Seriously? No one else has Jenny Agguter from Logan's run? 

I had brain overload trying to decide whether to look at her lovely face, sublime breasts or tittilating flashes of bare skin.

Jenny Agutter was back-up crush

Crave my indulgence

William Shatner as Kirk- utterly drop dead gorge.

Now- Tom Hardy wpuld be right up there.

Yes, absolutely - but she wasn't the first, I didn't see it until a couple of years later... eye-opening to say the least! Before that it had only been The Railway Children .

I'm quite sure Jenny is a big part of the teenage lives of a lot of men our age .

Even as a straight man I completely understand .

The question does say 'actor' in a hopefully non-gender-specific way, anyway!

I can remember that back in the 70s I had a massive crush for the actress Judi Bowker.
She of Black Beauty fame.

Any of you chaps prepared to share who your first 'star' crush was?

Incredible! I saw the thread title and thought 'Judy Bowker in Black Beauty'. Apparently I mis-spell her name in my head! But yeah, Judi Bowker in Black Beauty, and seeing her picture, I know why!

I was going to say Jenny Agutter but had Walkabout or Equus in mind, not just flashes of bare skin.

Also Jenny Hanley on Magpie. Recently spotted at Comicon and a fine looking woman in her mid 60's.

It was probably Jodie Foster in Freaky Friday.

Which may well be wrong in all sorts of ways.

And yes, I have fond memories of Jenny Agutter, Caroline Munro, Jenny Hanley, Louise Jameson from Dr Who, Alexandra Bastedo, Britt Ekland in The Wicker Man, Mary and Madeleine Collinson in Twins of Evil.  Many of us are obviously of a similar age.

The one I saw her in was 'Candleshoe'. She was 15 at the time - although I was 10, so it's probably OK .

The interesting thing is that although I had no idea who she was until years later, I knew even at the time she had that 'something' - star quality and obvious acting talent, even though the film was pretty ordinary really.

For me it was probably Melissa Joan Hart as Sabrina the Teenage Witch (actually it was her as Clarissa before that when I was at primary school)

Re Shatner- it's also his personality as Kirk. Dead sexy- a glint in his eye.

I also have a real weak spot for Cillian Murphy and Gaspard Ulliel who played Young Hannibal

If I were straight, I don't think there's many more beautiful women than Julia Roberts, espcially in this dress:



Gaspard:

Oh, and sticking with my own age group, there was Kim Richards in Escape to Witch Mountain (she was also the little girl who meets a grisly end in Assault on Precinct 13, although I didn't see that until several years later).

Unfortunately she has gone on to struggle with substance abuse issues and to star in some dreadful reality TV show, I believe.

Yep @dogload, Drop dead gorgeous she was.. here's another

And although not an actor, DG when young was simply beautiful

Not an actress, but Debbie Harry. I hadn't thought girls were anything other than annoying until then.

Not my first crush but Denise Richards is drop dead gorgeous.

joes16

Definitely Olivia Newton John in Grease.

Didn't even know she was in that film. I liked her in that Bond film.

oh yeah she was Dr Christmas, lol, you've got to love the character names in Bond films!

I've never seen the whole film, but as a teenager I may have repeatedly watched a certain scene involving her and Neve Campbell with Piers Brosnan in a film called Wild Things.
