Subject: First Celebrity Crush

Written By: woops on 01/07/05 at 8:37 pm

What was your first celebrity crush?



Though I vaguely remember, but my relatives claim that I had a thing for Debbie Gibson, Janet Jackson, and Paula Abdul. Or I might've been attractive to the bright colored clothes & the visuals of the music video instead since I was 5.  ::)  :D  :-*

I actually liked the female co host of the Disney Channel show "Inside Out" in the mid 1990's. (Forgot her name)

My first crush was with Emmy Jo from "The New Zoo Revue" She always seemed cheerful dancing in those boots and microminis. Also liked Dawn Wells (Mary Ann from G.I.) and Barbara Feldon (but only in Get Smart).

Yummmmmm - where is the spunky David these days - luved him in American Werewolf, Hot Dog, and that army sitcom he did in the 80s.

I didnt really have a heartthrob till mid to late 70's. Growing up with out a TV meant I only saw movies at our drive in that we owned.

So round 77/78 it was Dirk Benedict in Battlestar Galatica ad Harrison Ford in Star Wars. 

Earlier than that I would say Elvis cos mum always had posters of him around.

Hmm . . . My first celebrity crush (before I realised what they were) was, regrettably, Sarah Ferguson the Duchess of York.  ::)

Admittedly, she looks better now than she was previously. What was going through my mind?

For me, I have to say Leif Garrett.  What was I thinking.  :o

Aged 11, I was strangely attracted to Suzi Quatro, although I wasn't really sure why.
Her poster replaced that of Kevin Keegan (English football star) on my bedroom wall in 1974.

A couple of years later I was absolutely knocked out by Wonder Woman (Lynda Carter). I never missed an episode, even though I realised the show was complete cack.

Mine was Canadian singer Candice Penella, better known as Candi.  She was a 1 hit wonder in America, but here in Canada, she had 8 popular hits from 1988-1991.  I remember seeing her on an episode of The Super Dave Osborne Show.  God, she looked hot  :o

I don't recall exactly, 'cause lord knows there've been tons (and me being the ever unchanging me in this kind of thing, any childhood crushes are bound to STILL be crushes, LOL!).

But seeing as music was the first "media" I got into, it must've been a few female singers. I'd say Circa 1984 Madonna was one of the first. What a cutie. ;)

I may be in the minority, but I always thought she was far far more appealing and attractive in that phase of her career, as opposed to when she really pushed the envelope with an "in your face"-type sexiness in the late 80's/early 90's, but that's a whole 'nother topic!

Other honorable mentions:
-Cyndi Lauper
-Leslie Easterbrook (Callahan from the Police Academy's)
-Lea Thompson (Lorraine from the BTTF's!)
-Annie Potts (from Ghostbusters 1-2)

Yeah, I was a weird kid. ;D

Really, that's cool. I didn't know of anything else she'd been in.

Oddly enough, aside from Steve Guttenberg of course, alot of the recurring PA cast was never really known for any other roles.

Hooks, Proctor and Harris will always be known for that series. Even though Lassard was on Punky Brewster and Jones was in Spaceballs, I still know them best for these respective roles.

But anyway, me being me, as the movies progressed, I tended to like Callahan more (I guess I've always liked older women, LOL!). ;)
