crushes on actresses

I know that we have threads here about "hottest actress".That is not what I am asking here,not even asking which actresses you consider"attractive".This is to discuss actresses that you seriously developed crushes on.
First up for me is Yvonne Decarlo as Lily Munster way back when I was 5 or 6.
I saw Phantom of the Paradise during it's original theatrical run and did not see it again til 11 years later.I had a crush on Jessica Harper/Phoenix for a couple of days.Come to think of it,I am in love with that entire movie.
Several years a go,I dreamed that I met Cynthia Geary(Shelly on Northern Exposure).I woke up and had a crush on her for the next day or so.
I watched The Secret Diary of Sigmund Freud last week.Carol Kane looked so cute..

My first serious crush on an actress (which I still have many years later) was on Joan Collins.

Helen Slater, saw Supergirl when I was a kid and she drove me wild...well, as wild as you can be for a child...

Lori Loughlin. She was in a bunch of movies back in the '80s, and she's still in quite a bit of stuff today. Oh man, I had a crush on her.

Pam Grier. Strong and black-like my coffee!

There was a HUCKLEBERRY FINN television series in the late 1960s/early 1970s. It had live-action actors mixed in with animated characters. When I was about 5 or 6 years old, I had a crush on the girl who played Becky Thatcher. IMDB has only sketchy information about this show, but if IMDB is accurate, her name was Lu Ann Haslam.

Ah, here we go!

I had a hardcore crush on Goldie Hawn in the days of "Laugh-In".

But she's so thin.
That's just not attractive to me !

When I was about 4-5, I remember I was head over heels with Lydia (Winona Ryder) from Beetlejuice:

God knows why, as I don't even like Winona Ryder or find her attractive at all. I'm just a sucker for pale chicks with dye jobs.

I have to admit, I had a thing for Goldie Hawn years ago. Totally loved watching Private Benjamin as a kid:

And finally, (the only other crush I remember) Leslie Easterbrook in Police Academy.....damn!:

When I was a kid I had this huge crush for Lindsay Wagner, because of the reruns of "Bionic Woman".

Helen Slater was another favourite.

The year was 1966, I was 14 years old, a science fiction fan, and I'd just begun realize that girls were interesting creatures. On a Thursday night, 8:00 PM, NBC, I was smitten by this lady.

I was 6 years old. She was giggly and pretty. I wasn't looking at how thin she was. These days, I'd prefer her to have a bit more padding.

Oh, good Lord! I hadn't seen that show in YEARS!!!!!!!! And, yes, she is a bit sexy with those sleepy eyes. That was so long ago, I don't remember if I had a crush on her or not, but I remember liking the show.

For me, it was Pamelyn Ferdin. She was all over the place on TV in the late 60s and 70s.
Here she is in "Space Academy".

Oh yes. Me too.

Goldie Hawn did this dumb-blonde persona that I just found irritating. Also, I think I always found dark hair interesting. So I was in love with Rhoda (Valerie Harper) on the Mary Tyler Moore show

(actually, come to think of it, I was totally in love with Mary also)

and at a younger age, with Mary Ann (Dawn Wells) on Gilligan's Island
