Barbara Eden’s bodacious ta-tas, and the anticipation that her navel might one day peek out.
I have a couple of crushes. One is Maggie Cheung. Can’t point to a particular point that started it, but she is something else.
And for my younger crush: Ziyi Zhang. Miss Zhang is an amazing actress. In my opinion one of the best working right now. She can convey so much with a turn of the head, or a shift in that dancer’s body, or a flash of her eyes. Who can forget the seething raw power of her scenes in “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,” her vindictiveness in “Hero,” her transcendence in the echo game scene in “House of Flying Daggers,” her naïve cuteness in “The Road Home”? How many other actresses have such range, can command a scene like she can? If I had to sum it up in one word, it would be exquisite.
Am I smitten? Oh, yes.
b Donna Reed and Shelly Fabres at the same time. They played mother and daughter on Donna Reed show and I wanted them both.
Then Jane Mansfield. Probably for different reasons.
Zooey Deschanel, when she appeared on Hitchhiker’s Guide with that incredibly cute white outfit with the exaggerated bell bottoms.
You guys are going to think I’m freaking nuts.
My first major celebrity crush, when I was about 7, was on Bill Murray when I saw him in Ghostbusters. Because he played someone funny and intelligent (had a Ph.D IIRC) and his stolid reaction to Dana becoming possessed by an ancient god was absolutely hilarious. I absolutely love his personality, even when he’s being a complete jackass.
My second major celebrity crush, which endured all through high school, was… Nicholas Cage. I saw him in The Rock, and I loved the nervous, quirky energy he brought to the story… when he found out he had to go with Sean Connery’s character to infiltrate the prison, he threw up. This is not really one’s typical imagining of an action movie hero. He usually gets the snot kicked out of him in every action movie he’s in, and I love the sense one has that he is not invincible or terribly out of the ordinary. He’s still one of my favorite actors, but I think I’m letting go of the ‘‘oooh dreamy Nicholas Cage’’ mentality.
Hugh Laurie. Anyone who can play any role (slapstick British comedy/Dr. House) is a published author, can play music and has not-so-obvious fantastic looks (OH THOSE EYES!) is going to have me drooling!
I was sixteen or seventeen years old, when I came across a TV-show with a cute guy. He had ridiculously exxagarated tousled dark hair, smeared red lipstick and equally smeared black eyeliner. He sang a song called " Caterpillar" (Youtube link). His clothes, hair, make-up, posture, the song’s lyrics, and the flashing looks with which he flirts with the camera were all so cheerfully, playfully, ironically, theatrically, dreamily, shamelessly, intelligently whiny and silly I felt instant recognition. 
My crush with Robert Smith, singer of the Cure, lasted over five years.
My I-might-turn-lesbian-for-her crush, on the other hand, with Helena Cristiansen, never lasts longer then the time it takes to see the video " Wicked Game" where she plays Chris Isaaks love interest. I think she comes across as a bitch in that video, the way she totally ignores poor Chris, but man is she jaw-droppingly sexy.
I went looking for my own celebrity crush thread to post this post in it, but I found this one which is newer so I’m posting here instead.
A few days ago there was a post ‘weirdest celebrity crush’ on another MB… People were pretty much posting regardless of weirdness (i.e. they were simply posting their celebrity crush)
It was seeing that thread that, for some reaosn, reminded me of the one I’d forgotten to mention in my own thread here.
And that’s weird because it’s quite possibly my biggest celebrity crush of all time. I was sixteen, she was around seventeen or eighteen.
Shannon Miller.
What sparked it was watching the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. I had the biggest crush on her!!
Kind of pleasant to be reminded of those feelings
Not my first, but the biggest was when a 18 year old me saw the 1989 007 movie Licence to Kill Carey Lowell blew my mind.

Richard Gere is a lucky man.
She still looks great.

It wasn’t really a crush, but . . . Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia. Yow.
Kathleen Turner.
Also, Fiona Ritchie, of The Thistle and Shamrock. That voice. Yow redux.

Like many women my age, I had a huuuuge crush on **John Taylor of Duran Duran ** and BAD! Like ‘I-wanted-to-have-his-babies-at-age-13’ bad. When I saw him in the “Hungry Like the Wolf” video, with his bedroom eyes and touselled hair, I was hooked.
He’s aged extremely well. I find him more attractive now than he was then, although my 13 year old self probably wouldn’t have thought so.
Jessica Alba crouch/cat-walked her Dark Angel bottom into my brain, and it has remained there since.
Growing up in the '50’s, deeply closeted, but these boys got my attention -
“Bud” (Billy Gray) in Father Knows Best - those T-shirts!
“Luke” (Johnny Crawford) in The Rifleman - those eyes! that face!
and, to a lesser extent
“Jeff” (Paul Peterson) on the Donna Reed Show - cute smile and other parts.
Roddy
I have had many celebrity crushes over the last forty years or so. Usually some captivating lady will steal my heart and cloud my thoughts for a year or so, then suddenly fade away when some new lady catches my attention. These are not thoughts of lust, so much, as a desire to just gaze upon their beauty and wish for their attention. Truly a “crush”.
Funny how my early crushes were much older than myself, and now they become so much younger.
But my most enduring crush has lasted for several years now and continues unabated. Something inside me finds the alluring Alyson Hannigan to be the most captivating of creatures. See had me the first time I ever saw her smile.
I don’t see this affliction ending anytime soon.
Want to hear sick. I wanted to do Donna Reed and Shelly Fabares who played her daughter on the same show.
I worked with actress Deborah Raffin for a couple of years, and had a mad crush on her.
Too bad she was married to the boss…
I didn’t know much about Mary-Louise Parker until I saw Grand Canyon, but have had the hots for her since then.
Winona Ryder, but I can’t remember when I first saw her. Why the hell else would a 10 year old boy want to watch Mermaids. After that it was Angelina Jolie in Hackers (So hot). Then Milla Jovovich in The Fifth Element… I’ve got peculiar tastes.
