Whcih celebrity/famous person do/did you have a crush on that almost nobody else does?

[RedCloud]

I'll start!



I just go ape thinking about Jane Goodall!

[LeftinOH]

1. Carroll Baker- she's almost 80 years old, and I don't care:

[RT Atlanta]

5. beautiful

I've never heard of her... nice to see a "natural" body too rather than the breast implanted plastic surgery gargoyles that comprise much of hollywood

[nolabear]

21. That's a helluva dress right there.

Almost as good as Marilyn's in Some Like it Hot.

[P. Galore]

49. She was a classic badass in The Big Country. nt

[Enrique]

53. so was Burl Ives

let's see how off-topic we can get. ;-)

[Lasher]

155. Wow, I'll say. I'll never forget the scene where the threw that shotgun in the floor.

Man, what a smackdown he inflicted on Maj. Henry Terrill!

Is that off topic enough?

[TZ]

2. Well lets see, I think some people here know this very well about me...

Lets see who can guess the kinda obvious..:popcorn:

[Dr. Strange]

3. Everyone knows of your love for a certain obnoxious comedian.

[TZ]

4. GAAA!!

Scarred for life. Thanks a lot. If there is anyone who begs to be the middle segment of the human centipede its him...

[KamaAina]

9. Hmmmm... did he sing "Take Off" with Bob and Doug McKenzie?

[geardaddy]

12. Koo roo koo koo, koo roo koo koo

I love the McKenzie Bros.

[TZ]

14. LOL. Those hosers are hilarious.

And yes, I believe he sang something with them.

[Rosie1223]

30. I know! I know!

[Rosie1223]

32. No, wait it's....

I can't keep up.

[TZ]

33. Yummy- and he won the game for the Nats

Tonight . But there are a lot of people with crushes on Mr. Werth. I run a fan page for him ya know- and Jonathan Frakes?! :drool: ...

[Demoiselle]

65. I felt kinda sorry for Jason until that game.

Now he is dead to me.

[Patiod]

103. That picture makes me sad

Miss seeing him in that particular cap.

(oh, and I hate to admit it, because we're not talking Mensa here, but my heart beats a little faster when Cole is on the mound, and not because of his pitching skilz)

[WinkyDink]

56. My husband took classes with JF's professor father. :-)

[Patiod]

102. Did you know he was a Nittany Lion?

A little before my time, but still...

[CherokeeDem]

160. Agreed....

Yeah....had a little crush on him for a long time...

I'm a scifi geek....

[Zorra]

6. I've had a crush on John Trudell forever.

:loveya:

[KamaAina]

16. A truly awesome human being.

No crush, seeing as how I'm a hetero male, but still. :yourock:

[Zorra]

17. I met him once,

after a performance.

A friend knew him and introduced us after the show, I didn't have any idea that he was there. He talked to me for awhile. I was completely tongue tied (a first for me) and probably came of as pretty dumb, but I think he got why. And celebrities don't impress me at all. He is just soooo nice, and emanates more gravitas and kindness than anyone I have ever met.
:loveya:

[MiddleFingerMom]

27. He gave a poetry reading one evening at a community radio convention I attended.

.
.
.
Incredible man. Incredible talent.
.
.
.
I would have LOVED to have spoken with him for awhile after the performance (it
wasn't a big audience -- maybe a few more than the usual "celebrity poet" poetry
reading, but (and I'm drawing no parallels with YOU, Zorra :)), he was almost
IMMEDIATELY swarmed by 4 or 5 women who were just as intense and just as
obvious about their intentions as any rock-and-roll groupies ever.
.
.
.
I don't know whether he indulged in that opportunity, but I know he COULD have
partookened his brains out.
.
.
.
He WAS a devastatingly handsome man.
.
.
.
And GEEEEEZZZZ... it was John FREAKIN' Trudell!!!!!
.
.
.

[astral]

157. I love him too, maybe we can have a thread on him!

I first heard his music off someone's cassette, which was being copied and passed around, then I saw him live amazingly close to where I lived at the time.

It's his music and poetry put together, it's just poetry, it's what his poetry is saying, it's the calm powerful presence he has, it's all these things together or separate.

[geardaddy]

7. here's mine

[siligut]

10. I love her too, she is the voice of Jessie in Toy Story

First adored her in Toys, as the android sister to Robin Williams.

[geardaddy]

11. She is the awesome.

[GoCubsGo]

67. I prefer her brother.

Although, I must say that she is aging much better than he.

