Well, she's wasn't my first celebrity crush, but definitely my biggest (I had that poster in my bedroom back in ninety-something):
Edit: Hope it's not against the rules!

Please name the person in your photos. I don't recognize a good many of these people. It may be obvious to you, but not others.
For me it was Linda Carter, some of these others I was fond of as well.
Oh, man... Same here. I was 8 or maybe 9 years old, in a department store shopping for clothes with my mom, when we walked past a carboard bin full of black&white celebrity posters: rock stars, movie stars, television stars... My attention was initially drawn to a poster of Mick Jagger from that Hyde Park concert after Brian Jones' death (and I actually did buy that poster, had it on my bedroom wall for half a dozen years). But then I saw this iconic image from One Million BC
...and it was all over. It was like getting struck by lightning. I would call it an "epiphany" except that usually epiphanies involve an enlightenment or attaining some higher level of consciousness, and this simply reduced me to a blubbering mono-syllabic mass of thrumming hormones. Which lasts to this day, almost 50 years later, whenever I see Ms. Welch. Hnnngggg....
When I was 13 or 14 my cousins gave me several back issues of Creem Magazine. Somewhere in one issue was this picture of Ruby Starr:
To say I was gaga would be an understatement.
Frankly I can barely stomach her music, and I've never been able to get through an entire tune by her with either Grey Ghost or Black Oak Arkansas...but I never missed an opportunity to check her out on TV or in pictures. Not sure any of them even met the high standard (sic) set by that first picture of her I ever saw though.

Oh dear heaven alive..... It was just that voice paired up with that trailer park bad girl look. I don't know if my aging heart can stand it... LOL..... Remember, the thread was about your earliest crush or some such.. However I never lost my affinity for trailer park chicks...
Valerie still has it going on... My wife is addicted to that cooking show channel and Val seems to be quite the celebrity on that station. Only reason I don't insist my wife change the channel...
Whew, so glad THAT didn't happen!!!
That makes one of us... Honestly, I debated PMing the mods and just having them close the thread but I'm not about to let a few bad apples spoil the bunch. There have been some cute stories scattered among the soiled tissues.
Aunty Jack - the lass on the bike
You have to tell me what movie this is, that looks pretty awesome.
She had Invalid Link Removed on the box,
From the wiki,
The Aunty Jack Show was a Logie Award–winning Australian television comedy series that ran from 1972 to 1973. Produced by and broadcast on ABC-TV, the series attained an instant cult status that persists to the present day.
The lead character, Aunty Jack was a unique comic creation — an obese, moustachioed, gravel-voiced transvestite, part Invalid Link Removed and part pantomime dame — who habitually solved any problem by knocking people unconscious or threatening to 'rip their bloody arms off'. Visually, she was unmistakable, dressed in a huge, tent-like blue velvet dress, Invalid Link Removed socks, workboots, and a golden boxing glove on her right hand. She rode everywhere on a Invalid Link Removed motorcycle and referred to everyone as "me little lovelies" — when she was not uttering her familiar threat: "I'll rip yer bloody arms off!", a phrase which immediately passed into the vernacular.

Before my time....but surprised I didn't see her here. I Think We're Alone Now - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
