It’s interesting to see everyone’s different preferences. Some are completely unattractive to me, but obviously very much so for others! Mine is probably in that same category… [Jen Widerstrom](https://www.google.com/search?q=jen+widerstrom&rlz=1C9BKJA_enUS706US709&hl=en-US&prmd=ivn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwie1o7Wj7vPAhVEOSYKHfzsCXAQ_AUIBygB&biw=1024&bih=653&dpr=2), fitness trainer and former American Gladiator.

Molly Ephraim (Mandy Baxter on “Last Man Standing”) comes closest to being my crush. Every time I see the show I think “holy crap that girl is gorgeous.” No real desire, but really like her look on the show. ---

**Rachael Price** of the band **Lake Street Dive** : [Lake street Dive . Live in Paris ..New Morning - YouTube](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VNgnjNiS4Bk) Scarlett Johansson channeling Bonnie Raitt. She just owns her presence and voice, and I find that…compelling. And she only bops in place during non-vocal bits in that link, but when a song’s groove is more sultry, man she inhabits that groove well. ---

Lately I’ve been diggin’ (MS)NBC’s [Hallie Jackson](https://goo.gl/images/VnegzI). Not to worry, my wife knows all about it. Yes, I get turned on by the TV. And vice-versa (_thanks, Ian A.!_) ---

That kind of brassy, buxom, confident, talented womanhood reminds me of Shirley Jones circa 1955. ---

In the spirit of mentioning some lesser-known names, French actress [Emmanuelle Béart](http://s3.amazonaws.com/auteurs_production/images/cast_member/4579/original.jpg). Unfortunately, she has not aged gracefully - a well-documented plastic surgery disaster. If she keeps it up, she might be in my league in ten years or so. And here’s Letterman’s crush, a captivating 25-year-old Uma Thurman. At around two minutes, “What’s the oldest man you’ve ever gone out with? You’re 25. Ever been out with a guy of 30? [Yes] 35? [Yes] 48…?” [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwpG-eSTHaU) ---

I have almost zero knowledge of hip hop music or more than minimal knowledge of what she even does but I am entranced by Amber Rose.

Unfortunately, she has not aged gracefully - a well-documented plastic surgery disaster. If she keeps it up, she might be in my league in ten years or so. What’s funny is I was about to strenuously disagree with you, saying I _just_ saw her in **Mission Impossible** - then realized that was 20 years ago, in 1996. I had no idea Cruise had run the franchise that long… ---

I don’t even know anymore… Alan Rickman was my celebrity crush since I was 19, and I first saw him on the big screen in Die Hard. He was so gracious and kind when I met him a couple of years ago. I guess I just haven’t found anyone else since he passed away earlier this year. I’m not ready to move on yet. ---

He’s definitely not my type, but I have to say, Rickman made an amazingly good Ronald Reagan in _The Butler_. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-is-your-celebrity-crush/767142.md?page=4) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-is-your-celebrity-crush/767142.md?page=6)