[LynneSin]

8. When I was 6 I had a massive crush on Engelbert Humperdinck

I have no clue why other than it was one of the few albums my parents owned and I would listen to "Please Release Me" all of the time.

[PassingFair]

43. I decorated his dressing room once.....LONG story.

It involves my mother and a couple of backstage passes.....

[ScreamingMeemie]

100. May be a long story...but priceless.

[PassingFair]

101. Especially the part where he refused to deplane when he saw me...

at the end of the gangway with a baby in my arms!

:rofl:

:hi:

How are you doing?????!!!1!

[KamaAina]

13. Lauri Hendler (the middle sister on Gimme A Break!)

[HopeHoops]

15. Gilda Radner.

[lukasahero]

18. I'm confessing my age (and unspeakable dorkiness) here but

I still have a crush on Carl Sagan.



BTW - You can follow the JaneGoodallInst on Twitter. I agree - she's wonderful.

[freshwest]

141. One of those special human beings who helped enlighten us. They're always beautiful.

[blueamy66]

19. STEVE PERRY

LOVE HIM

[madmom]

24. Oh, I loved Steve Perry too!

[blueamy66]

39. can't have my boy!

:-)

Still wear the necklace that my Mom bought for me when I was 21....the same musical note that Steve wore! It's a bit embarrassing when I explain that no, I don't play a musical instrument :-)

[madmom]

45. LOL, that guy could sing couldn't he. I don't play anything either but I know what I like.

[blueamy66]

51. Oh yeah he could sing.

I still get goosebumps watching him in concert on youtube.com.

And he still looks good today.

I only saw Journey in concert 11 times. :-)

[madmom]

63. Nice..I am green, with envy.

:fistbump:

[blueamy66]

78. I just wish that I could have met him in person...

ALONE!

I tell my fiance that if Steve Perry ever came to our house, I'd do him on the kitchen table in front of my fiance.

My fiance seems to understand. :-)

[madmom]

99. AH, what would we do without fantasies? LOL, cool fiance, sounds like a keeper.

[blueamy66]

107. He's a keeper for sure....

but I still love me some Steve Perry!

[madmom]

109. Always!!!

[freshwest]

139. All 3 of the Steves around that time: Steve Perry, Steve Winwood, and Steve Tyler. Equally.

[hifiguy]

20. Mine probably isn't all that unique

but it's gotta be Valerie Bertinelli. She still looks smokin' hot. And she's a good liberal Dem to boot.

[nolabear]

22. I think yours is pretty common. At least according to my husband.

He's just pitiful when she's on. I choose to turn a blind eye to it.

[TheCentepedeShoes]

23. Richard Feynman

The bongo player and physicist

[hunter]

147. And painter of nudes...

http://www.museumsyndicate.com/artist.php?artist=380

[stanwyck]

25. Christopher Walken and Willem Dafoe

Had crushes on both of them for years.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

26. Ah...Arlo Guthrie!

Even though I'm probably old enough to be his mom!

I always found him to be gently sexy...

Plus I loved how he played the guitar.

[MiddleFingerMom]

28. Carol Kane (Latka's wife on "Taxi"):

She MAY have been this age when she did that role above in "Young Frankenstein".
.

.
.

.

[MilesColtrane]

46. Let's not forget her portrayal of a world weary, compassionate prostitute...

in "Cinderella Liberty".

[GoCubsGo]

70. I loved her in "The Princess Bride"

They couldn't have picked a better person for that role.

[RedSpartan]

79. You mean "The Princess Bride"

[MiddleFingerMom]

81. I DID mean "The Princess Bride" (one of my FAVORITE movies).

.
.
.
I kept trying to picture a scene with her and Billy Crystal and Peter Boyle
and, for some reason, couldn't visualize it.
.
.
Now, I know why.
.
.
:rofl:
.
.

[alphafemale]

29. Randolph Mantooth

[Pithlet]

31. He was my first tv crush that I can remember.

I wanted to be a firefighter because of that show.

[GoCubsGo]

68. Mine, too!

To this day, I still have a thing for firemen. That includes the ones from the Forest Service, who fight wildfires.

[TheMightyFavog]

34. Amy Jo Johnson, The Pink Power Ranger.

I was a horny 12 year old at the time, sue me.

[burrfoot]

64. Her au natural pic was one of my favorites when I was a teenager.

:evilgrin:

:toast:

[driver8]

83. Great choice!! What a cutie!! n/t

[Rosie1223]

35. Taterguy

[OneGrassRoot]

55. ...

:rofl:

[CrownPrinceBandar]

36. Chrissie.........

I've had a thing for her since I first heard The Pretenders back in HS.

