As the Murdoch empire goes up in flames—one image ingrained in our minds is the mug of Rebekah Brooks, former editor of News of the World and CEO of News International who will testify alongside Rupert and James Murdoch in London on Tuesday in connection with the newspaper’s phone-hacking scandal. Her image memorable for one reason: that shock of wild red hair. She may be the latest casualty of the massive implosion—but to many, Brooks is reminiscent of another redhead: Olympic gold medal-winning snowboarder Shaun White. On Monday, Italian Vogue took Brooks’ moment in the spotlight as an opportunity to revisit famous redheads in history. From Tilda Swinton to Anne Boleyn, see pictures from Italian Vogue.
