For better or worse, blondes have more fun; actress and cancer survivor Christina Applegate is one of the consistently bright spots in the blonde ranks. After her double mastectomy surgeries earlier this year, the actress has revealed that she is finally ready to hug again.

The blondes in this cluster aren’t all as brave as Christina Applegate, but they’re every bit as recognizable. We have representatives from all industries in this cluster. Hillary Clinton holds it down for politics, Ivanka and proud papa Donald Trump represent business, David and Phillipe Blond cover fashion, and a series of artistic tributes of blondes represent the fine arts.

As you might expect, the blonde celebrity category is stacked. There’s Christina Applegate, Paris Hilton, Pamela Anderson, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Lindsay Lohan, and Jessica Simpson. While not all of these A-listers were necessarily born blondes, they sure were when we captured these photos!

Here’s hoping for a speedy, complete and safe healing period for Christina Applegate, both inside and out, so that she can enjoy the benefits of being blonde all the sooner.