[El Supremo]

37. I don't know if nobody elde does...

[MiddleFingerMom]

52. Needs more leather. n/t

[applegrove]

38. Tommy Lee Jones in "the Fugitive".

[P. Galore]

50. Yeah, I'm with you on that one. nt

[WinkyDink]

57. "I don't care, Richard."

[Demoiselle]

66. Tommy Lee Jones in anything.

I guess it's a pattern with me. I love the tough guys.
Several centuries ago I had crushes on Charles Bronson and James Coburn simultaneously when they were both supporting players in The Great Escape.
(Yes, I liked Jim Garner and Steve McQueen too....but more like a sister.)

[applegrove]

82. I think I liked TLJones because he seemed to be so smart.

[Demoiselle]

105. Of course, you're right.

His smarts always show through, even when he plays a tough guy. It's a nice combination...Harvard and West Texas. (REAL West Texas, not fake Dubya Texas.)
I have no uplifting reasons for my affection for Charles Bronson and company.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

40. Famous conductor.

In 1968, he was conducting the Houston Symphony and chasing Mia Farrow, who had just become a huge movie star with "Rosemary's Baby". She also happened to be married to Frank Sinatra and separated from him at the time. Previn was married to Dory Previn, who wrote the theme to "Valley of the Dolls".

I was going to the Symphony a lot. I was in junior high. Symphony Board looked pretty stupid because they thought Mahler and Nielsen were too radical to play. Funded by oil money. Money but no taste. They fired Mr. Previn for his indiscretions with no notice.

I was told that in the 1990s, the Symphony Board hired a gay conductor, Christoph Eschenbach, specifically so there would be no more skirt-chasing scandals.

[WinkyDink]

58. Dang! I expected Zubin Mehta!

[GoCubsGo]

69. I expected my favorite obscure crush

Keith Lockhart of the Boston Pops, whom I have had a crush on ever since he got that job:

[momto3]

71. I met him once.

He was my conducting professor when I studied music in Cincinnati - he was assistant director of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra at the time. He was quite arrogant. I guess he thought teaching a bunch of music majors was beneath him. But, I will admit to a crush on him at the time. An amusing story (?) - he dated a student in my class while he was our professor.

[Patiod]

104. I thought you were going to go with my boy Ricardo

[freshwest]

142. Wow, we are contemporaries in time and space. I loved going to the concerts there.

[givemebackmycountry]

41. You are going to think I am SO weird BUT... here goes.

That's right.
I did it.

I like smart women with a sense of humor.
That's why I hang out here!

[monmouth]

114. Oh, I love her too and I'm hetero. Witty and not to be underestimated

as a pushover. I've seen her on Hardball knife some people in the back and they smiled. That's talent baby!

[csziggy]

42. Definitely showing my age - Ilya Kuryakin

Even in real life forty five years later he's still hot as Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard.

[WinkyDink]

59. "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." was the BEST for male eye-candy (except for "Wild, Wild West"!)!

[csziggy]

72. I did have a thing for Artemus Gordon, too

It figures that I would like the characters who were played by really intelligent and educated actors. Both David McCallum and Ross Martin were brilliant men who would have been successful at any career they choose. It's a shame that Ross Martin died so young - he should have had a much longer life.

[WinkyDink]

95. His role preceded the disguises of "Mission Impossible."

[astral]

158. +1 !

That was when I was a kid, I didn't even know or care what his name was, I just liked to look at him.

[nytemare]

44. I'm glad someone else mentioned Sagan, here is another.

I like interesting people with distinctive voices, who may be a little bit unusual. Or, a lot.

Thanks for starting this thread.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

73. Chad was replaced by John Denver.

[WinkyDink]

96. I've been a fan for 46 years; saw Chad, Joe, and Mike 2 week-ends ago. I know ALL

about the CMT!
http://chadmitchelltrio.com/

[Richardo]

60. Susan Swain on C-SPAN

[Tikki]

61. Steve Ihnat....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Ihnat

Some here will remember...
He passed away before he was 40 years old...:(

Talented, talented actor...


Tikki

[mvd]

62. I'll go through my current crush list

The ones that are most unknown are soap stars Sharon Case, Adrienne Frantz, Elizabeth Hendrickson, and Yvonne Zima. Also singers Kelly Ogden and Matisse.

The others seem to be at least moderately known (like Alison Sudol, my newest crush Alison Brie, and Alison Lohman) to very well known (like Kaley Cuoco, Zooey Deschanel, Natalie Portman, Salma Hayek, Amber Tamblyn.)

