Where \"The Boyfriends\" focused on the romantic mishaps of clueless young men, \"Blondes and Redheads\" followed the adventures of two sexy working girls trying to make their way in the big city. RKO hired Roach director George Stevens to helm the series. The \"Blonde\" in all 11 shorts was Carol Tevis, while the \"Redhead\" was initially June Brewster. After 6 shorts, she was replaced by Dorothy Granger, who had been a \"Boyfriends\" regular. Tevis and Brewster also appeared together in \u003ci\u003eFlying Down to Rio\u003c\/i\u003e (1933). The series ended in 1935, when Stevens started making features.
