Christina Hendricks
Can it really be? Is Joan Holloway naturally… blonde? Okay, so we all know that Holloway is just the character Christina Hendricks played on the AMC series Mad Men. But, c’mon — she played that role so well that it’s practically impossible to imagine Hendricks as anything but a feisty redhead.
As it turns out, Hendricks has always felt the same truth was evident. She first dyed her hair from blonde to red at the tender age of 10. “When I was young, I was very much into Anne of Green Gables, and Anne had red hair. I also watched Gilligan’s Island, and of course, I loved Ginger, and even though I Love Lucy was in black-and-white, I knew she was a redhead. There was just something about her… something sparkly!” she told Glamour in 2016.
The hue has been good to Hendricks over the years. In 2015, she told People it helped her book more modeling gigs in her pre-screen days. Plus, she credits the color — which has “always felt like me” — with securing her career-making role on Mad Men.
