(can be from movies or TV) The 1st one I can remember was Ken Berry from "F Troop," I was pretty young at the time so I barely remember it. I definitely remember having a crush on Dean Jones from "The Love Bug" tho. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) And, of course, I loved "Robin" from TV's "Batman." He was in between the other 2. Ahhhh, the 60's..... ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

Great topic, Kimmer! My first crush was on Enrico Caruso, the opera singer (1873-1921). When I was 12 years old, I heard him sing on an old 78 and fell in love with his voice.

Interesting response, Midge!! When I was a bit older, I thought Donny Osmond was the best thing since sliced bread!! ;D We actually took a vacation in Las Vegas in the late 1970's and I got to see the Osmonds in concert. It was a lousy concert.... ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)

Aw, that's too bad, Kimmer. I remember seeing the Osmond Brothers at a county fair in the early 1960's. Donny was just a little tyke, and he was sooooo cute! I also had a crush on Joe Feeney, the Irish tenor on the Lawrence Welk Show. Guess I have a thing for tenors. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

I had a poster of Lynda Carter in my room, yes, but not in the Wonder Woman attire! ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png) She wore jeans and a blue shirt, tied at the front! :thumbsup:

Larry, I'm sure she looked positively enticing in whatever she wore.

It was probably Velvet Brown from the TV show "National Velvet". I don't know who the actress was but I thought she was so pretty. All sounds very boring but I was only about 10. I had a "National Velvet" game and books and I don't even like horses that much.

Diane, I believe Velvet in the TV series was played by Lori Martin.

I think mine was Bob Denver (aka Gilligan). I had a thing for Tim Conway for awhile too, don't ask me why. :uhuh:
My Major Celebrity Crush had to be Donny Osmond. I was madly in love with him for several years....

Actually I have had two crushes and one of them still exists today.
I really liked Dyan Cannon, and liked her so much one of my twin daughters was named Maressa Dyan.
My longtime crush, and I still love her to this day, is Linda Ronstadt. Even with her weight problems of recent years, God has not taken away her voice, and I have all of her CD's and listen to her almost as much as Neil Diamond.
;D

I never did get a crush on anybody till my post-high school days. I saw Sam Elliot in "Frogs" and fell deeply in love. He has made many more equally lousy, and a couple of better, films since then, and he is my one and only Man of My Dreams. I even like his truck and beef ad voiceovers.

I have a tendency to get crushes, but it has usually been with a singer from a band. So, i think my first was with Simon le Bon who is the singer for the 80s group Duran Duran. But, i grew out of that. Got a few other crushes with some band singers, and now well i have a crush on Rudy Valentino which is very different from my usual crush type.

I always thought that Sean Connery and Sam Elliot were very attractive. They are both handsome and have a seductive voice. I have a thing for men with accents.

I quite like them both as well. Sean Connery is extremely masculine, and he ages so well doesn't he ! I have to say that he is still sexy !!! ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png) Sam Elliot, what strikes me most about that man is his voice. He has a very masculine deep voice. : ![8D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/insane.png) :

I also find Tom Selleck to be rather sexy. He just kind of makes me melt. I don't see many of the new HOT actors fitting into the same class as the actors with more experience.
Of lady actresses, I think that Isabella Rossellini is one of those classic beauties like her mother, Ingrid Bergman. Their beauty doesn't wash off at the end of the day like some of the other “beauties” on the screen.

Yes Gina Tom Sellack is quite handsome and he can hug me anytime. There is also The English chap woh played Shane on the daytime soap "Days of Our Lives". His English accent just makes me melt and feel all warm and fuzzy inside...

I remember him. He is handsome. He was also Maxwell Sheffield (the dad) in THE NANNY. I haven't seen him in anything I can remember lately.

[glow=red,2,300]Toshiro Mifune[/glow] was probably first.
Then, you have, Parker Stevenson (Shaun Cassidy was too pretty), John Garfield Alan Ladd, Tom Selleck, gosh I adored him. Oh, Dana Andrews, I loved Dana Andrews. Now I hate most people, although Joaquin Phoenix doesn't make me throw up:) addie

Toshiro Mifune? You have exotic tastes, addie! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) I liked James Shigeta in Flower Drum Song, but he wasn't much of an actor compared to the great Mifune, and he didn't age well. Dana Andrews was very good-looking in his prime. I also had a big crush on John Payne in those Fox musicals he made in the 1940's. None of the younger leading men appeal to me, either. They don't make heartthrobs the way they used to, that's for sure.

Midge-- Toshiro Mifune was the first star I really knew, I saw a lot f him and he was so cool! And you can tell I watched a lot of Film Noir as well. My parents were very intense people. I saw my first musical at 10, PBS showed "singing in the rain" and I fell in love with Donald O'connor.
yea, they don't make 'um like they used to, you are right, the stars or even the movies that are now just bad re-hashings.
Thank the gods for DVDs! ![:-*](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/kiss.png)

That's interesting, addie. When you say Toshiro Mifune was the first star you "really knew" and that you "saw a lot of him," I am assuming you meant his films and not him personally?
I totally agree about DVD's, although I would prefer to see most classic movies in a theater if possible. When in lived in New York City in the late 60's and early 70's, there were lots of revival theaters. I feel really fortunate to have seen many of the great films for the first time on the big screen. These include Gone With the Wind, On the Town, An American in Paris, many Buster Keaton shorts and features, Steamboat Willie, The Band Concert, Min and Bill, West Side Story,A Streetcar Named Desire Camille, Singin' in the Rain and many others.

My first celebrity crush was Jordan Knight from New Kids on the Block because we share the same birthday. I was 3 years old.
