    Many of the people mentioned are not exactly what you'd call "celebrities".....

    this was the 80s, the criteria for celebrity status was a lot more relaxed!

    oh, and someone mentioned the guy from seaquest dsv- yum!

    Alicia Silverstone.
    I wanted to do things to her but was too young to know what exactly.


    I know now though.

    Yes! I saw that too and suddenly remembered that I used to like him. I also used to love Ray D'arcy (he still has a cheeky boyish look) and I'm ashamed to admit that I liked Jason Donovan but that's only because everyone was into the whole Scott & Charlene thing in Neighbours at the time. Swooon! :D

    River Phoenix, he was cute *and* talented, and Jonathan Brandis sortof too.

    I must be cursed...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 73 ✭✭monkeymagic


    That scene in The Lost Boys made it all worthwhile. Another Corey classic 'Dream A Little Dream' seems to have slipped into oblivion though... it was a weird movie but the soundtrack was fun.

    My first serious crush was on Nancy McKeown [Jo from Facts of Life], then as I got a bit older Erika Eleniak [Shauni from Baywatch] & Wendy James :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,090 ✭✭✭jill_valentine


    Ah Ray Darcy...its the eyes...Other than him I was madly in love with...*cough* Chesney Hawkes. I have since received therapy and rehabilitation.

    Lorraine Pearson (Five Star)

    The kid from The Goonies...WHAT was his name...was it Mikey?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 56 ✭✭Salubri


    In 1982 I saw ET...
    I fell in love with the little girl (a bit older than me) and I am still besotted with her to this day *grin*

    Hmmm back in the 80s I had a thing for Jason Donovan, not that I knew it was 'gay' to like other boys hehe. :o

    Once I was a bit older & had slightly more sense, the males of 90210(except Brian Austin Green) and Melrose Place were most appreciated, especially Dillon(Luke Perry) & Jake(Grant Show). There's just summat about a rebel with a motorbike mmmmm :p

    Thanks Mr. Spelling!

    Ah the memories of her jumping out of the big cake in Under Siege. Classic stuff. ;)

    Belinda Carlisle. And still is, nothings changed. I'll get her one day

    "oh no not all 3 of Bananarama at the same time! holy sh|t they've taken their tops off!"

    And then I'd wake up (& unstick the sheets :D ). Was never into their music - that was for girls - but they were easy on the eyes - especially the dark haired one


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,517 ✭✭✭irlirishkev


    I got slagged about it in school, and I bet I get slagged about it again.. but I used to fancy the original 'Tracy' from Coronation Street... Hubba Hubba!

    Kevin.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,517 ✭✭✭irlirishkev


    I should probably point out by the way, that I refer to the actress playing tracy in her early teens (you know the one).. no younger!!

    Found her -

    For me it was David Charvet from Baywatch and Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing - two very fine specimens ;)
