Emma, Lady Hamilton George Romney, 1785 Branded as witches, lumped in with Judas and slandered as volatile or promiscuous, redheads have a lot to live down. But that didn't stop Emma Hamilton (aka Amy Lyon, under-nursemaid), whose hair only inflamed the desire of great men. Romney produced 28 besotted portraits of her; she first sat for him as Charles Greville's teenage mistress. Next she married Greville's uncle, Sir William Hamilton.
