I was in love with Clint Eastwood when he was in Rawhide in the early 60's
He is 90 today.

oops _ Richard Warwick !

I liked David Warwick - he played Uncas in the Last of the Mohicans 70's BBC serial .

Clint Eastwood when he was Rowdy Yates. I loved the spaghetti westerns too. I don't want to see him as he is now though- I'd rather live in my dreams.
Anyone remember Horst Bucholtz?He was gorgeous too.

It is surprising a lot of these heart throbs were gay.
I liked Gene Kelly. (Brigadoon).

We had a drink in that bar where Ollie supped his last Scousegirl

I also had a crush on Oliver Reed! I had a large picture of him sitting inside a coffin, on my bedroom wall! My mother flatly refused to come in until I took it down!
Kenneth More and gorgeous Dirk Bogarde also figured very strongly in my youth. Not too mention Clint, Clark, Yul, John Kerr and lots of others. Oh! Dear,

Oh yes. Mine is Steve McQueen and always has been. So handsome and a great actor. Also Jimmy Smitts who was my first crush. Also a great actor.

Phloembundle oh, yes John Kerr! But I just loved the film; it's about the only film I could watch again and again and the stage show (without John Kerr).

I loved Anthony Hopkins and David mcCallum when he was in Man From Uncle and I carried around pictures of him ❤️

mrsgreenfingers I remember seeing David Cassidy in Blood Brothers here in the UK. He played an excellent part.

Oh goody! I can have Alan Bates all to myself by the looks of things!

Phloembundle Mon 01-Jun-20 10:05:11

I preferred Gil Favor to Rowdy Yates. Also, my mum took me to see South Pacific and I fell in love with John Kerr.

Does Cliff Richard count, otherwise Clint Eastwood, Paint Your Wagon, who knew he could sing (reasonably well)

jaylucy Mon 01-Jun-20 10:04:31

Oh yes, I loved Pete Duel and was devastated when he died.

David Essex - that little twinkle in his eye! He still has it.

David Cassidy - oh he was beautiful!

Davy Jones of the Monkees

Steve Hodson - the dark brooding one in Follyfoot

Oliver Tobias - a moody Arthur of the Britons - I had to go to a friends house to watch it!

Just realised these are mainly from the tv - I didn't really go to the cinema growing up as living in a village it was usually difficult to get home from the nearest town at night.

David Cassidy, oh I was so in love with him and used to kiss his poster on my bedroom wall every night before I went to bed! Terribly sad his life ended in such a mess.

I just remembered how much I loved Clark Gable and Gene Barry! I did share the crush with my mum.

Thank you Calendargirl

James Drury

Calendargirl Mon 01-Jun-20 09:17:15

The Virginian was James Drury, I think, Annie.

He died a little while ago.

Alexa Mon 01-Jun-20 08:59:55

NanKate, at last someone who possibly is as old as me? Do you remember Gene Autry? I loved him too.

Puzzler61 Mon 01-Jun-20 08:59:52

Ooh Curlywhirly you’ve just reminded me -
George Clooney in “The American” . Broodingly sexy.
And Richard Gere in “An Officer & A Gentleman”. and “Pretty Woman”. That white uniform!

NanKate Mon 01-Jun-20 08:57:23

Sorry it was you Alexa who had a crush on the Cisco Kid.

NanKate Mon 01-Jun-20 08:56:18

Kenneth More, he was a bit like my dear Dad.

I remember the Cisco Kid Annie.

Alexa Mon 01-Jun-20 08:54:33

Cesar Romero as The Cisco Kid.

Anniebach Mon 01-Jun-20 08:36:30

Who was The Virginian ?

BlueBelle Mon 01-Jun-20 06:38:40

How many westerns we used to watch !!!
