Which classic star did you have a crush on as a kid?

[raycastile]

A classic star I had a crush on as a kid...Fay Wray.

There were several modern stars I had crushes on...modern as in early 1980s.

Yes, Fay Wray was an absolute beauty in her day.  I just saw an 80th anniversary print of Kong, and she looks better than ever!  She also is bra-less through most of the first half of the movie.  I'm sure the director was aware of this based on some of the outfits she wore on the ship going to Skull Island!

Evelyn Ankers and Julia Adams.  Got to meet J Adams at the Flashback Weekend Horror Con in Chicago in 04, along w/ Ben Chapman (Creature from Black Lagoon on land).  Both were nice as could be and pleased as punch that someone who was less than 30 at the time actually loved classic B&W films.  Got photos with each and they signed my Creature dvd insert.  Sadly Mr. Chapman died not long after.

One more vote for Evelyn Ankers.

Am I the only one on this or there is elements of truth and authenticity about yesterday's actresses?

I forgot (though I don't know how...) about Susan Oliver.

That's really funny .. as I remember seeing the movie "The Green Eyed Blonde" in my early teens on the Late Show .. really enjoyed the movie.

Susan left us way to soon, Flower. I believe that she was mid- 50's when she died.

She was actually a brilliant and dynamic woman (literally) and was much deeper than many of her colleagues in superficial La- La land.
She eventually got her license to fly planes after overcoming a terrible fear of flying, which was predicated by a bad experience as a passenger on a jumbo jet traveling to Europe.
She also wrote and directed many TV shows during the 1970's- 80's.

I have never seen The Green Eyed Blonde

Green-Eyed Blonde, The - Trailer (1957)

It was really intense for me as a preteen, sitting up alone watching the Late Show ...


As a little little girl, I liked Leo Gorcey and wanted to be an East Side Kid.

Julie Adams (all time beauty candidate) and Evelyn Ankers. 

[D.D. Wookie]

Jerod, you have exquisite taste.  You picked the exact same two ladies I did.

The East Side Kids, Dead End Kids & The Bowery Boys were great and Gorcey was as well in his later films.
I'll have to look for this film, Flower.
Thanks for the heads- up

Maybe Amazon has it in stock

Well, as a teenager, I thought the most beautiful ladies I'd ever seen were ANNE FRANCIS and JILL IRELAND*.  HONEY WEST was a big thing, then, and we all wanted to be like Honey, and kick A$$.  We would even imitate Anne's beauty mark with eyebrow pencil!

Jill Ireland was the first wife of David McCallum, and a popular guest star on MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.

(*Jill's second husband was Charles Bronson)  Both ladies inspired a lot to 14 year olds to try streaking their hair with lemon juice!
