Boomers: who was your first celebrity crush as a kid? (attractive, best)

[ccm123]

I also had a crush on Lindsay Wagner. She always looked like “the girl next door” type to me, which always attracted me.

Years later, in my sophomore year in college, I would meet and date a girl who resembled her. She would be my girlfriend for the next two years. Our life priorities after college were very different, so she broke it off with me. She wanted to settle down and start a family, I was too young and immature at the time to even think about settling down. (It’s true that girls mature faster than boys do.) I still regret it to this day.

We’re both married now, and she’s living in Dallas, Texas now.

I streamed Parent Trap not too long ago. Felt a little like a pervert watching Haley and not Maureen, although Maureen wasn't a slouch.

Understood (you must be male?!) For me, she was like a role model, perky, confident, offbeat... all the things I wasn't at that age (12-13).

Maureen was gorgeous!

Tom Jones. I had to sneak to my friend's house to watch his TV program.

Ali MacGraw.

For some reason I'm surprised I'm the only one who mentioned her. I remember staring at her pictures in magazines for hours and hours.

Jim Reed on Adam-12 show played by Kent McCord.

I watched the show just to see him thought he was so cute, kept trying to find a poster of him.

Danny Bonaduce. Hey, the heart wants what the heart wants.

Bobby Sherman from the TV show Here Come the Brides.

Lots of Bobby Sherman fans here!

I didn't have a crush on him but I thought Edd Byrnes was super cool: "Cookie, Cookie, Lend Me Your Comb." (What's the deal with his Wikipedia photo? Looks nothing like the sex symbol of the early 60's.) OK my memory didn't serve, that was Efrem Zimbalist Jr.
