As a teenager, which singers/actors did you really fancy, even fantasise about? For me it was - Davy Jones (Monkees) Peter Frampton (Thunderclap Newman) David Cassidy David Essex Peter Noon (Herman’s Hermits) Sasha Distel
Oh, how my imagination ran wild when I thought of, in particular, Davy Jones. And I was only about 13/14 at the time!
American cowboys, American cops, always. Hetty, nobody? Really? Ah dreams! Where would we be without them? They add colour and sparkle to our (let's face it!) ordinary lives. When my dog was alive I used to walk him down to the park on the river next to my old school. Looking up from there I could see my old classroom, flagpole outside with (maybe) a descendant of the river gull I used to look out at as I dreamed thirteen year old dreams of Rowdy Yates and Detective Hawk (Burt Reynolds before he made films). It's amazing I passed any exams at all I wasted so much time dreaming!
Elvis was my first ever love (in all his films I imagined I was the one he was kissing) I was only 14 at the time and couldn't understand this certain feeling I was experiencing when watching him! Rowdy Yates (Clint Eastwood) Robert Horton in Wagon Train
He was very handsome as he grew older. I wasn't a fan, but saw him on something or other and he was just lovely. I didn't realise he had drink problems at all.
So many have mentioned my crushes, but could I just add one more? Leonard Whiting (He was Romeo in Zefferilli's R & J). I had his poster on my wall for years.
George Harrison was my favourite. In second place was - I can't actually believe I am owning up to this now - Keith Richards. He is the stuff of nightmares to me now. And not forgetting Rod Stewart - but having seen him on the tv lately he should just back off and enjoy retirement. So today one of my favourites is dead, another looks dead and the other managed to survive all that sex, drugs and rock and roll.
Keith Richards is on my list posted above. He was lovely back then. I had a soft spot for Richard O'Sullivan from Man About The House. I met him once. He was delightful. He became quite poorly unfortunately.
Harrison Ford, Paul Newman, Scott Walker, Sean Bean and girl crushes, Lauren Bacall and Grace Kelly. Bought myself a twin set and pearl necklace to look like Grace Kelly, it didn’t work!
Mickey finn-T rex Macca Gary Brooker-procol harem(still has beautiful voice) Charlie Watts Weirdly my first spouse resemblance to all these guys was uncanny! Current Mr wonderful is also like my swoons: Andy Garcia / Tom selleck/ biker dude from village People!!?/ Al Pacino in serpico.......
