Barbara Eden (“I Dream of Jeannie”)
Barbara Feldon (“Get Smart”)
Elizabeth Montgomey (“Bewitched”)
Connie Booth (“Fawlty Towers”)
Carol Cleveland (“Monty Python’s Flying Circus”)
All in re-runs, of course.
Ditto!
Wow, I opened this thread thinking, “I wonder who FairChatMom had a crush on? Hope she’s posted something.”
And, somehow, I wasn’t even very surprised that you named the same person I would have named!
Um, why?
For me, it would be Colonel Wilma Deering. In a form-fitting jumpsuit.
Cloning.
Daphine from Scooby Doo.
To this day she’s the sole reason I have a thing for redheads.
OK…I’m not being 100% truthful…that redhead my sophomore year who could suck the chrome…HEY…what am I typing?..you get the picture.
Sarah Sutton, as Nyssa.
I even got her autograph at a con back in the early '80, and she touched my hand at one point. From that moment on, I knew what lust was.
Yes, I was a serious geek in 6th grade…
[sub]I met Anthony Ainley there too. Nice guy.[/sub]
Dooku
It’s about time someone mentioned Julie Newmar as Catwoman. (She was also lovely as the robot AF709 in “My Living Doll”).
I’m surprised no one has mentioned Anne Francis the delicious detective on the show “Honey West”.
And I’ll agree with the great many people who also had a crush on Diana Rigg and Barbara Feldon. mmmmmmmmmmmm
Well, when I was really little I had this thing for Annette Funicello. Seriously.
Jeeze, I think I had a crush on every guy mentioned in this thread. I was just a sad, sad little girl.
Thought of another, more obscure one - Michael Nouri from the Cliffhanger series where he was a vampire.
(I would like to say I “had” a crush on Mr. Spock, but when I watch those old reruns, it ain’t a past tense. He was and is the coolest being alive.)
Your list is scarily similar to mine. (I agree with Bailey, too…and several of the TCDToT girls were NIFTY - I was also terribly fond of one of the fellows…)
Albiet shorter.
Just expanding on Robotech…
Lisa. All three Bridge Bunnies. Minmei. Max, Mirya and Dana Sterling. Breetai. (He’s an odd man out on the list…) Annie. Lancer/Yellow Dancer.
And, reliving it now, through novels and DVDs, everyone but Minmei and Dana are holding on. (Yes…even Annie… ::Hangs head:: )
Daphne from Scooby Doo
Bailey Quarters
Daisy Duke
Maryann
The older sister on Good Times is absolutely #1
Mary Tyler Moore and Elizabeth Montgomery.
I forgot Michaela Strachan.
early memories:
Maria from Sesame Street.
Rita Moreno from The Electric Company. I think she’s the reason I’m a leg man. I remember staring at them quite often.
Bailey from WKRP. I even developed a crush on a girl in second grade with glasses and the same color hair who reminded me of her. Then the girl moved to Texas in the middle of the year, I was heartbroken.
Lynda Carter/Wonder Woman. I remember being aware that she was very curvy and how this was a good thing (or rather things), and getting excited when she did the spin to change into her costume.
Melaine Chartoff from Fridays.
pre-teen and early teen years:
Martha Quinn (although looking back Nina Blackwood was way hotter)
Marisol from Remote Control (I love dark hair)
Both Julie Browns on MTV. “Downtown” was hotter overall, but “comedy” Julie Brown had the cleavage. I blame all of the MTV babes, except for Martha, for my fetish for babes in 80s fashions like Body Glove spandex dresses, day-glo colored leather/vinyl, etc. Club MTV was like soft core porn for me.
Leela, Peri, and Nyssa from Dr. Who. Although I’m a Sarah Jane Smith fan now.
Joan Collins on Dynasty. This show was also major fix for the fine art of the catfight.
Teen years:
Nicole Eggert from Charles In Charge. Later shifted to Josie Davis as she matured.
Jesse from Saved By The Bell.
Heather Langencamp and Jamie Lunier from Just The Ten Of Us.
Maria from Head Of The Class. Probably explains why I’m drawn to headcases and drama queens in real life.
Some VJ girl from Z Music (Christian style MTV clone) that looked like a prettier version of Moon Unit Zappa to me.
Nobody I know remembers this show existed. I was eleven. I wore the same kind of braces on my teeth! She was no doubt my first TV crush.
Somewhat later, Jan Brady, Joanie Cunningham, Mallory Keaton
Oh, I forgot about her. :smack:
I’ve been trying to remember the actors’ names the whole time I was reading this thread, but I’ve come up blank, so forgive me for just using the characters’ names:
I was in love with Artemis Gordon and James West from Wild, Wild West.
And DeForest Kelly (Dr. McCoy from Star Trek).
I was also somewhat taken by Robert Blake in Baretta, and Mickey Dolenz was my favorite Monkey.
But I didn’t really fall in love until I read The Lord of the Rings–then Strider took my heart, and thirty years later, thanks in part to Viggo Mortenson, he still has a part of it. <sigh>
Another child of the 80’s here. My big crush was on Ari Meyers, who played the brunette daughter on Kate & Allie. Believe me, she was the only reason I watched Kate & Allie as a 14-year old boy, I can tell you that. Looking at her IMdB page, I see the last thing she did was a voice-over on Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3. Kinda sad, but hey, it’s work. I think I heard that’s how she makes her living these days; mostly doing books-on-tape and other voice-overs. I’ve played THPS3 a gabillion times and had no idea she was one of the voices.
Okay:
I’ll admit that from the mid to late sixties until the mid to late 70’s I had several TV lustings (That aren’t much different from those listed):
Barbara Eden
Lynda Carter
Elizabeth Montgomery
Jan Smithers
Maria (from Sesame Street – teach me, Maria, teach me)
Joy ( The Bugaloos )
Lara Parker (Angelique on Dark Shadows)
Katherine Lee Scott (Maggie on Dark Shadows)
Kate Jackson (Daphne Herrige on Dark Shadows and later Charlie’s Angel)
Susan Dey (Laurie Partridge)
Dawn Welles (Mary Ann)
Yvonne DeCarlo (Batgirl, but she was all woman to me)
Julie Newmar (who put the Supifying into Stupifying Jones before she was Catwoman)
Mary Tyler Moore (as Lara Petrie – oo–oh Rooo-oo–ob!)
Plus Terri Garr (who caught my eye as an extra on Sonny and Cher)
And in the I bought Skippy Penut Butter just because she said so department: Annette Funicello
