"Do I get recognised? It's embarrassing; I think it's my hair. It's mad, yeah I can go out, but I get recognised all the time...

Celebrity quote: (www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf, 28 May 2010, stated he told 'BANG Showbiz')
Grint told The Daily Star that it's time to give his signature red hair a break. "I'm going to shave off my hair or at least dye it," the 22-year-old English actor confessed.

Grint wants to retain his role as the ginger prince of Hollywood beyond his role in the Harry Potter movies.

And it’s nice that Ron is quite a respected ginger!"(07/13/2011, www.showbizspy.com)

The gorgeous curvy redhead said that at first she didn’t even realize she was different than a lot of the skinny waifs in Hollywood. "It might sound silly but I didn’t realize I was so different.

Plus, when a 'New York Times' blogger called her a 'big girl' at the 2010 Golden Globes, she said of the attention -- "It kind of hurt my feelings at first.

I was working my butt off on the show ['Mad Men' TV series], and then all anyone was talking about was my body!" Celebrity quote: (February 2010 'New York Magazine' (nynag.com) interview -- 'The Woman of the Hourglass'.)

(The band name "LaRoux" refers to her red hair)-- "Finally, a friend of mine is concerned about the grammatical inaccuracy of "La Roux". He says that it should be "Le Roux" for a man, or "La Rousse" for a woman. I dunno, it was in this baby name book! It was their fault! Obviously, "La Roux" looks much better written down. Also, I didn't know it was wrong until about a month after I chose it...I just didn't care. It's so irrelevant.
To me, it means "red-haired one" – and it does, vaguely. It's just a male version of "red-haired one", which I think is even cooler, because I'm well androgynous anyway. So it kind of makes sense." Celebrity quote: (Interview by Nottingham Post, 04/24/2010)
(Elly Jackson, LaRoux, singer/songwriter/musician)
"I am small, like the wren, and my hair is bold, like the chestnut bur, and my eyes like the sherry in the glass that the guest leaves." Celebrity quote: (Said of herself, according to Caesar Blake, 1964, in 'The Recognition of Emily Dickinson: Selected Criticism Since 1890').
(Emily Dickinson, poet)

(Ann Sheridan, actress)

"Redheads have more fun," Amy Adams promises. "I was blond most of my life and I had to dye my hair for a role. I couldn’t believe the difference when I went red. I just felt ‘wow, I’m home’. It’s great. You do something stupid when you’re blonde and you’re dumb. Do something stupid when you’re red and you’re a character." Celebrity quote: (The Irish Times.com - March 4, 2011)

Made my cut and I got up and celebrating. We were right by the home fans, and they shouted: 'Put down your redhead...' It was pretty funny. I said nothing about that I was a Weasley." When asked if they'd color their hair back days after finishing the filming? Oliver: "We have to get it cleared first." James: "We're going to color it again in two weeks when the filming of [Harry Potter:]'Deathly Hallows' begins. I think it's pretty permanent for the next nine months, but I do not think I'm ever going to color my hair red again."Celebrity quote: (http://www.snitchseeker.com/harry-potter-news/james-and-oliver-phelps-talk-redheads-deathly-hallows-and-casting-65831)
A separate interview -- Oliver: "Our natural hair color is brown, and they had to dye it back [red] recently and it took four or five hours to get the color back to match the continuity of the film. So I think I'll be quite glad when I'm not having a load of dye put in every three weeks or so."

It's really shocking and strange." Celebrity quote: (Oct.article in usmagazine.com/celebrity-news)
