Mine was Paul McCartney in the 1960s.

Dirk Bogarde

Without question, Sean Connery. He was so handsome in those early James Bond films. My school rough book, which we were allowed to cover, had many pictures of him plastered all over

Captain Scarlet .

Most of the above, although definitely NOT Sean Connery (too hairy). But Yes to David McCullum, Marc Bolan and Scott Walker.

Richard Chamberlain! In the days before video I used to tape record Dr Kildare and listen to it again - and again - and again!!

Cesar Romero as the Cisco Kid.

Richard Chamberlain when I was little.
When I was early teens: Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Scott Walker, Steve Marriott, Paul Jones (Manfred Mann), Brian Jones (Stones).

Con Cluskey from the Bachelors

Dirk Bogarde, before being gay was a 'thing'. And Frank Ifield.

Davy Jones from the Monkees.

The actors Robert Taylor and David Niven, but certainly Richard Chamberlain as Dr Kildare!

Billy Fury when I was about 10!

Think Rowdy Yates (Clint Eastwood) was in Rawhide, not W.T.

Although quite young, I also fancied Robert Horton as Flint McCollough in W.T. Tall, dark, handsome.

Calendargirl Thu 24-Oct-19 16:31:04

Also fancied Ilya Kuryakin in Man from UNCLE. I collected all the cards from bubble gum or something to make a HUGE picture of him and Napoleon Solo.
Still got them in the loft somewhere. Collector’s Item. ?

I loved Billy Fury also such a shame he died an early death,I also liked Eden Kane who only had one or two hits before changing his name and his faith his brother also was a favourite of mine he was called Peter Starsted I dont think he had many hits but they where both very attractive

Elvis, for me!

The ultimate king of rock n' roll!

When I was very little I wanted to marry Paddington Bear.

Daddima Thu 24-Oct-19 17:13:13

Richard Chamberlain, then Paul McCartney, but Celtic captain Billy McNeill was my hero, especially after I had met him!

Gaunt47 Thu 24-Oct-19 18:19:28

Tommy Steele, goodness know why but couldn't get enough of him: films, TV, radio. Not for long though, along came Cliff. My dream boat.

Davida1968 Thu 24-Oct-19 18:23:36

Doug McClure (as "Trampas", in the series "The Virginian"), followed closely by George Harrison.

Is it only me, but this poster starts "question" threads (and quite a few of them!) but never comes back to post on the thread that they have started? confused

Huw Thomas, the ITN newsreader, he was gorgeous! I wrote to him when I was 14,and he replied, but I folded and unfolded the letter so many times it fell apart! I had an idea that I was going to go to London, meet him, and marry him, but it never came to pass. I managed to find an address and wrote again about 12 or 13 years ago, received another very nice reply, plus a requested photo of himself back in the day. He was in his 80s by then, but still very handsome and distinguished looking. Sadly, he has since died.

Kirk Douglas - years before most of you on here could read a film magazine.
He's still alive, 103 in Dec.
