Earliest is Christina Ricci. I was 10 and the movie was Casper.
That crush continues to this day.
Probably either Shakira or Brittney Spears.
Jessica Alba then Emma Watson and then Megan Fox 💀
But I was more grown up for the later two. My child child crush was Jessica Alba 😂
Christina Ricci. I was maybe 5 or 6 the first time I saw the Addams Family movies, I was already extremely into everything scary and/or Halloween adjacent, and she was only a few years older than I was, and she was both pretty and scary, and the boy she gets paired with in Values reminded me of me. The overall effect of this was to fill me with a deep-seated lifelong fondness for spooky women in general and her in particular. A few years after that I saw Casper, which only reinforced the effect, and Sleepy Hollow showed up just in time for me to hit puberty.
By look, Milla Jovovich in the 5th Element.
By sound, Tim Curry in Ferngully.
Tim Curry lol
yep
Lilu Multipass & Ruby Rhod
Alicia Silverstone
Fergie from Black Eyed Peas
Eddie Vedder circa Ten. Sigh…
The painfully obvious: Jennifer Connelly.
First saw her in Labyrinth when I was like 12, and she awoke something in me, and that continued when I saw The Rocketeer when my parents rented them from Blockbuster. Later when I was a little older she solidified that awakening when I saw Career Opportunities rented from Blockbuster myself once old enough to have my own account.
Fran Fine from The Nanny.
It was one of those 'I don't know if I fancy her or want to be her' type crushes and was basically the foundation for my love of fashion and personal style, and my predilection for annoying voices.
Also my mother hated her, which made me like her even more.
The earliest, specific crush on a celebrity I can remember was Lindsay Lohan in as early as 2003, but maybe 2005 or so. I was a middle schooler.
Anyone remember: Kristy McNichol?
My boyhood dream.
I think my first was Linda Carter.
Definitely on my list.
- Hudson Leick (Calisto on Xena)
- David Yost (Billy on MMPR)
- Toni Braxton (that Unbreak My Heart video? Come on!)
- Tyson Beckford (speaking of that video!)
- John Henson (Talk Soup)
- Tiffani-Amber Thiessen
- Siddig El Fadil
- And of course Terry Farrell
Alyssa Milano. She could have been my boss.
Candice Bergen I'm the Wind and the Lion
Candice Bergen as Murphy Brown. I think halfway I wanted her and halfway I wanted to be her.
Alyssa Milano
Yvonne Craig
Eartha Kitt
Julie Newmar
Linda Hamilton circa Beauty and the Beast
Michelle Pfeiffer circa Ladyhawke
Jessica Rabbit
Heath Ledger
Leonard Nimoy as Spock
Man.....what 12 year old me would have given to explore Alex Mack's secret world....
Delores O'Riorden.
Watching her dance under a waterfall covered in gold paint for the music video for Zombie really did it for child me apparently.
Danielle Fischel and Rider Strong (Topanga and Shawn from Boy Meets World). Trying to understand how I could be attracted to both led to some important realisations as a young teen...
Jennifer Connelly in The Rocketeer
Mine was seeing Cameron Diaz in the Mask when I was like 6. Her walking into that bank for the first time completely changed me.
Lead woman in the last movie I saw.
Maybe the most consistent was Hermione Granger, I say Hermione instead of Emma Watson bc I never saw her as anything else and had a crush on the book character too.
The other option might be Anna Kendrick.
Valerie Bertinelli
Blondie
Adrian Paul in The Highlander TV Series.
Jonathan Taylor Thomas.
Paul Rudd circa Clueless
Diana Rigg, but only because I was a big Bond nerd in high school.
Erika Eleniak and Tiffany Amber Thiessen.
Lindsay Wagner, the bionic woman. I had no fear of strong women.
