My first celebrity crush: Suzy Quatro as ‘Leather Tuscadero’ on Happy Days. She was about 15 years older than me IRL but I didn’t care. Who was your celebrity first crush?

In rethinking it, it MIGHT have been this girl from Disney movie Child of Glass. https://preview.redd.it/71qh9f3alyje1.jpeg?width=1136&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=895e205233a9f6298d88aa0e20ce1c26ed633457

I know he was in Sirius XM - the 80s station - when I got my car a while back, but I’ve been listening to the Classic Radio & Broadway channels more lately. He IS set up in my notifications, though, & I always switch over to listen to his songs. 😂

My teenage heart crushed on him so bad for him when he was on Days of Our Lives, I sent him a fan letter spritzed with some of the cheapest, nastiest perfume ever. Somehow, in my head, he would open my letter over all the others because it was spritzed. 🤣 Then, of course, I also wished I was Jessie’s girl.

Yep. Came here to reply this. She’s six years older than me. In the 70s I had family that would give me copies of parade, tv guide, and people with her on the cover or articles in it. I used to stay up past my bedtime and sneak a watch of Family. It flew over my head. I remember watching summer of my German soldier. My mom (father was killed in WW2 France) was not…happy.
