Diana Rigg for sure but didn’t anyone fall for the bountiful charms of her ‘Avengers’ successor whose name (I think) was Linda Thornton ? Her ample talents filled my horizon. As hormonal adolescence dawned, I also found a special place for Barberella. Always imagined I’d end up with Tess of the D’Urbervilles - something appears to have gone horribly wrong. ---

Man, I can’t believe there has only been one mention of Daisy Duke! And Jan was the hottie, not Marsha, you fools. I always had a bit of a thang for the blonde in “The Fall Guy”. Howzabout Marlo Thomas as “That Girl”? Damn you Phil Donahue! And as a youngster, I really thought Diahann (sp?) Carroll was IT as Julia. ---

Meredith Baxter! I’ve considered her to be incredibly attractive from “Bridgette loves Birney” through “Family Ties” and even in her last TV series, “The Faculty”. ---

I have a serious thing about westerns. Used to watch shows that were “oldies”, even when I was a kid. (I’m old, but not _that_ old!) So… Pernell Roberts (“Adam”) and Micheal Landon (“Little Joe”) from **"Bonanza"** Robert Horton (“Flint”) from **“Wagon Train”**. Also, Robert Fuller (don’t remember character’s name) from “Wagon Train” when it went to color. Lee Majors (“Heath”) and Peter Breck (“Nick”) from **"The Big Valley"** Pete Duel and Ben Murphy from **“Alias Smith and Jones”** (as Smith and Jones) I also thought Burt Ward (“Robin”) from **“Batman and Robin”** was cute. ---

I always liked Batgirl and of course Mary ann on Gilligan’s Island. Not to mention the chick on Battlestar Gallactica, From IMDB I guess her name was Maren Jensen, but since I can’t find a picture I’m not sure.
