Remember the famous Farrah Fawcett poster? And that one of Shaun Cassidy? As a kid, I didn't necessarily hang posters on my walls, but I was madly in love with each and every cast member of The Outsiders.
Who was your favorite celebrity crush as a tween (or a teen)?

Tween - you hit it on the head with Shaun Cassidy, oh and Mark Hammill a la Luke Skywalker.
ReplyDeleteTeen - Duran Duran all the way!
Some fan I was, spelling correction Mark Hamill
ReplyDeleteHa! I know which posters you're talking about. I had the Shaun Cassidy one, where he wearing the silver jacket. Later on, I had it bad for Rob Lowe.
ReplyDeleteI blame my older sisters for my Shaun Cassidy obsession. And after him, Bo Duke. I still think John Schneider is something special.
ReplyDeleteOh, and then there was Dirk Benedict. Ah, Faceman...
I was SOOO in L-O-V-E with C. Thomas Howell AND a little later, John Taylor.
ReplyDeleteI loved Simon Le Bon of Duran Duran. I was so going to be Mrs. Simon Le Bon. One of the highlights of my life was meeting him. He was so nice and he touched my cheek and told me I had beautiful skin. It was like that Brady Bunch episode where Davy Jones kissed Marcia Brady's cheek, and she said she'd never wash that cheek again. I totally contemplated never washing my cheek again.
ReplyDeleteI was in love with Jack Wagner. I watched him on General Hospital and when his song hit the radio, I stopped the car so I could cry on the side of the road, I was so happy! But nothing could compare to meeting him back stage at a concert and actually having him KISS me!! OMG, I was floating on clouds for months afterward! *sigh* So in love...
ReplyDeleteSherrie - Jack Wagner kissed you? What kind of kiss? (I think I'm jealous.)
ReplyDeleteEarly teens - Leif Garrett
ReplyDeleteLate teens - Robin Zander of Cheap Trick
I got to meet Mark Hamill when I was nine. I had something in my eye. He looked to see if he could tell what it was. I was so swoony it could have been a boulder. I didn't even notice it after that.
ReplyDeleteRobert Redford, Paul Newman and Cary Grant .....sigh! hmm. I'm exhalling. Are my years showing?
ReplyDeleteJim Morrison. I know we were never alive at the same time but I was a bit nutty over him. Yes, I was one of those girls with "Jim Morrison lives" written all over her brown paper bag book covers.
ReplyDeleteMark Hamil aka Luke Skywalker
ReplyDeleteIn my later teen years, it was Roger Daltrey of The Who. Even went to his house. Yep, Rena the stalker. ;) (No, really, we were invited!)
I had a crush on Kirk Cameron and a poster of - get this - Rick Astley. OMG I'm totally laughing right now.
ReplyDeleteWho is this Shaun Cassidy you speak of?
Rena, how did you get invited to Roger Daltrey's house?
ReplyDeleteAnd Kristen, yee little one, do you seriously not know who Shaun Cassidy is? I guess I neglected to teach you everything... ;)
And how weird is it that so many of you actually met your crushes? That never would have happened for me - it's not like Matt Dillon and Rob Lowe could have been found wandering around a mall in Jersey.
Stay gold, Ponyboy. The Outsiders were all over my room. C.Thomas Howell was my fave. Then there was Duran Duran- Simon Le Bon and John Taylor still make me swoon. Michael J. Fox..Then Kip Winger...yes, Winger..
ReplyDeleteHi Suzanne,
ReplyDeleteSome friends & I were spending time in England and we had made arrangements to met him at his home. His wife actually helped set it up for us. Fun times those were. :)
Growing up, I was in absolutely in love with John Schneider! I loved Bo Duke! Then, I fell in love with Jack Wagner as well. I actually met him, too! He was in Washington, DC, performing in "Grease" at the Warner Theatre on September 25, 1988 (I will never forget that date as long as I live!)His birthday is on 10/3 and I got someone backstage to give him a rose for me and when I met him I asked him if he got it and he told me that he did and that it made his day! He smiled at me and signed my program. Needless to say, I was on cloud 9 for quite some time!
ReplyDeleteNow, I am all grown up (at 36), and I am in love with Keith Urban, Alex O'Loughlin, the great Bon Jovi guys, and the guys from Supernatural-Jared and Jensen!
