A mini bio of Molly's early years. As for the question whether she really was a true redhead. She clearly was as was her father K6YBV who had some red in him.

I'd say it's debatable. She looked more "auburn/brown" as a girl, before they transformed her into "total redhead" to become the '80s cinema teen queen. Her dad looks more brown to me too.

The auburn hair gene is closely related to the red headed gene. There are different levels of red. https://www.medicinenet.com/is_auburn_hair_natural/article.htm

Yeah. Some people would insist she had brown hair back then, but I'd at least say auburn.
