Heartthrobs

If I didn't know better d4dsquared, I would swear you are my mum! Those were her two favourites

Adam Faith and Steve McQueen

Didn't a few of us mention a penchant for Philip Glenister on another recent thread?

I'll own to him being a relatively recent one after watching him in Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes.

Bridget Bardot, Doris Day, Sophia Loren, Diana Dors, Kathy Kirby, .... I must go and lie down now and take a powder!

Mrso - I used to like Adam Faith until I saw him on a programme and saw how short he was - I would have towered over him! Kind of put me off but, as a teen, things like that were important

I must go and lie down now and take a powder!

That did make me chuckle (you'll have to make do with a grin as there isn't a laugh smiley)

Gaga - I had a friend who was totally obsessed with Elvis. I went to the pictures with her to see Blue Hawaii. She made a complete show of herself. When Elvis was getting married in the film, my friend stood up and screeched at the top of her voice in the direction of his bride 'take your bleedin' hands off him'. He was extremely handsome I have to agree.

As I have gotten older mine have got younger! Currently mine are: David Tennant, Gerard Butler, Colin Farrell, George Clooney (of course) and Matt Damon. Whew - I have come over all peculiar!!

Steve McQueen and Steve Ellis (of the Love Affair) were my teenage heart-throbs.

From the age of 14 and for quite a few years, I absolutely adored the ITN newscaster Huw Thomas. I actually had plans to meet and marry him, but then he spoilt it all by getting married to someone else! He disappeared from sight for many years, but I managed to trace him and received a very nice letter from him, my second, the first being in 1957. He has sadly since died.

Hollydaze - Your mum was obviously a woman of impeccable taste!! I'm sure it's passed to her daughter too as you're a Gransnetter!

My number one man is Mike Nesmith from the Monkees. Others are David Essex, Kris Kristofferson, Rick Parfitt and Russell Brand .

kitty That's a lovely story about HK. I love really tall men

I used to have a sneaky regard for Robert Horton who played Flint McCullough in Wagon Train. My older sister liked him and I was only into the Liverpool stuff, but all that creaking of leather (or was it suede) when he walked...........

To return to the OP - when I was young, and this shows my vintage: Gary Cooper. What soulful eyes he had.

I have had such fun reading this!
Mine would include:
James Stewart
Bob Hope
Clint Eastwood
Gregory Peck
Danny Kaye
Richard Chamberlain
Billy Fury
Robin Gibb
Alan Bates
Tom Courtney
Alan Rickman
Philip Glennister
Justin Currie (Del Amitri)
As you can see I like 'interesting' faces!

During my schooldays, Robert Horton pictures were all over my 'scrapbook' - remember them?

Paul McCartney came next.

I used to find the man who played Anton Meyer (George Irving) in the early episodes of Holby City drop dead gorgeous and was so furious when he left I stopped watching it!!

Now it's Philip Glenister.

Sean Bean

I used to love all the policemen in z cars ( anyone remember them? ) one of them was Brian Blessed!

Adam Faith and Jeremy Spencer

Charles Dance (then & now) Colin Firth & Daniel Craig. Oh, and Sean Connery. Er.. and Donald Sutherland too. Yum.

Clint, Steve McQueen, Robert Mitchum, Cary Grant, Alan Rickman, Jeff Goldblum and Leonard Cohen spring instantly to mind

Paul Newman ,Richard Gere , Mick Jagger , Colin Firth , Elvis Presley and my all time heart throb and still my number one , David Essex .

d4dsquared - my mum also had a 'thing' for Patrick MacNee who played Steed in The Avengers, when he came on the screen she'd say 'ooh, look at him'; I won't repeat what my Dad used to say in response

Sean Bean
