Redheads with pale eyelashes and freckles are like different people. ---

How about Jacqueline Lee Bouvier Kennedy Onassis, I mean back in the day in this life she was not an unusual crush, but now? The former First Lady has been deceased for nearly quarter of a century and I am only 31. It’s pretty unusual today. And no necrophilia is not my thing. ---

When _Perry Mason_ first aired, I was a very small child, but lately I’ve been watching the reruns every night on basic cable and I’m surprised to find I’m developing quite a crush on Della Street (Barbara Hale). What a babe! ---

He plays likable (or at least funny) characters in the movies, so I feel happy when I see his face. And he’s apparently a great guy in real life as well. What’s not to like? Came in here to give this very answer. These days, he’s a bit…quirky looking…but back in the '80s (circa Parting Glances), dude was HOT. ---

I remembered another candidate for the thread just now. At the beginning of _Goldeneye_, James Bond is driving his Aston Martin on the outskirts of Monaco with a woman riding shotgun. We learn that she was sent by M to evaluate Bond. A Ferrari shows up, driven by Xenia Onatopp (Famke Janssen), and they flirtatiously race down the mountain road. Was I the only one who thought Bond’s evaluator, [Caroline](https://www.google.com/search?q=serena+gordon&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjJzMbyjMXaAhUkhOAKHby7AaUQ_AUICigB&biw=1632&bih=915#imgdii=J9GSVi6KRhjcFM:&imgrc=keEQJhh285ZrJM:), was the cute one in this scene? Yes, I know, any woman in a Bond film is going to be crushworthy almost by definition. But she is clearly supposed to be the second banana in this scene. Bond is going after Xenia and ignores Caroline, who’s clearly supposed to be a stick-in-the-mud type. She doesn’t even get a suggestive name. The actress’s name is Serena Gordon. I don’t think I’ve seen her in anything else. ---

To expand on that, I was married to a woman smarter than nearly anybody on this board for forty years. I’m getting old and slow and the dumbest woman on Brit TV (whom I’ve encountered) is about my speed these days. Morgan is bright. Cunk ain’t. > [@](#): > > The show is funny. “Iron man didn’t have superpowers–like the ability to fly or tolerate Gwyneth Paltrow”. “Before the invention of roads the only way to travel was to stand at the edge of your village and jump” Paltrow’s mom is still hotter. And probably more tolerable. ---

No need to apologize. The whole thing was intended as a joke. I left out too many emojis and you took me seriously. No probs. Folks often take me seriously though I’m very rarely serious, and it’s even easier to be deadpan online… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/uncommon-celebrity-crushes/794551.md?page=6)
