Oh so did I! I wrote many many short stories where Luke found a cooler chick then Leia (this was of course before RotJ ) but hey...I was 10!
Erin Gray Maren Jensen Lindsay Wagner (bionic woman) (who's mother lived in my neighborhood btw) Lynda Carter Daryl Hannah (in splash)
I wonder if Erin Gray has any idea how many young men she has "inspired". I hope she would be flattered.
Wow, it's about time someone mentioned Nichelle Nichols! Elizabeth Montgomery was really hot too, until I saw her in a movie about Lizzie Borden, then she gave me the willies. Well, for two days anyway, then she was HOT again!
Mark Harmon did such a good job playing Ted Bundy that it gave me the heebie jeebies....I was over it quickly too. I liked seeing that he was more than just a pretty face, talented too.
Probably among the first were Mary Tyler Moore on The Dick Van Dyke Show, Shelley Fabares on The Donna Reed Show, and of course Barbara Eden and Elizabeth Montgomery. --Ted
I'm a little embaressed by this but my very first was a cartoon-- Tinker Bell on Peter Pan & the Pirates. As for humans, Tasha Yar & Beverly Crusher.
*sigh* My first crush was Mark Harmon. All these years later, I still heart him. He's like a fine wine, just gets better with age.
