I guess you could say she was my first crush, I just remember thinking even at that young age that she was absolutely gorgeous.

Without question and U think that's why Eldora hates this movie so much it had a much better cast and an gorgeous actress who has shown that she can really act to everyone since then as well

I was 11 or 12, and my first movie crush as well. She was the hottest thing i'd ever seen! She was amazing.

She was so sexy in King Kong
I melt every time I see her in that film

She STILL might be the hottest thing I've ever seen. Certainly the sexiest performance I've ever seen in a movie that wasn't primarily about sex (in the normal sense of the word).

You took the words right out my mouth. In the thirty odd years since I first saw this film, I have seen many beauties, past & present, and many sexy performances. But I still would rank this one #1. There have been better looking women with better bodies, but she is great too, and it all came together for her on this one. I STILL shake my head when I watch her in this. I'm also glad she went onto a successful career.

I too was mesmerized by her beauty as well. I was like 8 or 9 and I was salivating at her every move and puerile gesture while she was laying with Kong.

I think I was even younger when I saw this, maybe 5 or 6 and I was mesmerized by Lange. Watched it again last night for the first time in years and she's a knockout.

I just watched the film today.

Even though there a lot more woman out there better looking and having better bodies, she was incredibly hot in this film. It's hard to pin-point what made her so hot but I think it was how much she got so easily into the fun spirit of the film.

I was about the same age and agree wholeheartedly. She was hot!

Well, this movie came out 7 years, almost to the exact day, before I was born. So by the time I did see it, around the age of 10, it was played regularly on TV. It still gets played on TV fairly often. I watched some of it on AMC the other night. But yeah, I did find Jessica Lange incredibly hot in this movie, even at a young age.

I don't know if Jessica was my very 1st crush but, she was definitely one of my first after I saw King Kong in '76 when I was 8-years old. The big screen experience of watching Jessica Lange in King Kong was quite a sensational experience for any guy, both young and old back in '76. My little brother developed a crush on Farrah Fawcett the same year when he was 7.

Oh, me too. She is every viewer's fantasy.

It's funny how many responses from guys (and maybe girls) around the same age. I was 7 at the time but didn't really see it until a few years later on HBO. Your exact age doesn't matter, Jessica Lange is absolute perfection and you never forget her. I think I was fantasizing about her before I knew what fantasizing was.
