List of redheads

Elizabeth I circa 1546, when she was still a princess
Prince Harry, fifth in line to the British throne
Vincent van Gogh painted himself in Paris in 1887

This is a list of notable people with natural red hair. Red or ginger hair may come in a variety of shades from strawberry blond to auburn.[1] With only 2% of the population having red hair,[2] it is the rarest natural hair colour.[1]

People who dyed their red hair into another colour or who went grey with age are included, but people with hair dyed red, such as Clara Bow, David Bowie, Lucille Ball, Rita Hayworth and Sophie Turner are not.

Figures from the Bible or classical mythology, such as Esau or Judas Iscariot, are included. Characters from modern fiction such as Anne of Green Gables or Ginger Hebblethwaite are not.

The term 'Redhead' is also popularized by Archies comics, USA where its main character teenager Archie Andrews with red hairs for his Scottish roots, is often addressed as 'redhead' or 'redheaded junk' by his arch rival Reggie who despite his handsome looks and deep pockets falls a notch below Archie on gaining the ultimate company and sympathies from the girls around.
