Bad casting. Judy Garland looks nothing like her on-screen family.

You're welcome. Nice to see someone who knows how to use Google.

Your welcome, I started using Bing about three years ago instead of Google. I do believe we are witnessing a situation in our culture where a brand name has become so ingrained in our language that it became the definition for the action. It is more convenient to say Google than to say check for information on the internet so Google is now a verb. TY

I learned a lot of stuff in school, but that doesn't mean I still remember all of it decades later!

Ever hear of recessive and dominant genes?
I'm short, heavyset, dark haired, with deep green eyes.
My brother is tall, lean, pale, with rust-red hair and light blue eyes.
Guess we couldn't cast him as my brother, huh?

I take it that, the three oldest kids, Rose, Lon, and Esther, with the red hair, take after their mother, and the two youngest, brunettes, take after their father.

Judy Garland's natural hair color was dark red (auburn). So red-haired people obviously can have brown eyes.

I always thought Auburn was her natural hue but according to Judy herself, her natural hair was very straight and Black/dark brown, when she was cast as Dorothy in the wizard of oz they had her wear a long blonde curly wig, Judy loved it so much she wanted to wear it it to school - MGM's wardrobe department didn't let her (the wig wasn't used in the final film, they dyed her hair auburn and put it in braids instead)

The wig department at MGM was huge. They used handmade human hair wigs that were glued to the actors faces if there were not bangs. They also used a lot of hair pieces, falls and extensions. Probably the only actor in this movie who was not wearing some sort of hair appliance was Margaret O'Brien.
That's Hollywood !

The combination of brown eyes and red hair is unusual but a month or so back I saw a little girl with light red hair and brown eyes so it is genetically possible. Judy has been told by MGM so many times that she wasn't attractive that she lacked confidence for her role in "Meet me in St Louis". At 21 she thought that she couldn't play a 17 year old!
