Who was your first heart throb?

Tommy Steele, he once stepped on my hand at a charity football match in Norfolk. I didn't wash my hand for two days. I also remember him smoking pink cheroots backstage at the theatre. Such memories.

I also quite liked Dennis Waterman who was a teenager in a series called (I think) The Barnstormers. Wrote to him but received no reply

Alias Smith and Jones.......sort of TVs answer to Butch Cassidy and Sundance. Think I preferred the blonde one. It was the only time I ever had a poster on my bedroom wall!

didn't anyone like David McCallum?

No, Envious, sorry, I always thought he was a bit boring.

Oh yes! Still love him as 'Ducky' on NCIS

Guess that's why he lost Jill Ireland.

Can someone help with this one: it would have been on TV about 1960; he was a cowboy and he drunk sasparila.

Like Merlot - Robert Horton from Wagon Train. And Adam Faith.

Just Binged it ( don't use google) It's Will Hutchins.
While looking it up I saw Clint Walker: God, wasn't he gorgeous.
My grand passion as I grew up ( and 'till the day he died) was Steve McQueen.

Mummy, Steve McQueen did have a certain something!

Mummy? I typed Mmmm!

I was just going to write David McCallum when I read what you'd posted. He was in The Man From Uncle with Robert Wagner (I think) and I had his picture on my wall. He was gorgeous.

Davey Jones from the Monkees, replaced by Marc Bolan a few years later..
I think that Marc imprinted on me, as I have only ever dated men with dark curly hair...( to start with that is - DH hasn't much left )

Yummy gran - my sister loved ben murphy - I always saw him as a hybrid of Paul Newman and Ryan O neal - I preferred his partner Pete Duel, and broke my heart when he died

Henrietta,it was Robert Vaughn in the Man From Uncle.

Petra. I agree Cling Walker was rogeous. Didn't he play Cheyenne Body?
I remember some folks calling their new born sons Cheyenne. I wonder how they feel about that now.

Obviously that should be Clint Walker not Cling !! Although maybe not......

Paul Scofield in Man for All Seasons was my first love.
Kinda liked Avon in Blakes 7 a bit later.

Susie, I agree and liked both Paul Newman and Ryan O'Neal, but for me Ben Murphy was more sensitive and boyish, which appealed to me as a teenager. As I got older I was (and still am) attracked to men with long curly hair, as long as it is well looked groomed and clean. So another favourite was Paul Kossoff from the band Free, and in fact my fav song is Alright Now....but that's another thread I guess.

Steve Race - Pat Boone - Richard Chamberlain - Jonny Mathis and John Boulter/Bolter - the tenor in The Black and White Minstrels

My sister, who was about 8 at the time, used to blish when Dickie Henderson came on TV!

Yummygran - I really liked Paul Kossoff as well - love curly black hair

Haha Susieb there must be something in our names then, because my real name is Susie B. wasn't Paul's hair blonde? Either way he was so sexy!

KatyK I was once at a reception at St James' Palace and Dickie Henderson was "on duty" hosting the room until the Duke of Edinburgh came through on his royal progress through the various chambers in the suite. Dickie was lovely - chatting to everyone and cracking jokes - very easy with the assembled company. (Nick Ross was also in our room and he too was very nice.) Your sister would have loved it! She might even have "blished"!
