Your first celebrity crush . . . then and now

I think my first “celebrity” (if you could have called her that back then) crush was Mellisa Joan Hart when she was on “Clarissa Explains it All” on Nickelodeon.

I was probably 10 or 11, and according to IMDB, she was 15 or 16 at the time.

She’s still looking pretty good, which makes sense since she’s only in her mid-30’s.

Angela Cartwright. I was like 8 years old and she was a Goddess!

Now, I aint so sure :slight_smile:

The little girl in the Witch Mountain films (hey, I was seven years old) grew up to be Paris Hilton’s aunt. Weird, man!

Kim Richards, she was a crush for me as well.

Yummy, Monte Markham.

Barry Manilow then

and now

I’ve been in love with Barry since about 1974. My husband says he looks like Topo Gigio now, but I don’t care. throws panties

Matt Dillon

then

Now

I still think he’s delightful.

Would have either been James Mason or Christopher Lee. Both stayed remarkably attractive - Lee still, and Mason right up to his death. It’s the voices and the dark, slightly cruel eyes.

Can’t remember if I first crushed on Cindy Brady or Kimberly Drummond.

But the lastest on Cindy? Ain’t so much my type. The Drummond girl just ended up a hot mess.

She’s aged better than most - more attractive now than when she was young.

As a kid, probably Ann Margaret. Sex kitten then, not bad now.

Phoebe Cates then.

And now (well, in 2010 - she’s just not out much these days).

Still looks good to me.

Well my first crush (Anthony Perkins) was on someone who at the time was already dead, so I doubt that would count.

But after him was Billy Campbell from “The Rocketeer”.

Now

Still looking fine.

Gene Wilder, in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

Now(2007)

He’s still got the same twinkle in his eyes!

I agree, that is a beautiful man. :slight_smile:

I remember crushing on this guy when I was a wee little one. I don’t know why. He doesn’t seem my type at all. I think he looks much better now.

That second one is not Cheryl Ladd. Is that her daughter?

I had the hots for Jay North’s sidekick in Maya: Sajid Khan. Today, not so much, but then I’m not as cute as I was in the 60s either. :wink:
