I was never a wall-poster kind of girl, but when I was seven, I had a mad crush on Shaun Cassidy...at twelve I was certain Rick Springfield wanted to marry me, and at 14 , and of the members of Duran Duran would have been joyously welcomed.

Yeah, I was a serious geek. Still am. And proud of it.

(These questions are fun.)

[Erin]

okay, i still consider myself 'young' so they include:
1. noah wylie
2. brad pitt
3. johnny depp

no posters though...

[Jennifer]

Bobby Sherman, David Cassidy (the much hotter Cassidy boy), and yes, Michael Jackson.

I wanted to marry him when I was five. And seven. And eleven, too, come to think of it.

I grew out of it.

*shudder*

[Jenni]

Jeff Hyslop, Michael J. Fox, and Neil Patrick Harris (although Neil was a couple years later than the first two).

[xtessa]

Joey McIntyre of NKOTB
Leo diCaprio
Edward Furlong in Terminator 2

... and, yes, i did have posters... I also cut out those pictures from Tiger Beat and pasted it on my binder. my classmates thought i was cool for doing this! LOL!!!

[Bluegrass Mama]

Davy Jones
Donny Osmond
David Cassidy

But no posters. Sigh. Though my mother did have one of Robert Redford that I "borrowed" when I went to college.

[Melinama]

Bill Bixby (The Incredible Hulk)
Albert Finney (Tom Jones)
Robert Wagner (It Takes a Thief)

[monique]

Shaun Cassidy
Donnie Osmond
one of the Beach Boys (i don't remember which one)

and yes, there were posters

[Mamacita]

This is embarassing but. . . . The Monkees. In particular, Peter Tork. I had posters and trading cards taped all over my bedroom walls.

[vicki]

This will seriously age me: David McCallum on Man from Uncle. And Robert Vaughn. And Dr. Kildare. Oh, lord, I'm so embarassed...

[Kimberly]

David Cassidy seems to have been popular with your readers; I wonder if anyone thought they were going to marry him? On my 'I've always liked older men' list:

Jackson Browne
Robert Redford
Paul Newman

[K Jones]

Jaclyn Smith
Catherine Bach
Juice Newton

In no particular order, except that Jaclyn Smith still revs my engine. Thank you, angels.

[Phil]

Erin Gray
Faye Grant
Linda Carter

No, no posters.

[Michele]

Kimberly - Not only was I certain that I was going to marry David, but I KNEW that I was the "YOU" in the song "I Think I Love You."

If any once young girl thinks otherwise she is very wrong. I am certain he is still heartbroken that I chose another.

[srp]

I'm with Vicki. David McCallum (Ilya Kuryakin) from the Man from UNCLE; Richard Chamberlain form Dr. Kildare and Hamlet on Halmark Hall of Fame and in college - the late Peter Deuel - Alias Smith and Jones.

The last 10 years? Liam Neeson

[Samantha]

NKOTB (Oh, the shame!) I had posters everywhere, on all four walls and the ceiling, plus cutouts covering the seams between the posters.

Then came Jonathan Brandis. The same poster overload.

Then I was hooked on Johnny Depp, but I had outgrown the posters by then. I'm still hot on Johnny though.

[kenju]

No posters, but I loved Robert Wagner, James Dean and Rock Hudson, till I found out he batted for the other team.

[Melody]

My walls were covered in posters! (I did it mainly to cover up the bright yellow walls my room had.)
INXS
Madonna
Michael J Fox (a 'Teen Wolf' poster!)

[panthergirl]

Giving my age away:

1. Paul Newman - I'd DREAM about him, almost nightly
2. Steve McQueen - Ditto.
3. Joe Namath

I'm proud of 1 and 2 (in fact, don't you think Brad Pitt is looking like Steve-o in the clips from Mr. & Mrs. Smith?). But totally embarrassed about #3!!!!!

[PresentStorm]

1.Paul Stanley from Kiss
2.Bon Jovi
3.Brett Michaels from Posion ..

oh yeah did I have some posters ..lol ALLLL over the place

[PresentStorm]

Oh yeah I forgot Bo Duke too ..Thanks J&J ..lol he was HOT back in the day

[Cori C]

When I was really young I was in love with Patrick Duffy- this is when he was on "The Man from Atlantas". Then if I'm going to date myself- DAVEY JONES!!!!! I also was in love with Mr. Rogers- and was so sad to find out he was married!

[Beanhead]

1. Jon Bon Jovi
2. Bobby Dahl (poison)
3. Axel Rose

Oh and what would a crush be without posters.

[melissa]

Oh so many... Only 3, huh?

1. New Kids on the Block
2. Kirk Cameron
3. Keanu Reeves

It's hard to admit to #1 but I had the most posters of them. And #2? No, I don't know, either. #3 is still yummy but, I have since realized, a terrible actor.

[miss marisol]

1. Michael Jackson
2. Mackenzie Astin (from Facts of Life)
3. Luke Perry

There's no accounting for the hormones of a pre-adolescent.

[Megan]

I'm so glad to know there are people out there who are my age!

This is complicated for me - I had crushes on so many guys and plastered so many posters on my walls that one of my mom's friends, who spent a night in my room, was actually creeped out! The walls were covered people!

70's
Leif Garrett
Donny Osmond
Shaun Cassidy

Oh lord:
(1) Donnie from NKOTB (yuck!)

[christine]

In my teen years, it would have been:

- Duran Duran (as I hang my head in shame) - I was a Simon LeBon girl...then later...

- Bono
- More Bono

I know. I know. But still to this day, pictures of him circa 1987 (the dark, brooding "Joshua Tree" days still make me woozy.

[nat]

I love everyone's answers. Some of them crack me up, though!

Janet said Sajid Khan! OMG. I can't believe someone else had a crush on him!!!

For me:
Donny Osmond
Bobby Sherman
The Beatles - ALL of them
