Your first TV and Movie crush

[Brian Boru]

Now that @Frindis and I have outed our firsts—Kelly LeBrock from Weird Science & Veronica Hamel from Hill Street Blues, respectively—who is your first crushes? Hey @SWard, we need you for some gender balance!

 

[Mazer]

This is it. This is the topic that will cause more division than any of the RTwP vs TB nonsense, and get our forum members more riled up than any amount of youtube account spamming.

It'd be a toss up for me between Marzena Godecki as Neri from Ocean Girl, and Drew Barrymore as Sugar in Batman Forever, but then I was a highly refined pre-teen with gentlemanly tastes.

 

[Frindis]

I have to add Michelle Rodriguez. I absolutely loved her role in Resident Evil. Honorable mention to Milla Jovovich also. She is a really cool actor and in Fifth Element she will forever be remembered as the one. Sorry, Neo

As for the male movie crush: Clint Eastwood in Unforgiven is mine. Fantastic role and it is memorable how he has to combat between being a good father and doing what he feels is morally sound. He is not perfect, he got deep scars, but that also makes him more human.

FIRST? So you're talking, like, when I was maybe 7 years old??

 

[Brian Boru]

Hey if you were an early bloomer, that's cool!

Me at 7, I was unenlightened—girls were nothing but pests.

PS don't ask if I've changed my mind decades later, I have my health and survival to consider 🥴

Holly from Land of the Lost. So pretty! Unfortunately, she was more into early hominids. Damn you, Cha-Ka!!

That show was awesome, btw. It was developing quite a lore for a kid's show. Would love to see a video game exploring it!

Very first? That would be back around 1966, with Raquel Welch in One Million Years BC:

Later on in life, and more recently (sort of), would be Mila Jovovich from The Fifth Element (as @Frindis mentioned above):

One of my favorite movies, I used to quote tons of dialogue from the movie with my buddies back in the 90's

As a kid I had a slight confused crush on Batgirl from the 60's Batman TV show. But not Barbara Gordon, just Batgirl. And when I was slightly older, Mindy from Mork & Mindy.

Edit: Also Jedi-era Carrie Fisher.

Additional edit/update: But those were just "dim pre-hormonal awareness" levels of a crush. If we're talkin' "I'm old enough to get how all this works and I genuinely think about this person in a way that'd make me (and perhaps them) uncomfortable if I ever publicly admitted it," that'd probably have been Mia Sara as Sloan in "Ferris Beuller's Day Off."

And now I've said too much.

I've said too much

Haven't we all?

Very first?
…
Later on

Truly a man of exquisite taste!

 

[Frindis]

@Krud Mia Sare looks a lot like Winona Ryder when they both were young. Also a very fun movie, but also some serious moments, like with the guy wrecking the car. When I think of it, perhaps that was the only really serious moment in the movie, I dunno, I'm rambling a little

Something about that movie (and Mila) that I just can't get enough of . I had to watch it again last night just because we talked about it.

Janet from Three's Company. Chrissy was nice and all but I liked me some Janet. Still do.

 

[SleepingDog]

This was difficult - mainly because women didn't have much of a role in TV series when I was a young teen. If I had to give an answer it would probably be Glynis Barber from her Blakes 7 role as the kick-ass Soolin.

Heh, so this is really embarrassing but. . . My first crush from a movie or to show was Mufasaa from the lion king.
his manly ness, his strength, his maturity, his kindness , his sweetness and just basically everything about him is hot! I'm 14 and I still think he is sexy lmao

When I was a kid, I watched reruns of Bewitched and had a crush on Samantha. I also liked Lindsey Wagner, the bionic woman and Julie Tewes on The Love Boat, but Samantha was my main crush. Even as a kid, I much preferred "the girl next door" look to the glamorous Hollywood deal. OH, I liked Mary Ann from Gilligan's Island. She was nearly as good as Samantha!

I raise you. Catwoman and Emma Peel.
