Feature: Top 10 Hottest Redheaded Actresses
Critical Critic: sasori | Published on: August 18, 2007 |
Filed under: Feature
While channel surfing, I happened across this ridiculous show: Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List starring Kathy Griffin (obviously). Aside from being unfunny, the only thing that struck me was her red hair.
Gears started turning in my head and I started to think about redheaded actresses in general. Who are they? Which of them would I gladly sleep with? Below is my list, painstakingly researched (yeah, right). I will say it was harder than it looked especially since I wanted to focus my attention on natural redheads and not the 1,001 dye jobs.
Criteria: Must be a natural redhead; must have starred in a movie; must be relatively young — no dead or old broads.
| 10 |  |
Alicia Witt
A relative unknown, although she’s been around for awhile. I noticed her in the 2002 film Two Weeks Notice in which she plays a sexy lawyer/secretary. She’s got a great set of legs and a great smile. |
| 9 |  |
Marcia Cross
Everyone knows her from Desperate Housewives, of which she one of the hotter wives. Even though she is one of the older ladies on the list, check out her skin tone on an HD television. It is flawless. You can’t pay a plastic surgeon for work like that. |
| 8 |  |
Laura Leighton
While we’re on the subject of Melrose Place (Marcia Cross starred in it), here is another alum. She took the top redhead spot from Marcia when she joined the cast in 1993. Since her stint as the conniving hooker Sydney, she’s bounced around the Hollywood circuit. She still has fantastic curves. |
| 7 |  |
Molly Ringwald
Do I even have to remind you who she is? Every guy wanted to be with her due to the 1980 hits Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club. After all these years, she still looks great and I’d still love a chance with her. |
| 6 |  |
Isla Fisher
She hit my radar screen a few years back in the comedy Wedding Crashers. She is a bubbly and enthusiastic young lady. The fact she has a fantastic shape to boot doesn’t hurt either. You’ll be seeing more of her in the near future. |
| 5 |  |
Laura Prepon
This is the homely girl of the list. You wouldn’t realize it from her role as Donna in That ’70s Show, but she has got herself a kick-ass bod. I wish I had a neighbor like her when I was growing up. No points deducted due to her wearing her hair blonde now. |
| 4 |  |
Angie Everhart
Every list has a model turned actress. Angie fills the role here. Tall, tight and beautiful. There is something predatory about the way she looks that is a major turn-on. Hunt me down, Angie, hunt me down! |
| 3 |  |
Alyson Hannigan
She is perky and cute as hell. It was because of her confession about sticking a flute in her pussy in American Pie that I became a sexual deviant. Due to these reasons she is high on my list. |
| 2 |  |
Nicole Kidman
Hands down the best actress on this list. She is a tall, sexy, classy and sensual woman. I don’t think there is much more to say about her that you already don’t know. |
| 1 |  |
Lindsay Lohan
She likes to get drunk. She likes to snort cocaine. Isn’t a girl as cute as this with these attributes, every guys fantasy? She’s certainly found a foothold in the dark recesses of my mind. |
Go on, hit me with all the women I’ve missed. All I ask is that you actually try and find out if they are a true redhead or not (even though I know you won’t).

You’ve missed a few ringers:
Julianne Moore
Gillian Anderson
Debra Messing
Sarah Wayne Callies
By the way, once you get a true redhead, you’ll never go back to the basic blondes and brunettes. REDS RULE!

Really fantastic work of getting those red heads. Again “Lindsay Lohan’got her AWARD… But she deserves it…

True redhead, just not one I find particularly attractive.
Not a true redhead. Rumor has it she is a blonde.
Not a natural redhead. Hair is brown.
Never seen her before. If she is a true red I would have added her to the list.

Natural haircolor is brown.
Natural haircolor is supposedly blonde.
Natural redhead. Not an actress or someone I find particularly attractive though.

Great list (even though I think Angie Everhart should be #1).
You did miss Rose McGowan though. I believe she is true redhead and definitely belongs on this list.

Hey, no one loves a redhead more than me–I even like ‘em dyed. So I need to point out that several on your list are not natural redheads (or may not be):
Molly Ringwald–It broke my teenage heart when I found out she was naturally a brunette.
Marcia Cross–look back at her older pictures. Hair was brown then. So I’m not sure which is the dye job.
Laura Leighton: Also not sure about her–I’ve seen her with both brown and red hair

Brunette
It breaks my heart, but I believe you are correct. I just a saw a photo of her from Mickey Mouse Club and her hair does appear to be brown. I guess I’ll have to pretend I didn’t see it!
The older photos I saw of her looked auburny, which I included as a red. She is definitely not as red as the hair she currently wears.
She was another one with reddish-brown hair that I included. Seeing as I liked her, I took the leap of faith.
This list was a lot harder than I anticipated; none of these ladies openly admit if their hair is a dye job or not. I suppose next time, I’ll ask for your help fact-checking before I publish my next top-ten list! Thanks for clarification.

Alyson Hannigan is not a natural redhead as she is claiming like EVRYWHERE at the moment since her recent change from the firey red to dark brunette. Check my stepmother is an alien. *sobs*

Lindsay Lohan #1? You’ve got to be kidding. She is total trash.

How about Julia Roberts, Marg Helgenburger and Cynthia Nixon.
How about an honorable mention to Maureen Ohara and Ann Margret. Two of the smokin hottest red heads of all time.
sasori posted a response on: November 1, 2007 | Reply
She certainly is. That’s why she got the number one spot!
Julia Roberts and Cynthia Nixon aren’t true redheads. You’re the first person ever to think Marg Helgenburger is hot!
Indeed there are plenty of redheads from ages past. Part of my criteria was they “must be relatively young — no dead or old broads”.

How about Tawny Kitaen? I still remember that White Snake video like it was yesterday.

She’s done some scary movies; Saw I-IV, but in other films, Shawnee Smith is one the sexiest readheads that I’ve seen.

Good list.
Shame about Molly Ringwald. I had many dreams about her growing up.

One of the hottest redheads out there hasn’t even
been mentioned Tracy Griffith. Younger half sister Of Melanie Griffith.

sweet list. i only disagree with Laura Prepon being in the top 5-Isla Fisher easily tops her.
oh yeah, the nude pics of Marcia Cross show she is a true red—fire bush!

Nice list. I have a few suggestions for additions:
(no particular order)
* Amy Sloan - the redhead from “The Day After Tomorrow” who is against burning the books
* Maria Thayer - Watch “Accepted” and just try to tell me you wouldn’t go to South Harmon just for Rory.
* Rachelle Lefevre - Fever is right! Former “Big Wolf On Campus” star is red hot
* Amber Barretto - I’d spend some “Hang Time” with this “Little Monster” any day!
* Lauren Ambrose - of “Six Feet Under”
* Felicia Day - a bit quirky in her recurring role on “Buffy,” but hot as hell in “Bring It On Again”
* Not really sure about just how red this one’s hair really is, but…Jennifer Morrison, the “House” actress who could take care of me anyday
* Well, this one is rarely a redhead anymore, but Claire Danes is still pretty hot
* A couple of younger - but still legal - ones: Danielle Panabaker (from TVs “Shark”) and Renee Olstead (formerly of “Still Standing,” also a fantastic smooth jazz singer)
As for one of the additions from another poster: Drew Barrymore (not Berrymore) is not a natural red head. Check out ET and Firestarter - she’s a blondie.

Amy Adams looks like she’s got reddish hued hair and she looks damn good.

Ann-Margret should be on here.

@ Ron Weasley
Criteria: “must be relatively young — no dead or old broads”. I think Ann-Margret falls in the “old broad” category.
