Candice Bergen I'm the Wind and the Lion

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 3 points 11 hours ago

Candice Bergen as Murphy Brown. I think halfway I wanted her and halfway I wanted to be her.

I think my first was Linda Carter.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

Man.....what 12 year old me would have given to explore Alex Mack's secret world....

[–] Acamon@lemmy.world 5 points 20 hours ago

Danielle Fischel and Rider Strong (Topanga and Shawn from Boy Meets World). Trying to understand how I could be attracted to both led to some important realisations as a young teen...

Tracey Gold

The painfully obvious: Jennifer Connelly.

First saw her in Labyrinth when I was like 12, and she awoke something in me, and that continued when I saw The Rocketeer when my parents rented them from Blockbuster. Later when I was a little older she solidified that awakening when I saw Career Opportunities rented from Blockbuster myself once old enough to have my own account.

Astronema from Power Rangers IN SPACE, followed by Shirley Manson, the lead singer of Garbage. 😁

Ricci circa Buffalo 66 was peak. Then she got all Hollywood skinny and she lost all appeal to me.

Jennifer Connelly in The Rocketeer

[–] bizarroland@fedia.io 8 points 1 day ago

Delores O'Riorden.

Watching her dance under a waterfall covered in gold paint for the music video for Zombie really did it for child me apparently.

[–] flabbergast@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Erin Gray from Buck Rogers in the 25th Century!

[–] d00phy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Oh man! Erin Grey in Buck Rogers… Still has an effect!

Mine was seeing Cameron Diaz in the Mask when I was like 6. Her walking into that bank for the first time completely changed me.

Giving away my age a bit but Jane Fonda.

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 2 points 12 hours ago

Still quite attractive.

[–] Acamon@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

I don't know, some things are timeless.

Lead woman in the last movie I saw.

Maybe the most consistent was Hermione Granger, I say Hermione instead of Emma Watson bc I never saw her as anything else and had a crush on the book character too.

The other option might be Anna Kendrick.

[–] stinerman@midwest.social 8 points 1 day ago

Diana Rigg, but only because I was a big Bond nerd in high school.

[–] Nikls94@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Happy to be the first one to say Avril Lavegne
