Thought of another:
Jessica Biel in Seventh Heaven.
Will Friedle and Rider Strong on Boy Meets World. Ohh, I was in my bunk for a long time in the 90s.
What is the appeal of Michelle Trachtenberg? I always hear people talk about how hot she is, but I don’t see it at ALL. She looks like if you touched her she would be cold and clammy, and that her breath stinks. The fact that I detested her so much on Buffy certainly doesn’t help my opinion of her.
Oh, Rider Strong and Leo DiCaprio back in the day, I thought they were both sooo hot. Also What’s her name that is married to Ben Stiller, Christine Taylor. I thought she was so gorgeous on “Hey Dude”, and I think that hot chick from 30 Rock is the spitting image of her.
Will Friedle, oh, yeah. Not quite so much toward the end when his hair got all floppy, but when he was younger, yeah. Rider Strong didn’t do it for me, though.
Fred Savage was good-looking as a young teen. Not so much nowadays (I mean, he’s fine and all, but not nearly as striking as he was as a child).
I liked him, floppy hair and all–the only time I didn’t was when he started putting on weight towards the end of the college years.
A. This thread is about “prettiest,” not “hottest.” “Hot,” for most people I know, is a different scale.
B. Are you even talking about the same girl the rest of us are? ‘Cause she’s smokin’ hot. 
I misunderstood the OP & didn’t realize I was supposed to admit having the hots for actual jail bait.
Unless this is a really creepy thread, I presume it’s about teens who you liked when you were also that age or thereabouts.
Eh? How can someone look like “her breath stinks”, unless they have obviously bad teeth? Which judging by the picture linked KneadToKnow linked, she does not.
I’m thinking :p.
She’s a pretty girl ( like the overwhelming majority of actresses, really ). I don’t think she’s a stunner, but different tastes and all that.
The OP asks for teens that are pretty. Can’t a fella think a teen is pretty w/o being accused of having the hots for jail bait?
Or, the show aired so long ago that the teen in question is now 50-something. (see Tuesday Weld, who, in my opinion is hands down the winner of this thread.)
She was also only 19 when Dark Angel started.
She’s 65, actually. And lost her virginity at 11. She probably had dozens of lovers before she turned 18, almost all of them over 18. She thought boys her age were too immature, and compared to the life she led she was certainly right, even in Hollywood.
But, gosh, let’s not think that teens in real life have ever had sex.
Let’s instead imagine ourselves in a world where you can’t even mention a pretty teenager without spinning a sex fantasy. :smack:
Bridget Burke. Jailbait? Really?
Anybody mention the oldest daughter on Big Love? I don’t know her name but thought she was very pretty. I think the youngest wife was supposed to be late teens and was also very attractive.
Amanda Seyfried was 21 when the show started in 2006.
Ginnifer Goodwin was 29 when the show started.
But both are damn cute.
She was a cute teen, but Josie Davis grew into a smokin’ hot woman. Her stint on Two and Half Men still makes me go Yowza!
Justine Bateman was a teen on Family Ties. I don’t think she’s been mentioned as yet.
ETA: Yes, she has.
Sorry, too lazy to look it up.
Uh… I can’t imagine Osemnt in the “handsomest” category. “Talented” you betcha, but when I think of a teenaged Osment “gawky and awkward-looking” come t mind.
Hey, those Harry Potter kids ended up OK. Hermione is especially pretty.
I saw him on Broadway last fall and he looked pretty smoking to me.
Speaking of smoking it up on Bway, Mr. Radcliffe is also not unattractive.
I don’t know her name, but the young woman who played the protagonist’s girlfriend on Boy Meets World was quite comely in a not-exactly-conventional way. Likewise, the young woman who played Six on Blossom, while nothing special then, was quite the cutie when she was on The Parkers.
