I was watching _I love the 90s: 1993_ and they did a little piece on the Power Rangers. Seeing old clips reminded me of my first crush. Amy Jo Johnson A.K.A. the original Pink Ranger. There was something about her that I adored. I was in the first grade and I wanted her. Who was your first celebrity crush? ---

The first that I can remember - Shannon Miller (Gymnast - Magnificent 7) I am sure there were earlier crushes, I just can’t remember them. ---

Oh, I had a crush on Amy Jo Johnson, too. But earlier than that I had a crush on Elizabeth Montgomery from Bewitched. The next major one after that was Jennifer Aniston when that Rolling Stone magazine spread of hers came out. It was the centerpiece of a friend’s birthday party. The most significant celebrity crush of my youth, though, was Neve Campbell since Party of Five came on the air. I still appreciate her work with an extra fondness, and I really loved The Company. ---

Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. I must have been 5 or 6, since this was around 1984. She started my obsessions with Goth girls and cleavage that I have to this day! ---

I saw _Star Wars_ for the first time when I was six years old. From then on I grew up knowing that I wanted to be Han Solo. It was only later that I realized that it wasn’t to _be_, it was to _do_. Before that, it was Jodie Foster from _Candleshoe_. I was about 4 or 5, and it’s the first movie I ever saw in a theater. ---

I totally forgot about _Escape to Witch Mountain!_ I watched that movie non-stop when I was little, and I thought she was just dreamy.

There were a few minor one before her but I when I saw [Carey Lowell](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000508/) in \*Licence to Kill \* I couldn’t take my eyes off her. She was so beautiful and sassy. It’s never left me either. She still blows me away. ---

Richard Chamberlain as _Dr. Kildare_. I am amazed that I didn’t turn out to be a hypochondriac, since I spent so much time daydreaming about what injury or disease I would get that would put me in his arms. sigh… ---

Jennifer Connelly, when she was in Labyrinth. I don’t think she’s that much older than me actually. Oh, IMDB says she was 16 in that, and I was 9. Nevermind. I still like her now. ---

I was ahead of my time as a child, because I was IN LOVE with Johnny Depp when he was on 21 Jump Street. :sigh: Michael J. Fox was another crush of mine. I must have watched Teen Wolf and Back to the Future every weekend when I was a kid. ---

My first crush that I remember (I was 7) was Lindsay Wagner. The crush hit me when she guest-starred on the Six Million Dollar Man. I fell in love with her during the episode, which ended with her character’s death. I was so devastated by this that I was crying all night. Later the character was spun off as the Bionic Woman, but it was too late. The damage had been done. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/your-first-celebrity-crush/255032.md?page=2)
