These are people that you have a secret, strange, unexplicable crush on, but you could never admit it to your friends. Celebrities that in the darkest recesses of you mind, in places you don’t talk about at dinner parties, you imagine yourself getting down and dirty with.
These celebrities must not be the common, popular choices such as J-Lo or Halle Berry (these kind of picks can go without saying). These are the strange, unusual, unpopular choices. Come here and confess all, including, if appropriate, the TV show or movie in which you saw them. Trust me, you will feel like your soul has been cleansed!
My list:
That squeeky woman from Will & Grace
Professor Albright from 3rd Rock
Annabella Sciorra in Jungle Fever
Sally Field in Mrs Doubtfire
Annette Bening in American Beauty
Mrs Crabapple from The Simpsons
Should I be seeking professional help? What do you think?

Willem Dafoe - There is a scary, dangerous, sexiness about him. I noticed this about him the first time I saw Platoon, after that it was just a matter of the right roles.
See also, Wild at Heart and White Sands.

John Malkovich - not sure why, except he was pretty sexy in Dangerous Liaisons
Ed Harris
The Rock (but I am not a wrestling fan at all)

Michelle Pfeiffer, but only when she wears the Catwoman costume.

Yes, yes and yes again. Cute button nose. Lovely dark hair. Petite. Sexy voice. I Know she’s much older (I tend to go for older women anyway), but there’s just something about her that get’s my motor running. Can’t explain it any better than that, really!

Jennifer Warnes singing backup in the black-and-white Roy Orbison concert they run on PBS.
Geraldine Somerville (_Gosford Park_ and a few other places, even shows up very briefly as Lily in the first Harry Potter movie.)
Carole Lombard in _My Man Godfrey_ (the 1936 version), it doesn’t hurt that she has the funniest closing line in movie history.
Victoria Tennant in _L.A. Story_, when she looks across the table at Steve Martin and says “I keep thinking I’m a grown up, but I’m not.”
There might be others, too. Let me think about it.

I never understood what attracted Julia Roberts to him. Seriously, is it the long face? I don’t get it. 🙂
**Murcielago** : Michelle Pfeiffer doesn’t count! No red-blooded hetro male could resist her. She is sexiness personified.
**John Carter of Mars** : I’m with you a little on that one. But then I think about what has been there before you. Uh-oh!
**Stephi** : You are not alone. Lots of women seem to find Alan Rickman sexy. I don’t think he counts really, as he is so popular with the ladies anyway.

Just thought of another one:
Ricki Lake (dark hair, the assertive attitude… she’s definately got something)
