Who was your first heart throb?

Clint Eastwood as Rowdie Yeates in Rawhide (I wanted to have an Adam's apple like his not knowing girls didnt have them!) who was later replaced by David Cassidy (swoon). I still like DC's early songs but don't think I'd like either chap nowadays if I was to actually meet them.

Gagagran - That is a lovely story. I will tell my sister. As for the blish - this from a woman who was a typist for 37 years! Oops. Out of practice I think.

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"!

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!

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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 )

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.

Mummy? I typed Mmmm!

Mummy, Steve McQueen did have a certain something!

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.

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

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

Guess that's why he lost Jill Ireland.

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

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

didn't anyone like David McCallum?

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!