[driver8]

84. I work at Warner Bros. right next to the stage where they shoot "Big Bang Theory".

Once in awhile I will see Kaley Cuoco hanging out front of the stage. She is adorable!

[MrScorpio]

74. While everyone else was jonesin' on Farrah

This was my favorite Angel…

[Rowdyboy]

75. Inger Stevens...."Katie the Farmers Daughter" from a 1960's sitcom and Micky Dolenz....

of the Monkees

What can I say-I was a confused young teen...

[kwassa]

112. I only had the Inger Stevens crush ...

[Skittles]

121. she was lovely

such a sad story

[Brigid]

76. Victor Garber

Here's one where you might recognize him: As Thomas Andrews in "Titanic."



And here's one he probably wishes would just go away: As Jesus in the 1973 film "Godspell"

[blueamy66]

80. I find him attractive as well.

:-)

[Manifestor_of_Light]

89. Mr. Garber looks like a thoroughly nice guy.

Yes, he is attractive. I think he was one of the best things in "Titanic".

He also has played the Devil in "Damn Yankees".


The last movie I saw him in was "Milk" where he played Mayor Moscone.

[Frank Cannon]

93. Garber was an awesome Jesus

I love that movie, and Garber's portrayal of Jesus is actually my favorite ever--clown makeup and everything.

[Pool Hall Ace]

77. former RAF pilot John Peters

Here is the frightening image that was broadcast when he was first captured as a POW during Operation Desert Storm:




Here is a more recent pic of the dishy bloke:

[driver8]

85. My big crush as a kid was "Bailey" on WKRP in Cincinatti, Jan Smithers!

I thought she was WAY hotter than Loni Anderson.

[Frank Cannon]

94. I was in the Bailey camp too

And I always thought Mary Ann was WAY hotter than Ginger, too.

[driver8]

111. A guy I work with -- his father is dating Mary Ann. I'm serious...

I live in Los Angeles and work at Warner Bros. Studios. This guy at work told me that his Dad is dating Dawn Wells.

[geardaddy]

132. Absolutely

She was much hotter than Loni

[darkstar3]

86. I am the only person I know IRL who thinks she's sexy,

but the only reason I was able to sit through the Twilight movie I was dragged to was Kristen Stewart.
Go ahead, tell me she can't act. I don't care.

[JonLP24]

117. I think she can

and I never seen any of the Twilight movies. Probably why I still think she can act. I thought she was good in Panic Room and excellent in Speak.

[dawg]

133. Way too young for me ...

Especially now that I realize she was the little girl in Panic Room. But she *is* a really pretty young woman. I would expect lots of people to have a crush on her.

[Broken_Hero]

87. .....

Katey Segal:

[XemaSab]

88. Good choice

I got all the way through the first season of Sons of Anarchy before going "Holy shit! It's Locke's girlfriend from LOST!" :D

[Broken_Hero]

92. She is awesome

in Sons of Anarchy, I love that show to death...:)

I've always been very partial to Katey and try to watch anything she is in, a very talented, and beautiful woman....

[Maine-ah]

110. and I was saying...

holy shit, that's Peg Bundy from Married With Children!

[Flaxbee]

137. and Leela from Futurama!

:D

Yes, my husband's secret crush is Leela

[betharina]

106. she is also a wonderful singer...

her cover of "bird on a wire"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubDOFO6rZnQ&feature=related

[Dystopian]

90. God.

And I still love him after all these years...


peace~

[snagglepuss]

119. Does god have a name?

[Dystopian]

126. Yes : )

:hi:
His name is Ian.

Here he is now....still spacing out.
Awesome post in political videos:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=385&topic_id=572205

My God -
*Ian is my god - how I remember him*

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dh0woT7NkKI

People -- what have you done --
locked Him in His golden cage.
Made Him bend to your religion --
Him resurrected from the grave.
He is the god of nothing --
if that's all that you can see.
You are the god of everything --
He's inside you and me.
So lean upon Him gently
and don't call on Him to save you
from your social graces
and the sins you used to waive.
The bloody Church of England --
in chains of history --
requests your earthly presence at
the vicarage for tea.
And the graven image you-know-who --
with His plastic crucifix --
he's got him fixed --
confuses me as to who and where and why --
as to how he gets his kicks.
Confessing to the endless sin --
the endless whining sounds.
You'll be praying till next Thursday to
all the gods that you can count.



peace~

[Manifestor_of_Light]

91. Anybody else remember the Scud Stud?

Arthur Kent, not to be confused with Arthur Dent:


http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XOa7roZi1HU/S0tMI4IafCI/AAAAAAAAApw/o9SXKgMpW5U/s400/Arthur+kent.jpg

[WinkyDink]

97. Oh, HELLO! For sure!

[Bertha Venation]

98. Jodie Foster, ever since I saw this Annie Liebowitz photo

[lukasahero]

123. Does Jodie Foster counts as an "obscure" crush?

Isn't half the world in love with her? ;)

(I know I AM!)

