> [@Face\_Intentionally\_Left\_Blank](#): > > Tough. I seldom have celebrity crushes. Scarlett Johansson is an exception for me, but she far too young. I had to go back aways to find a crush from my younger days, but though she’s older, she’s within the OP’s age limit. > > Lea Thompson! > > Frankly, I can’t believe she’s still on the board this late in the draft. Sexy, cute AND beautiful. Not many woman are all three. Funny, too. Ooh, good call! I still remember _Caroline In The City_ fondly. Still, she’s two years out of my range, so I leave her to you. Which is fine, because it leaves me with the stunning [Julianna](https://pics.wikifeet.com/Julianna-Margulies-Feet-1735748.jpg) [Margulies](https://speakerdata2.s3.amazonaws.com/photo/image/853949/julianna-margulies-5.jpg), for whom I’ve held a torch since her days on _E.R._ She has [Resting Somber Face](http://wwwimage1.cbsstatic.com/base/files/cast/good_wife_cast_juliannamargulies.jpg), but when she smiles, it’s as if the director just put a spot on her. And when [breaks out the sexy](https://pics.wikifeet.com/Julianna-Margulies-Feet-1384018.jpg), well day-um! My toes curl. Only slightly behind her is a different sort of beauty, the competent woman-next-door-who’s-seen-some-tough-times but-can-be-slighty-goofy type: [Maura Tierney.](https://static01.nyt.com/images/2016/07/15/arts/emmy-tierney/emmy-tierney-master768.jpg) It’s real, too, as she’s battled breast cancer. ---

Dr. Harold Bornstein’s age is unknown, so I guess I’m grasping at straws, there. No B.I.A.S. (Sammy Maudlin), I could use a nice reposing in the rumble seat of a Model A Roadster in my pinstripe suit with a Cuban cigar and Julianne Moore (four years older, all fluffed up between _Boogie Nights_ takes) under my right arm and Sherilyn Fenn (year younger, from, say, the ridiculously barbaric _Boxing Helena_…well - before her character loses both her legs in a gratuitous car accident…like - twelve minutes into the film) under my left. And Salma Hayek (two years my junior, off the _Desperado_ set) on my lap. ---

Forgot to add - not the most internationally renowned celebrity (and also a disheartening nine years my senior) - a local newscaster (well, across the Georgia Strait from me:() named Pamela Martin, who was previously a beauty pageant winner, and still looks as attractive as she did 40 friggin years ago. ---

Well, a few of my choices have been selected already but not exclusively. I’m 46, so within 5 years of that gives me a range of 41-51. Fist choice : Salma Hayek, age 50. 2nd choice : Eva Mendes, age 43 3rd choice : Tiffani Theissen age 43 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-is-your-age-aproptiate-celebrtity-crush/790987.md?page=5) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-is-your-age-aproptiate-celebrtity-crush/790987.md?page=7)
