Thanks to _Ghostbusters_, Bill Murray was my first crush ever. I think I was five or six when that developed. I’m not sure I’m crushing as hard now that I’m grown. ---

**Charlotte Rampling** is a damn handsome woman still today. ---

> [@Icarus](#): > > What is this, highschool? Once you get into real adulthood, 10 years is but a number. Well in the OP “age appropriate” is defined as within 5 years of your age. So if you want to complain, complain in that thread. ---

Helen Mirren, Jane Seymour and Sigourney Weaver are all a good bit older than me and would get my vote. ---

Elle Mapherson is 5.5 years older than I am Laura Linney, also 5.5 years older Gates McFadden, 20 years older Diane Sawyer, 24 years older And then there’s Jodie Foster, who is 7 years older. But she’s gay, so unlike the others I have no chance with her. ---

I’m 49, but I’ve always had and still have a thing for [Emmylou Harris](https://www.google.de/search?q=emmylou+harris&rlz=1C1AVFC_enDE743DE743&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjAj6347aLVAhXHnBoKHSU6AjYQ_AUICigB&biw=1366&bih=589). She’s seventy and still one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen. Of course her wonderful music and angelic voice add to her attractiveness. I also like that she doesn’t dye her hair, the grey suits her very fine. Another crush of mine, a beautiful, sophisticated and intelligent woman: [Senta Berger](https://i0.web.de/image/170/31508170,pd=2/senta-berger.jpg), 76. She looks her age, no doubt, but naturally matured, beautiful and wise. ---

I have always loved Richard Gere and still love him with silver hair. He’s still got the beautiful eyes and that distinctive walk. 🙂 Andy Garcia is right up there too. ---

For oh so many years (pretty much since Die Hard) it was Alan Rickman. Meeting him in 2012 just solidified it for me. He was pretty much my one and only celebrity crush for the longest time. Now I’m thinking, Timothy B. Schmidt. Saw him in concert last year at a very small venue and boy is he a beautiful man. ---

I’m 50 I really like **Deborah Harry** at any age, even the 72 she is this year and also **Denzel Washington** , who is 63, although I’m not sure that at my age, a 13 year difference is that big a deal. ---

I have to agree with another poster. At the age of 56, a 61-year-old would seem practically the same age as me! But here are my choices (going by looks only!): Pierce Brosnan Richard Gere Denzel Washington Kevin Costner Mark Harmon Jeff Bridges ---
