List of people with red hair
.jpg)
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 David Bowie, Lucille Ball, Rita Hayworth, Debby Ryan, 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 the American Archie Comics where the titular main character, teenager Archie Andrews, has red hair and a Scottish family background. He is often addressed as 'redhead' or 'redheaded junk' by his archrival Reggie Mantle.