[czernobog]

108. Yeah, she was a nasty, corrupt politician, but...

Benazir Bhutto:

[valerief]

113. When I was eleven, I thought Jerry Lewis was hot. I'm not the sharpest knive in

the drawer.

[BOG PERSON]

115. STEVE BUSCEMI

i want to go swimming in those big blue eyes of his!

[BOG PERSON]

116. also young Orson Welles

in a totally platonic kind of way.

[Supply Side Jesus]

118. Carey Mulligan

upcoming actress, she is going to be the well respect as her great talents dictate.


http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTQ2MTQyMzYzMV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwODY0ODI4Mg@@._V1._SY314_CR5,0,214,314_.jpg

[glinda]

120. Harpo Marx

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

143. Me too!!!

[Skittles]

122. Topher Grace

yes INDEED

[Arkansas Granny]

124. Willie Nelson, gray hair, wrinkles and all.

[RedCloud]

125. I had another crush: Benazir Bhutto!

Farewell!

[smirkymonkey]

127. Ciaran Hinds

Older, but sexy Irish actor.

[DevonRex]

153. You aren't alone. He has magnificent bone structure.

[dawg]

128. Amy Poehler

I just think she's super-cute and funny.

[geardaddy]

134. Speaking of SNL actors

I think Nassim Pedrad is cute.

[BlueIris]

129. Anthony Rapp.

Yes, I know he's really, really gay. Still cute.

[arbusto_baboso]

130. Virginia Madsen.

before Sideways, when I mentioned that to people, most would say, "WHO?"

Now most folks know who I'm talking about, but still don't understand my crush.

[Flaxbee]

138. Have you ever seen "Electric Dreams"?

Loved that movie growing up. I didn't have a crush on her, so much as I wanted to *be* her - she was (is) so very pretty...

[arbusto_baboso]

151. Hadn't even heard of it.

I'll have to rent it now. Hellooooo, Netflix...

[dawg]

131. I also find this one really attractive.

Even though I don't completely agree with her on every issue.

[raccoon]

135. Christopher Lee. nt

[BrendaBrick]

136. The actor who played in the "Billy Jack" movies in the 1960's

[angel823]

149. that would be

Tom Laughlin. I had a crush on him, too.

[freshwest]

140. Very unique person. I'll bet no one ever heard of him.

Vincent Ventresca.

[Sabriel]

144. Jens Stoltenberg

The Norwegian prime minister:



Le Rowr Rowr!

[RedCloud]

145. Laura Flanders! There, I said it!

[cbdo2007]

146. Rachel Dratch

She's my celebrity crush for some reason. I don't know what it is but I find her extremely attractive and hilarious. Even if it was between her and Tina Fey and Amy Poehler and Maya Rudolph - any other SNL woman, I would pick Rachel Dratch. My wife thinks this reflects poorly on her that I must be into strange women. Hmmmmm, maybe :)

[Tikki]

148. I have a grand crush on these two gentlemen....Steve Berlin and Mike Watt..

Tikki

[Common Sense Party]

150. Sarah Palin.

:hide:

[MrsBrady]

152. I'm still in love with

Michael Landon
and
Johnny Carson


and they were always waaay to old for me.
I don't miss very many celebrities, but I miss them.

[pa28]

154. Janine Turner.

I lived in the same neighborhood near Seattle when she was filming "northern exposure". Personally she seemed nice and always had time for a smile and a "hello". She was definitely crushworthy.

[Duppers]

156. "that almost nobody else does?" ...Wes Studi

or Daniel Day-Lewis or any character from Last of the Mohicans, for that matter, but you said that 'almost nobody else does'....so, that'd have to be Wes Studi, a full Cherokee. I LOVE his VOICE. ;)

[nolabear]

159. Oh, okay. I've been avoiding this, but...Harry Anderson.

Back in the day he was a big crush. Now he's rather a mystery. He left show business to live in New Orleans and run a club there, and after Katrina tried to be a force for good, but I think it kind of kicked his ass. He's now in small politics in Ashville, NC. But in the Night Court days I loved his geekiness, and for some reason I am a sucker for a magician.
