Did you have a schoolgirl crush on a film star?

Oh Yes, James Dean. I can so well remember going to see his second film(Rebelwith a Cause), all by myself at a local cinema. All of 14 years old, came home to find my parents had some friends over for a meal (did not call them dinner parties back then), I remember walking in and very dramatically, putting down my handbag, then stating loudly 'I am in love', turned on my heel and as I left the room finished the sentence - ' With a dead man'!!! Then went to my bedroom to cry.

I can also remember sitting in coffee bars surrounded with photos of him, and going though Rebel, word by word, - I saw it so many times I knew it off by heart. Had bracelet, necklet and I still have the scrap book I made then.

As time went on, I did have other film idols, but none like the intensity of Dean - we were called DeanAgers.

I think I am still a bit in love with Clint!

Ooh, liked CE as Rowdy Yates. My crush was Kenneth More, thought he was wonderful. Each year around my birthday I would write to him for a signed photo. (What a sad cow I was). Accidentally on purpose kept a copy of his autobiography which really belongs to Bexley Borough.

Dirk Bogarde in the Doctor films.

Oh! I see I can buy the box set

Like Dirk too.

Robert Horton when I was very young.

I too was in love with Dirk Bogarde it was years and years before I realised he was gay

Robert Redford - saw him at the cinema in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and then in The Sting when I was in the sixth form - sigh...

Peter Wingard - I think he was gay too!

Oh and Sidney Poitier after I saw Please Sir

Gregory Peck

yes, Dirk Bogarde for me,

Ilya Kuriyakin in The Man from UNCLE

A bit later - Robert Redford as the Sundance Kid.

David Essex in That’ll Be the Day.

David Cassidy in The Partridge Family.

Yes, it was Michael Landon who played Little Joe in Bonanza then went on to Little House on the Prairie.

Dirk Bogarde

Amazing how many of these stars were gay. James Dean was forced to hide his sexuality and it was probably one of the things that led to his sad death.

Guy Rolfe.
I had a book of film star pictures, remember those anyone? but then I am an oldie!

Oh yes and Yul Brynner how could I forget him

Clint Eastwood was lovely but it was Paul Newman for me! Saw him in Sweet Bird of Youth and that was it!

David Essex for me - he was such a good looking man and, actually, still is

Burt Lancaster - But I am getting on a bit.

I fancied Warren Beatty after seeing him in Bonnie and Clyde. Was Clyde gay also? (Not Warren).

Also Omar Sharif in Lawrence of Arabia, Mayerling, and of course Doctor Zhivago.

Omar sharif, oh my goodness in Lawrence of Arabia.

I also had a crush on rudolf Nureyev

A french actor Alain Delon.

Pete Duel - Alias Smith & Jones
