Being somewhat older than most here, mine date back to the ‘60s. First I specifically recall was Leslie Ann Warren after seeing her in Rogers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella. I was probably 6 or 7 and thought she was beautiful. Couple of years later I saw “Girl Happy” at the drive-in and fell for Shelley Fabares. Somewhere in there I lusted for Ann-Margaret, probably after seeing “Viva Las Vegas”. Elvis introduced me to several of my early loves.
Yes, even as a young lad I loved women, not girls. The closest girl to my own age I ever crushed on was Maureen McCormick, and she was 2.5 years older than me.
