Did you have a childhood crush? (famous)
I had a big crush on Haley Mills and by the time I saw "The Parent Trap" she was already grown up. But I still found her pretty fabulous--still do.

14. No way!!!
Edited on Mon Dec-20-04 12:47 PM by Zing Zing Zingbah
I didn't know he died. When did this happen?
How sad, if true. He still would be very young.

He was three years older than me which means he was 27.

10. Donny Osmond
He was so cute, and when I was about 7, I had the biggest crush on him. I'd read "Tiger Beat" and all those other stupid magazines, and I had all his records that I would play on one of those cheap kiddie turntables.

39. Not a Bobby fan, but LOVED the show (and the theme!!!)
Like a beautiful child growing up free and wild
Full of hopes and full of fears
Full of laughter, full of tears.
Full of dreams to last the years, in Seattle

29. My friend and I played superheroes called the
Monkee Girls. The magic words to transform us to supergirl status: she would yell DavyMickey! and I would reply PeterMike!

And then we would solve mysteries. It was cool.

I always had to be Davy Jones, and could never be Davy Jones' girlfriend.

Can't believe it didn't warp my sexual preferences....
