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

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!
