Do any of you have huge crushes on any classic film stars? Does the mere image of anyone simply sweep you up into a dreamlike swoon? Do any of them make you wish you were young at the same time they were, just so that you might have a chance to win their hearts?
I've got to admit, I have screen idol crushes on Rudolph Valentino, Errol Flynn, and Gregory Peck (be still my heart!). Also Marlene Dietrich and Greta Garbo.
Such gorgeous creatures! *swoon!*

As I get older I like Gregory Peck. He is in several of my personal favorites: "Big Country" and "Spellbound" immediately come to mind, 2 of my top 10's. -

Mon, September 20, 2004 - 2:52 PMJean Simmons and Jane Leigh's names appeared repetedly when I just had to wait for the credits in order to find out who that woman was. Maybe it's all the baggage that went with the bigger stars, but my heart throbbed for some of the less celebrated vixens.

Re: silver screen crushes
Wed, October 20, 2004 - 8:21 PMFinally someone mentions Gary Cooper, the most beautiful perfect man ever, especially in his younger days. Those slightly pouting lips, the gaunt cheekbones. Ah! Both my grandmother and I loved (and still do) him. Gregory Peck is a close second though! -

Re: silver screen crushes
Thu, October 12, 2006 - 7:45 PMGary Cooper - you got that right. Both he and Gregory Peck has the most perfect low voices. There's something about a baritone....

Re: silver screen crushes
Tue, August 22, 2006 - 8:56 PMÅs a young soul, I was madly in love with Audrey Hepburn (despite her rather large feet). And of those mentioned above, I was quite enamored of Jean Simmons and Susan Hayward. (Ann Sheridan was always of some interest to me, since she was a third or fouth or fifthe cousin, and I would see her at weddings and funerals. wheeee.) -

Re: silver screen crushes
Wed, August 23, 2006 - 12:20 PMJames Stewart. I know. He's not gorgeous in a Cary Grant sorta way (who always seemed way too polished for me). But his personality makes him extremely attractive IMHO. Loooove him!
He's the only one for me among the men. But I would gladly "slum it" with Alan Ladd & a young Brando, too.
As for women, absolutely Rita Hayworth, Jane Russell, Leslie Caron, & Veronica Lake. Audrey Hepburn is a no-brainer. I could see Irene Dunn, too. Joan "monkey face" Fontaine did a little something for me, too. But first & foremost would be Marilyn Monroe followed closely by Lauren Bacall & Grace Kelly. hot diggity dawg! -

Re: silver screen crushes
Wed, September 6, 2006 - 6:20 PMI fell in love with Ronald Colman after watching a televised "Random Harvest." At the time I was 11 years old and in need of a father figure, I guess. And he fit the bill.
From that point on until maybe when I was 14 or 15, I had to watch every Ronald Colman movie that was shown on tv. Once I even stayed up to watch a movie running after 1 a.m., something totally unheard of in my family. Among the movies I got to watch were "The Prisoner of Zenda," "If I Were King," "Lady Windemere's Fan" (silent), "A Double Life," "Lost Horizon," "A Tale of Two Cities," and "Champagne for Cesar." -

Fri, October 13, 2006 - 11:36 AMTotally in love with Grace Kelly in everything, but especially Hitchcock movies. Hooray for Princess Grace.

I also get excited over James Cagney during his 'badass' roles. I mean, not the 'with a heart of gold' characters, I am talking aobut Cody Jarrett. I guess I long for a man with a grapefruit to waste.
