Alicia Witt is more than just a pretty actress with red hair. After finding fame as child actor thanks to her role in Dune (the David Lynch version), Witt quickly began to score numerous movie roles, although she may be best known for her appearances in famous TV series such as The Walking Dead, Justified, and Nashville. Not only is she a successful actress, but Witt is a musical prodigy. She is an accomplished pianist, singer, and songwriter and released her debut album in 2021. She has also been a regular in the theater scene and starred in eight Hallmark Christmas movies. There isn’t much she can’t do.
4. Ellie Bamber

Born Eleanor Elizabeth Bamber, English actress and owner of red hair Ellie Bamber first got noticed after being cast in Tom Ford’s less than enjoyable Nocturnal Animals. While the movie is pretty meh, Bamber is the shining light. Since then she’s appeared in several movies and TV series–the most well known being the British adaptation of Les Misérables–along with some theater plays. While she might not be as a big name as some on this list, she is still worthy of mention, with her career on the rise.
5. Julia Roberts

While her hair is a natural blonde, Julia Roberts is best known for sporting red locks. Arguably her two biggest flicks, Pretty Woman and My Best Friend’s Wedding, feature her with red hair, so it’s only right she gets a spot on this list. Her filmography is littered with blockbusters, award winners, and indie fare, with Roberts’ films having made over $3,8 billion at the box office worldwide. She’s worth an estimated $250 million and was paid an incredible $25 million for her role in Mona Lisa Smile, the most by a woman at that time (2003). If you have seen the film you will most likely wonder why she was paid that much, but that is here nor there.
