Two somewhat embarrassing words – Terry Bradshaw.
Hey, it was the early 70s!
Mine was Johnny Bench during the Big Red Machine heyday.
sigh
I even got to meet him when I went to his restaurant, Johnny Bench’s Home Plate, for dinner on my 6th birthday. What a bday prezzie!
Celebrity crushes are why I miss the days of the pre-corporate internet. When you found a celeb attractive you could ‘altavista’ them (I speculate google was unknown or even non-existant at the time) and find plenty of free fansites containing hundreds of high-res pics of your celebrity interest.
Please please tell me you mean ponytails and this isn’t some form of animal love?
As for me,Dana Plato 
The rest I have to wait till they hit 18…or at least 16
Emma Watson,Charlotte Church,Olsens yada yada
Oddly? She’s beautiful, to be sure, but there is something in the way her hair, make-up, and costumes in that flick, along with the character she assumes, that make her the most beautiful woman I can imagine. I must have watched that movie fifteen times on TNT (IIRC) & TBS since it first came out on basic cable.
I guess we were suckers for boyish good looks. 
Johnny Depp was a few years later, too. I’ll bet he’s on your list. They don’t get any more boyishly good-looking than him.
Now I may have had earlier crushes but this was the first one that I can recall clearly.
I had that poster on my wall.
Michael Keaton. I was probably about 10 or 11. I thought he was soooooooo cute, and had super sexy lips. I cut photos of him out of magazines and taped them all over my wall. I think my parents found it kinda strange that here I was with a crush on an older guy instead of some teen heartthrob. But hey, I always was partial to older guys…I married one! (I’m 24, he’s 36)
Showing my age, but my first movie star (the only “celebrities” were the regulars on What’s My Line?) was the gorgeous Alan Ladd.
Didn’t change, even after I found out he was short; the man was beautiful, and that voice, yum.
Didn’t have another crush until Michael Parks, another beautiful, broody man.
I probably have the oldest celebrity crush. Even at age seven I was a sucker for operatic bass. After seeing Ezio Pinza in a movie, I was in love. Alas, he was 59. That was in 1951. If he were still living, he would be 112!
(Sob!)
Well, I not only feel old, I feel alone. Nobody had a crush on the guys I liked. In fact, I’m willing to bet that not too many remember a couple of them.
I fell in love with David McCallum from The Man From UNCLE at a young age, although I’m still not sure whether it was the actor or the character I had a crush on.
And then I got to be a young teenager and apparently lost all sense of taste, because Bobby Sherman (Here Come the Brides) and Leonard Whiting (Romeo and Juliet) figured high on the list. I like to think that some of that was just going along with the crowd.
And while I never had a crush on Emma Peel, I sure wanted to be her.
Me too. Shown in Britain late 60s.
About the same time the Angel pilots from Capatin Scarlet: Here’s Destiny
I graduated to Emma Peel. And I still carry a torch for Barbara Harris. The 60s/70s model that is.
Sorry, didn’t notice, I was too busy drooling over Yvonne Craig as batgirl. I would wait with bated breath through the opening credits, hoping that little cartoon mortorcycle would drive by, promising that she’d be in the episode.
Wow we have gone this far and no one has mentioned Farrah Fawcett? That hair! That poster!I was crushed when she married Lee Majors. I Must have been around 10 at the time. I wasn’t the only one either ,all my little buddies loved her too.
It’s okay, Loach. You’re an adult now. It’s okay to say “genitalia.”
You do mean “bat”-ed breath, doncha, gonzoron? 
My first crush was Christopher Reeve from when he was in Superman.
Man, did I love it when he winked while flying by.
Sol if thats what I meant I would have said little buddy. They may come as a set but only one has a mind of its own.
And no you can’t check, I’ve heard stories about you
Pamela Ferdin. She was on a few “Lassie” shows, “Sigmund and the Sea Monsters”, played Felix’s daughter on “The Odd Couple”, but she hit me the hardest with “The Curiousity Shop.” And, she made Lucy Van Pelt sound sexy in a few of the Charlie Brown shows.
Of course, the aforementioned Dawn Wells and Yvonne Craig were yummy too. And Stephanie Powers (April Dancer, The Girl From U.N.C.L.E..)
