Who was your childhood actor/actress crush?


The person who comes to mind first was on the late 50s TV series Whirlybirds. My sister crushed on Chuck Martin (Kenneth Tobey) and I pined over PT Moore (Craig Hill). We didn't see it during its initial run, but in syndication several years later.

Barbara Eden from I Dream of Jeannie. She's the best.

Honourable mentions also go to Barbara Feldon as Agent 99 from Get Smart and Melody Patterson as Wrangler Jane from F Troop.

reply

Also Kristie Alley from Look Who's Talking and Linda Hamilton from Beauty and the Beast in late '80s.

not an actor, but the first celebrity crush i can ever remember having was the blonde backing vocalist from the human league. susan sulley was her name, if i remember correctly, and she still kinda gets my motor running if i'm being honest.

the first actress i can remember fancying was valerie bertinelli, but i'm pretty sure every guy around my age had a bit of a thing for her back in the day.

reply

Miss Ellie from the Hillbillies
Samantha from Bewitched
Valerie Bertinelli from One Day at a Time

I have 'loved' Rosario Dawson for twenty years now at least...not really my 'childhood' age dreamgirl ( that was probably Princess Leia ) but Rosario is my movie/TV crush girl now for twenty years or so

She is also very nice and cool in real life...freindly with the fans, signs stuff...a real sweetie and one of the best looking babes ever

reply

I can see why. She's a looker. And when they're nice in person - it clinches it.

Annette Funicello

For you db since your heartthrob was Annette and mine was Tim Considine:

I felt like I had lost a personal friend when Annette died.

reply

Those images do invoke some memories.

Annette was that certain girl so many were jealous of...but secretly wished to be her. I have a feeling there were more guys, if truth be told, who pined after her. She was *the* ace with Walt Disney. Another case of β€œbad things happening to good people” when she was stricken with MS.

reply

Oh, I was completely infatuated with that little Italian beauty and her big brown eyes. Then, a few years later, it was those beach movies she was constantly in which took the infatuation to a whole new level. How to Stuff a Wild Bikini. Now there's a movie title to really generate a young buck's interest.

I remember Tim Considine as well, used to watch Spin & Marty. I was a big fan of My Three Sons because at the time, I was also in a family of three boys so, it was a matter of closely relating. I really liked Fred Mac Murray as the dad.

β€œHow to Stuff a Wild Bikini. Now there’s a movie title to really generate a young buck’s interest.” LOL!🀩

She was built...no doubt about it...and au naturel! I was a charter member of The Mickey Mouse Club and subscribed to the monthly magazine.

I wish I had saved those mags, the stacks and stacks of comic books, my brother’s 4 complete Lionel train sets, the Radio Flyer red wagon, the β€˜50’s Schwinn bike, the Jet Ace blue pedal car, etc., etc.

reply

I hear you. I used to have stacks of comic books as well; used to trade them regularly with my buddies. I can remember when Spider Man first came on the scene and I had that edition. Now I can only shake my head in dismay when a Marvel Studios movie is replayed during a holiday week end.

Shirley Jones from "The Music Man" and other films. Whoa! What a babe!

reply

What about when she was Shirley Partridge? Or did you move on to someone else?

reply


I had moved on by then.

reply

Yeah, it was the "mother-of-five" that did it, right? πŸ˜‰

reply


There is absolutely no truth to that rumor. That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it.

reply

I'll allow it. πŸ€”

Thank you. Thankyouverymuch!

reply

Shirley Jones with Gordon MacRae in β€œCarousel”! Wow! Now that is a movie I have watched several times.

Jamie Lee Curtis,Heather Thomas and Amy Steel come to mind when i think of my 80s crushes.
