Who was your first crush?

Davy Jones of the Monkees!

Sadly no longer with us.

Oh dear now I feel old Gillybob my daughter had a crush on Jimmy Osmond.
Simon Forester for me as well and David Hunter from Crossroads, can't remember his real name.

Marc Bolan and Pete Duel (Hannibal Heyes in Alias Smith & Jones) shared the space on my wall!

Paul McCartney. Ilya Kuryakin. Then Micky Dolenz of the Monkees. Though I think I actually just felt sorry for him because he was so gawky next to Davy Jones.

Adam Faith was my first crush as I said earlier but I was only 3 and kissed the tv every time he came on but by the time I got to having posters on my wall I remember a very sexy looking Steve Mcqueen.

George Chakiris and Michael Landon.

Marydoll , that pic you posted is of Robert Fuller who played Jess Harper in The Man from Laramie. I preferred him to John Smith who played Slim Sherman. I liked them tall , dark and handsome!
BBbevan, Gil Favour was the trail boss in Rawhide and he was played by Eric Fleming. I rather fancied him over the young Clint Eastwood who played Rowdy Yates.
Never quite saw the appeal of Richard Chamberlain, my friend at primary school adored him.

David McCallum from Man from Uncle. His picture was taped to the inside of my school desk lid.

Tommy Steele, the start of rock and roll and coffee bar culture, his first record still imprinted on my brain.

Oh, I remember this so clearly.... An actor called Larry Parks who played the part of Al Jolson in two films about his life.
I had a photo of the gorgeous Larry pinned inside my desk lid at school for years.

I didn’t have a crush on Dirk Bogarde I was deeply in love with him.

I loved James Dean

James Drury, The Virginian

Montgomery Cliff

Gregory Peck

Che Guevara, still have the tee shirt

I was so fickle

Cary Grant - he was so handsome and was in some fabulous films.

I loved Dirk Bogarde too!

Everyone mentions men - the first 'crush' that my friends and I had was our gym mistress at school. We literally worshipped the ground she walked on. She was young and pretty, such a change from the other harridan who had been teaching us.
I won't mention her name, she could be another Gransnetter!

Ooo lots of these. My sister was three years older than me and loved Robert Horton, Fabian, Rick Nelson, Eddie Cochrane, Elvis of course and looking back I can see that they were all gorgeous. I can remember Will Hutchins from Sugarfoot being rather lovely and lots of the 'cowboys' about at the time (and Cookie). Then, as DanniRae says, along came the Beatles and all the rest were forgotten, although it was George for me. I hated Patti Boyd I also liked Tony Hicks from The Hollies, Peter Noone, Chip Hawkes - the list is endless

Barberdice I fancied David McCallum too rather than Robert Vaughan.

Jalima, you have reminded me, I went to see the Convent schools production of The Gondoliers, there a girl from the 6th form who was so beautiful , she would have been 17, I was 12.

Richard Chamberlain as Dr Kildare. I used to tape record the programmes [no videos in those days!] and listen to them again and again up in my room which was plastered with photos of him. My first ever LP was of him singing. It was only comparatively recently that I discovered he was gay - so that's why I missed out

jalima and anniebach, I mentioned my (female) ballet teacher, and Margot Fonteyn. It was quite normal in my childhood/youth to have same-sex crushes.

It was Grandma70, I had forgotten my crush on the 6th former

Billy Cotton. No, honestly, we didn’t have a tv, so I only heard his voice on the radio. I was four or five at the time, and really in love. I’d moved on to Dick West the All American Boy ( Range Rider’s sidekick) by the time I saw a photo of Billy Cotton. (Range Rider is not to be confused with The Lone Ranger, btw.)

So many names of my early crushes have already been mentioned - Marc Boland, Ilya Kuriakin, of course, Dr Kildare, I think maybe even Tony Blackburn and then lots of boys in the 6th form when we were 12-year-olds in the 2nd form. Later, some of the boys in our own year caught our eyes, too.

One boy from my class I still hanker after to this day. I often think that if I had managed to get him to ask me out (he was very VERY shy) and even keep him for the rest of our lives, he would probably be just as bad as any other husband these days, so keeping him in my dreams is the best way.

And only very recently did I realise how dishy Elvis was - I didn't get it at the time.

Sorry, I missed that Grandma70s!

I thought Francesca Annis was wonderful too, but I think I wanted to be her, rather than have a crush on her.

Then, at 15, I fell in love but he let me down and broke my heart
Well, chipped it a bit.

Yes it was Eric from 10 cc, but come on girls, how can a crush on somebody called Eric last, compared with somebody named Clint?
I think It was PT from Whirlybirds eyes that had me but I was only about 12! Although my crushes didn’t last long.

My very first crush was Cliff Richard, I was less than two, but could sing 'Livin' Doll' with all the right words, and apparently do the 'lip curl' too!
I graduated on to Adam Faith, followed by Michael Landon, Lorne Greene (I've always quite liked older men), James Stewart, David Cassidy, Cary Grant, Gregory Peck and David Niven!
The biggest crush of the lot though, was, is and shall ever be Tom Selleck!
