My Favourite Beautiful Brunette Actresses - With Pictures

Brunettes are my favourite. It may just be because I'm one myself, but whatever the reason, I still consider them some of the most gorgeous ladies.

Below you'll find a selection of some of the most beautiful brunettes in Hollywood. You'll probably know one or two of them but I'll be surprised if you know them all.

I've tried to select those who I love for their talent and their beauty but who have often appeared only in supporting roles or lesser known movies.

When you look at some of them you may think they look familiar - but you just can't place them. I'm here to help you do that!
