I don't know what her natural hair color was though.
I believe Audra Lindley's real hair color was blond (at least it was in other roles). I read somewhere that she rarely was recognized as Mrs. Roper because she looked so different out of character!! :lol:

I mentioned Ron earlier in the thread and you're right, Robey's definitely a redhead. Here she is in the video for her God awful cover of Murray Head's "One Night In Bangkok".

Wasn't she also the star of Hart to Hart with Robert Wagner?

... and "State of Grace". She played Hannah's mother on the show (which I haven't seen since 2003 and therefore can't remember her name!)
Adding to the list, Eric Scott, who played Ben on The Waltons.
catlover79 12-28-2008, 02:55 PM Wasn't she also the star of Hart to Hart with Robert Wagner?

Tweety 01-03-2009, 10:51 AM I'll tell you what... you people are GOOD!
When I saw the thread title, and saw that the replies stretched to six pages, I'm thinking "there's no way that there are THAT many famous red-heads on TV!"
Man, was I wrong! There are quite a few mentioned from shows that I've never watched, but I'd forgotten about a lot of those babes from shows that I did watch.
And certainly there are a few fake redheads, but that's ok.
I can't add any to the list, but I sure had just about forgotten a lot of 'em
Good job everyone!
catlover79 01-03-2009, 10:59 AM ^ I know!! I guess redheads on TV aren't as rare a breed as I originally thought. :lol:
Heidi Dawn 01-03-2009, 03:07 PM I don't think anyone mentioned Carole Ita White, best known for playing Rosie Greenbaum on 'Laverne & Shirley', she was a redhead. There's a current picture of her on this sitehttp://www.imdb.com/name/nm0924578/
Also, I don't think anyone mentioned Roz Kelly, best known for playing Pinky Tuscadaro on 'Happy Days'. She was a redhead in her day.
And yes, Linda Kaye Henning is a redhead and still has her hair red today.

Thanks. Khrystyne Haje definitely gets my vote for favorite redhead girl. I've really been thinking about her a lot lately. I wish she would get more television gigs soon. Also, in case a lot of you haven't been to the Head of the Class forum of these boards, I put up a special thread devoted to her over there. What a pretty lady Khrystyne is! :)

howierules86 04-11-2010, 07:32 AM In addition to Khrystyne Haje (who will always be the #1 redhead to me), I also think these nice ladies deserve to be mentioned:
Angie Everhart (has anyone has seen those Nutrisystem commercials she's been in lately? She has such a great body!)
Jayma Mays (she plays Emma on "Glee")
Dr. Thong 04-11-2010, 12:39 PM First off, I would like to thank Monika for starting this thread, because I have a thing for redheads.
Secondly, I would like to thank the people who started putting pictures in their posts, because a thread like this has to have pictures.;)
And thirdly, one of the greatest redheads of all time, Julianne Moore, who got her start on As The World Turns...
