Lucy was a brunette
Many people remember Lucy as being the hilarious red-head comedian whose facial expressions and whiny yet lovable voice could crack a smile. However, did you know that she’s not a natural redhead? Before she became a huge success, her headshots showed her with brown hair.
That’s right, Lucy dyed her hair for I Love Lucy. According to her biographer, she was never a redhead at all. She had a more strawberry-blond tone to her hair, but it was much easier to just call her the funny redhead on TV. Even after the end of I Love Lucy and its spinoffs, she continued to dye her hair to the iconic color.
