Who was the first celebrity or fictional character you ever had a crush on when you were growing up, and what about them so captivated you?

Heather Thomas... every week I saw her in the "Fall Guy" intro in her iconic blue bikini:

I even had her poster on my wall in the 1980s for a few years (the left one, on the right is the German comedian Otto Waalkes):

Kelly Bundy

I can't remember having any, not that kind of a guy. The girl next door who was 9 years on the same class at school was a different story though.

Who ever this is (1987 version)


It was more the story/situation that captivated me than her in particular.  Dunno if that's a 'crush'. Nothing like crushes I've had on real girls.

Winona Ryder is probably the closest things to a childhood crush I've ever had. There was just something about her that captivated me; nearly enchantment level stuff.

Michelle Pfeiffer, especially in Batman Returns and Lady Hawk.

Sorsha (Joanne Whalley) from Willow. Saw that flick in the theater multiple times. I think I've always had a thing for redheads but perhaps it started with her.

Kimberly, the pink ranger, was it

Hard to say which counts as "first", but here are a few candidates:

1) I thought Christy Brinkley was really pretty even though I hadn't hit puberty yet.

2)  I was really attracted to the personality of Winona Ryder's character in BeatleJuice, but that isn't exactly the same as raw sexual desire.

3) The first celebrity to really turn me on, post-puberty, was Jennifer Connelly.
