As to the “Famous Redheads” link showing exclusively natural reds… I’m pretty sure Gillian Anderson is a blonde and had to dye her hair for the entire run of _The X-Files_. ---

I would have to agree that we are currently suffering a shortage of the truly drop-dead beautiful up-and-comers. There ia rather a lot of girl-next-door prettiness instead, who don’t look so great when glammed up. Which personally I’m happy about. On a purely superficial level, I like ‘naturally cute’ more than ‘carefully beautiful’. ---

> [@Hodge](#): > > Sarah Polley’s always been blonde. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her in anything as a redhead. Link? In [Go](http://www.allmegastar.com/photo/sarah_polley_go_001.html), where I first noticed her, her hair looks red to me. On the [cover art](http://www.moviegoods.com/movie_product.asp?master_movie_id=11671&MGAID=BUTE1089) especially. In [Guinevere](http://www.moviegoods.com/movie_product.asp?master_movie_id=11674&MGAID=BUTE1089) she is a redhead, or at least looks like one to me. Also, as a child actor in Baron von Munchausen, wasn’t she a redhead? Or was she blonde in that? I’m pretty sure she was a redhead, but when I tried googling for a still from that, not only did I feel like a pedophile, I ran across an unsavory-feeling site just a little too devoted to “dreamlets”, and it required a password. I need a shower now, so no more of that, lest I end up having to use a variation of the Pete Townsend defense. But just searching “Sarah Polley”, in the first page of images, she has almost a different hair color for each picture, so I don’t honestly know now. ---

> [@ggurl](#): > > As to the “Famous Redheads” link showing exclusively natural reds… I’m pretty sure Gillian Anderson is a blonde and had to dye her hair for the entire run of _The X-Files_. Yeah, I think you’re right. On first glance it looked to have exclusively natural redheads but when I looked futher I saw they had Rita Hayworth, who was Latina and definitely not natural. I have a wee bit of a chip on my shoulder about dyed redheads. I know it sholdl be flattering that I have a desirable shade of hair color but, dangit, I _suffered_ for my hair color. Elementary school was hell. I didn’t really appreciate being a redhead until high school… ---

> [@TellMeI'mNotCrazy](#): > > I’m starting to see a very strong resemblance between Lindsay Lohan and Carmen Electra. Is that just me? Dood, me too (double-o used for emphasis) There was some shot of her in a sequined dress and she looked just like Carmen Electra. As far as Paris Hilton goes, I can’t help but find her strangely fascinating. While watching her sex tape (with my fiance no less, very odd), I kept noticing her moving to get her face in the camera. The boyfriend kept having to move her to get the actual sex part into frame. She takes the term camera whore to a whole 'nother level. There’s a really good psych study in that girls empty head. ---

I always thought Lohan looks a lot like Joey Heatherton (remember her?). Oh, and can Paris ever get out of a car without making the world her gynecologist? Joke shamelessly stolen from AbFab. ---

On _Road to Avonlea_ Sarah Polley always had blonde hair. And since she was quite a little girl, I can’t quite see them dyeing her hair for any reason. [link](http://www.anne3.com/html/RTA/RTAIndex.html) (scroll down to see a picture of youngster Sarah) ---

Paris Hilton: There is a true art to what she does. How else could she have that much money, and still look that cheap? Lindsay Lohan: Really not that far off of Paris. Has the same “oops, I seem to have fallen out of my clothing in full view of a convenient photographer,” tendency. From what I have read, she also has a bit of an attitude problem. Throwing public tantrums, and being a diva on the set. As for redheads, I admit to having a weakness for them. Alicia Witt has been mentioned. She also has a genuis I.Q. and is a musical prodigy. Red hair and great brains, the perfect woman! ``` The girl from "That 70s Show" lost me when she not only dyed her hair blonde, but has said in interviews that she gets hit on more now that she has defiled (my word) her hair. No accounting for taste. :( ``` ---

[Here](http://www.awfulplasticsurgery.com/archives/005189.html) is what she really looks/ed like. She looks the same to me. Bleached, contact lensed, older and heroin chic’ed up, but pretty much the same. ---

I think Paris is “kinda” attractive, but not particularly so. I see girls who are much prettier than Paris on a regular basis. There are perks to working on a college campus! ---
