30+ Stunning And Successful Redheads Of Hollywood

It might be difficult to recognize Karen Gillan without the blue makeup from head to toe, but she is the actress behind Nebula from The Avengers franchise. She had to shave off her gorgeous red hair for the role, but it was definitely worth it.

Gillan grew up in Scotland, where she was bullied for having red hair. She never let the bullies get to her because she had an encouraging family who pushed her to pursue her acting dreams.

As a Scottish native, Rose Leslie's red hair is a reminder of where she was born. The stunning actress studied acting at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, which lead her to her first screen debut in New Town. Leslie won a Scottish BAFTA for her performance.

Leslie then landed a role as Gwen Dawson in Downton Abbey. Her most recognized role is her performance as Ygritte in Game of Thrones, where she met her husband, Kit Harrington.
