Inspired by another thread love songs it got me to thinking about posters I had on my bedroom wall when I was a teenager. I had David Cassidy and the Biba poster
Who did you have

Well I went through all these and didn't find mine which was
Farrah Forcett Majors! I thought she was perfection and wanted to look like her so it kept my mind on my weight and hair!
(I never morphed into her though)

Robert Redford, Craig Douglas ( anyone remember him ?????)

My sister had a poster of Cliff Richard on her wall and I got told off when I drew a moustache and glasses on her poster because I didn’t like him ??

Frankie Vaughan - please please no one say “Who?”

Micky Dolenz of the Monkees - though I wasn't really bothered about stars.
I had a collage of all sorts of cut up pictures, on my wardrobe door.

Almost every inch of my bedroom walls was covered with Beatles pics. There were a couple of the Stones as well plus a gorgeous photo of Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whiting from the film of Romeo and Juliet. Oh and a Yardbirds one and another of a local band that we all liked, called The Others.

I had Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix and George Harrison my favourite Beatle.

Mike Nesmith from the Monkees.

I also had Mike Nesmith on the wall. I still have a small photo of him in my bedroom now. Also posters of the other Monkees and David Essex.

Used to get Boyfriend magazine. Had a centre fold of the current star we all wanted as a boyfriend eg Cliff Richard, Billy Fury, Elvis, Pat Boone, Adam Faith. Each centre fold was pinned up in my room. No sellotape allowed in case of damage to wallpaper. And, only allowed drawing pins on top corners so everytime room door was opened the whole lot used to fly up at the bottom edge. Goodness, going back a bit.

My mum had posters of Mel Gibson up in the 80s and 90s my daughter still calls him Uncle Mel when she sees one of his films on tv.

Not allowed posters on the wall when I was a child/teen.

At college I had fashion pages out of Nova magazine. Also copied out favourite quotes from poems, songs etc. Can't remember what else!

Terence Stamp as Troy from Far from the Madding Crowd
Robert Redford as The Sundance Kid

Oh dear am I the only one who loved Cliff Richard - 1 was 13 at the time

SueDoku Tue 27-Jul-21 18:25:43

My bedroom wasn't large - but every inch of walls and ceiling was covered with posters and pictures of The Beatles - especially Paul ❤️ ?

Smurf52 Tue 27-Jul-21 18:29:07

Terence Stamp, Mike Nesmith (Monkees), Paul and Barry Ryan, David Essex spring to mind.

Edith81 Tue 27-Jul-21 18:40:14

Cliff Richard and Rock Hudson.

Peter frampton ????

Grandmabatty Tue 27-Jul-21 18:47:48

Jennyluck I'd forgotten about my huge poster of Peter Frampton. Show me the way was a great favourite of mine.

60s girl here - so for me it was Donovan (Psychedelic/Folk Singer), The Who, Cat Stevens, Cliff Richard and Walker Brothers .............. but none of The Beatles. They were just 'not my thing'!

Nannashirlz Tue 27-Jul-21 20:11:29

Michael Jackson and madness lol

GrandmaRosie Tue 27-Jul-21 21:06:20

I had Marc Bolan and my sister had David Cassidy. For some odd reason I also had Cat Stevens?

GrandmaRosie Tue 27-Jul-21 21:09:28

Marc Bolan - was devastated when he was killed in the car crash.

Me too - loved him

Welshy Tue 27-Jul-21 22:02:08

Jackie Magazine here too ..... David Cassidy, Mark Bolan, Donny Osmond, The Bay City Rollers, Slade.
I can remember using sewing pins to hang them on the wallpaper!

I had lots of posters from Jackie magazine on my walls but also had a very large poster of Mick Jagger from The Stones in the Park concert . In fact I still have this poster but not on my bedroom wall ?. It’s in my memory box .
