First Movie Actor/Actress Crush

[tracy]

Gene Wilder ...... I bought a DVD copy of the 40th Anniversary Edition of Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory yesterday and it brought back all those warm memories. I was all of 7 years old when this came out and I thought he was wonderful.

Not terribly original, but:

Jessica Lange in King Kong (1976)

Hmmm. I don't know if I can remember the first. I suppose anybody who didn't make enough of an impression to be remembered wouldn't count anyway. I'm going to have to go with the same answer as in the other "crush" thread - Persis Khambatta in Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Never saw a woman who looked like that before, and I found her strange but oddly compelling. And the accent didn't hurt either.

I didn't really have the typical "crush" sort of things as a pre-pubescent boy, but the first actress I can remember being really attracted to was Elisabeth Brooks in the Howling.  You can probably guess why.

Lois Lane herself, Margot Kidder. Yeah she's a lot older but in the 70s/early 80s, she looked good to me.

That reminded me of the "arguments" my sister and I had over whether she was a good Lois Lane or not....I liked her a lot but Mary didn't. Oh,well!

Just the actress, or a giantess thing as well?

You people all have all hollywood starlets from early movie days. But for me It is Jessica Alba From Dark Angel as Max Guevara... Which was in the early 2000's (this makes me feel very young) till fox caneled it... I hate you Fox network for taking away a very happy part off my teenager years >:-( ... The only happy part!!!!!

I suppose it all comes down to the movies you were watching when puberty came along. For me, that was in the early 80s. Not exactly early movie days, but 30 years ago anyway. So, Persis Khambatta in Star Trek, who was pretty typical of what I've found most appealing ever since.

That's actually something I would never have admitted to more than a handful of people until recently. Based on the response here, or lack thereof, I can conclude that it's either no big deal, or so weird as to be greeted with awkward silence.

I thought she was exotic and lovely.

I thought she was exotic and lovely.

Many people did. For most, Persis was beautiful and exotic enough to rock the bald head, or to look good in spite of it. I thought it was an improvement, and came to see it as a very attractive look for women in general. From what I've read about the creation of the Ilia character, and other bits of Trek history, I'm convinced Gene Roddenberry shared that particular kink, and hoped people would react positively to the character, perhaps sparking a trend.
