Did you have a schoolgirl crush on a film star?

I was in love with Richard Chamberlain. (Dr. Kildare and the Thorn Birds. )

Sussexborn- Yes, Davis Essex was a close fave too, in those days- but Mr Cassidy definitely came first in line for me! Oh and David Soul, of Starskey & Hutch fame on tv too, was a 2nd fave to David Cassidy- (what was it about all the Davids back then- all talented & great looking??)

Well if we're including pop stars then George Harrison was the man for me. I loved him. He chatted with a group of us girls once - well George spoke, I gawped open mouthed.

I think im not as old as some on here- at nearly 57- but i too still like James Dean, (my mum loved his few films) such a waste of a young talented actor.Also, in the 70's i had a huge crush on David Cassidy- not a film star (though im sure my mum said his dad Jack was?) but a Tv & singing star- and later, when i was an adult, and he made a comeback tour, i went to a concert he did in Blackpool, as it was a coach trip organised by our local paper, they put us up in the Hilton hotel- it turns out David was staying there too! I Was in foyer chatting to 2 other ladies on our coach trip, when he walked in with his wife and 2 minders & manager and as they sat & chatted i summoned up courage to go introduce myself to him, i shook his hand & said how great the concert was, & told him my eldest daughter had same birthday as him!- he asked me how id managed that-? & laughed- we spoke a bit more & he even let me kiss him goodbye on the cheek! He really was a lovely man- i just wish my late mum had still been alive so i could have told her all about it- as my bedroom when a teen had been covered in his posters & i wouldn't let her decorate! The other 2 ladies didnt dare go speak to him, but im so glad i did!

A friend couldn’t make it to a David Essex concert so I went along instead. He wasn’t really on my radar but wow! He made us all feel he was singing directly to us. Great entertainer and great voice. He’s aged beautifully as well.

James Mason, Dirk Bogarde, Peter O'Toole and Omar Sharif.

Hugh O'Brian an American actor and humanitarian, best known for his starring roles in the ABC Western television series The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp. Went to see him when he visited London.l I loved the character - 'Brave, courageous and bold.'

steve mcqueen, dirk bogarde and as a teenager david cassidy

Michael Landon, Roger Moore as 'Ivanhoe', the actor who played William Tell - Conrad Philips? - Steve McQueen, Robert Redford, Paul Newman, and when Omar Sharif came galloping out of the desert sand on his camel....oh those eyes! I had so many crushes and mooned about over these handsome actors it's a wonder anyone got a word of sense out of me as a young teenager. Thinking back they probably didn't. I must have been so annoying.

I loved Richard Chamberlain (Dr Kildare), also Dirk Bogarde of course.

Oh yes, Pierce Brosnan too- but that was much later!

Steve McQueen was my favourite, he wasn't very tall but the camera loved him, he looked gorgeous on film. I must admit that these days I still have a "crush" on Keanu Reeves, very good looking and seems like a nice man.

Not sure how being gay led to James Dean's death, he was killed driving a sports car too fast on an empty road.

The Fonz. Oh yesss

I was madly in something with Leonard Nimmoy as Mr Spock in Star Trek

George Chakiris, still gives me the shivers watching West Side Story. He won an Oscar for his role in it.

Richard Gere

Pierce Brosnan

All my class went to see Hamlet at Stratford, with Peter McEnery as Laertes. Still makes my toes curl!

We had a drink in that bar too Callistemon and bought a tee shirt in there for our nephew, who is a fan if Ollie's.

David Essex - such lovely eyes! Not sure about film stars, but I had a HUGE crush on Bruce Springsteen back in the 80s! And I wasn't a schoolgirl. I was a married mum! Still very fond of Bruce but not in that way any more.

I'm with 'Norstat' on this one, David McCallum was my first crush followed by, approx 20yrs later, Richard Gere ✨?✨

Charlton Heston in El Cid, later James Dean.

Omar Sharif after seeing Dr Shivago.?

Henry Darrow as Manolito in the High Chapparal. Loved the whole series and 'binged' when it was shown on a Sky channel a while back. They even have reunions in Tuscon Arizona each year - though most of the cast are now dead (Not Henry though but I saw he's too frail to travel now).

Gregory Peck when he was young.

James Stewart

Louis Jourdain

Omar Sharif

They don't make them like that any more.
