Walsh

Best known for her roles in 'Grey's Anatomy' and 'Private Practice', this is one redheaded actress who actually dyes her hair brown, now. Huh.
29

Up 131

Down 108

Gillian Anderson

You know-Skully. You KNOW! Most popular for her long run on the TV show 'X-Files'
30

Up 108

Down 89

Lauren Ambrose

Every time I see her I get this mental picture of Seth Green saying 'Yo, I GOTTA have sex tonight!' The movie 'Can't Hardly Wait' came out about the time it was most likely to leave an impression on me, and it really did. You may also know her as 'Claire' from 'Six Feet Under.'
31

Up 94

Down 84

Molly Ringwald

I feel like if I have to tell you what she's been in, it's too late for you, anyway, so: Molly Ringwald.
32

Up 101

Down 92

Marcia Cross

You probably know this lady as 'Bree' from 'Desperate Housewives', or maybe you don't. She had a permanent spot on the original 'Melrose Place,' as well.
33

Up 97

Down 92

Geena Davis

You know her from 'A League of Their Own', 'Beetlejuice' and probably 'A Long Kiss Goodnight' with Sam Jackson.
34

Up 82

Down 79

Florence Welch

Lead singer of the band 'Florence & the Machine'-most known for the songs 'Kiss With a Fist' and 'Dog Days are Over'. This lady is gorgeous and she's got PIPES!
35

Up 80

Down 77

Amy Yasbeck

You probably know her as that chick from 'Wings' or maybe as the hot journalist from 'The Mask' with Jim Carrey. But her best-known role had to be Marian from Mel Brooks' 'Robin Hood: Men in Tights'.
36

Up 67

Down 72

Maureen O'Hara

Wicked famous and talented. Famous for working well with John Wayne in a bunch of films among other well-played roles. Fun fact: She played the mom in the original 'Parent Trap'.
37

Up 87

Down 103

Lily Cole

She hasn't done much yet, but she looks like she's got a great career ahead of her. She was the unique girl in 'The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.'
38

Up 73

Down 93

Tori Amos

The ethereal sounding singer, Tori Amos. If you don't know who she is, my words won't educate you. Try Youtube.
39

Up 65

Down 96

Julie Andrews

'The Sound of Music', 'Victor/Victoria' and 'Mary Poppins' are the roles I can think of just off the top of my head. Famous for her acting as well as her powerful singing voice, this is one redhead that will not soon be forgotten.
40

Up 49

Down 75

Jessica Chastain

So far, she's been in this or that, but is best known for her role opposite Brad Pitt in 'Tree of Life.'
41

Up 53

Down 92

Lucille Ball

The Queen of Comedy, Lucille Ball. When she wasn't making us giggle by making funny faces and/or driving Desi/Ricky absolutely bonkers, she was quite the beauty.
42

Up 28

Down 51

Brigid Brannagh

You may know her as 'that girl from that one episode' from just about every tv show since the late 80s. She finally landed one of the main roles on the show 'Army Wives' in 2007. Maybe we'll see more of her from now on...
43

Up 48

Down 91

Bernadette Peters

She's one of those you either know or you don't. Extremely memorable, she always brings something new to whatever she's in!
44

Up 45

Down 89

Judy Garland

That's right, it's Dorothy from 'Wizard of Oz'. You get a gold star. And a cookie.
45

Up 37

Down 73

Eleanor Parker

Dubbed 'Woman of A Thousand Faces' for her versatility, she is still best known as the Baroness in 'The Sound of Music'.
46

Up 34

Down 78

Myrna Loy

Best known for her on-screen partnership with William Powell in the 'Thin Man' movies. Aside from those, she worked in many movies over a very long and successful career.
47

Up 30

Down 78

Deborah Kerr

All actresses should aspire to have the depth and poise of this talented lady. I think my favorite of hers was 'The King and I' with Yul Brenner. You may also know her from 'An Affair to Remember' which, most people DO remember!
48

Up 24

Down 68

Greer Garson

Greer Garson hit the ground running with plenty of lead roles-e.g. 'Goodbye, Mr. Chips', 'Mrs. Miniver' and 'Pride & Prejudice' and that was just at the beginning of her career.
49

Up 29

Down 90

Madeline Kahn

Another type of Queen of Comedy, maybe? When you see Madeline Kahn, you just know Gene Wilder or Mel Brooks are not far behind. I loved her in 'Blazing Saddles' and 'Sherlock Holmes Smarter Brother' especially.

I can't believe no one has pointed this out already, but Lucille Ball is not a ginger. She's a natural blonde, but Hollywood was experiencing a glut of blondes, so she went red to stand out from the pack.

She deserves to be on the list, but it should at least be mentioned.

The Most Attractive Redheads Ever at 9/09/2011 10:05 PM

A nice start, but you need to redo the list with the following three requirements:

1: Drop the guys, no red headed male actor is attractive, the best they can hope for is to be good actors.

2: Drop everybody who is dead or no longer performing, otherwise the list could go back for decades.

3: Drop everybody who is not a natural red head, otherwise you can fill the list up with people who dyed their hair for one role and got famous for just that one role. Besides, it's a list of beautiful red heads, not beautiful dye jobs.

  2. I may actually drop the guys...I had no idea this list would get so much attention.
  
  3. There's no way I'm giving up Ann-Margaret or Rita Hayworth...if people don't know who they are it's not my fault they're not educated.
  
  4. There's no way I'm giving up Christina Hendricks...so you can chuck that idea.... I clearly describe why she's kept in her description.
