Your first celebrity crush

Luke Duke. Not Bo, just Luke. I’m a little bit embarrassed to admit this now, but there it is.

Actually I’ve gone most of my 36 years without ever having a celebrity crush. In fact, the whole idea seemed kind of alien to me. I just didn’t get it. Then, I watched the first Horatio Hornblower movie… and now, I Get It. I dunno why, but something about Ioan Gruffudd just makes my heart beat a bit faster. I think he’s gorgeous.

Cricket

Jennifer Love Hewitt.

I had a thing for her way back when she was on Kids Incorporated. This was when I was an unincorporated kid of course. :wink: I thought she was the greatest thing that I had ever seen. Still do.

Never had one, actually.

I like the perfomances, but I was never into the whole Celebrity-Worship thing.

Shaun Cassidy. :smiley:

Cynthia Gibb.

From the first time they were on the Sullivan show, I had such a thing for John Lennon. I’ve always been able to spot real talent.

The first time I saw the 1955 movie “Rebel Without a Cause” I was 12 years old. If Natalie Wood had kissed me the way she kissed James Dean I would have willingly died on the spot as One Happy Boy!

Annette Funicello from the Mousketeers.

Gad! Am I really that old???

IIRC, Lisa Dean Ryan from Doogie Howser :smiley:

(Followed fairly soon by Jennie Garth in the early years of 90210… and more than twelve years later she’s still quite the babe. :slight_smile: )

Penelope Pitstop

Emma Peel in a leather jumpsuit. Grrrrrrwwllll.

I was a bit deviant even as a toddler.

Chalk another one up for Shaun Cassidy. <sigh>

Mark Hamill. To this day, I would totally do Luke Skywalker. I spent a few years wishing I was Princess Leia, then RotJ came out and I changed my mind about wanting to be her. :slight_smile:

Well, when I was a wee thing, I had a serious thing for Speed Racer. :o

If you’re talking about actual, you know, humans, it would probably be David Cassidy. The way he sang the word “you” like it was “ewe” made my heart flutter.

When I was ten I had a little thing for Ricky Schroeder. At 15, it was Johnny Depp in 21 Jump Street. (Alias obviously has excellent taste…)

As a very young girl it was Jackson-5 era Michael Jackson. Man, he had the moves, he could sing. Wow. Donnie Osmond wasn’t good enough to comb out Michael’s afro. :wink: After MJ it was Cat Stevens. Sexy, dreamy eyes.

How in the hell can I be the first person to say Madonna?? We’re talking circa 1984 or so, the “Like a Virgin” era. Oh, how my 11 year old heart would flutter.

Also, Alyssa Milano when she was in “Who’s the boss?”. Seeing as how she dried up, so to speak, I had pretty good taste for an 11 year old. :slight_smile:

It was a weird tie between Lisa Gerritson and Mary Tyler Moore.

It’s a toss up. When I was 8 years old I had super painful crushes on Elvis (this was after he died, mind you!) and a combination of Davy & Mickey from the Monkees. The show was in syndication on a local channel one summer.

So, in 1978, I was in love with 1 dead guy, plus 2 guys from a 60s television show.
