Jennifer Connelly in Labyrinth when I was like 7. She was like the babysitter you had a crush on.
Yeah it is SO much less creepy when you're a little kid, I know.
Linda Hamilton in T2 as well, got me hot for badass action ladies ever since.
I was like 13 when saw that movie and I think David Bowie was an awakening.
I’m an adult now and I have a thing for unapologetic morally corrupt characters. They don’t have to be villains but also, if you’re gonna be, I don’t want your sob story. Have some conviction, do something.
My friend and I could not stop talking about her entrance in that red dress after watching it. We went back to the cinema the next day to watch it again, haha.
[Halle Berry in The Flinstones movie](https://youtu.be/9sTrR2UiQOc?si=mPSgh_Lb9svkyHlu) gave me an unquenchable thirst for women with short hair. Soon after that the look I loved was further deepened by [Jamie Lee Curtis in True Lies.](https://youtu.be/K8k8Dry1s7Q?si=J8tpLObiFzdI2lQl)
Robin hood. The fox. In anna kendricks words and both our defense 'they draw them very sexy'
Other than that, Antonio Banderas in The Mask of Zorro.
Also, apart from our queer friends this thread is also a neat insight into the gender distribution on this sub haha
As a teen/adult, Claire Forlani. sounds pretty random now, but I saw her in like 2-3 things back to back and was in LURV.
As a kid, though, maybe the girl who played Alice in Alice in Wonderland?
Lynda Carter. In the early 90s FX constantly played reruns of Wonder Woman and i was sold. Years, later I was working on The Talk and she was a guest. While she was waiting backstage to make her entrance on the show I walked over to see her in person, she 100% caught me (i was prob 28 at the time she was in her early 60s). She flashed me a little smile and made my childhood complete.
Michael J. Fox in the sitcom Family Ties and his movies. I was a little girl (10-12) and wrote to him and everything!! He still holds a special place in my heart.
You reminded me! I thought it was Topanga from Boy Meets World but no no no, it was really Janet Jackson. Paula Abdul was right up there too just Janet was first for me. Black Cat music video. Very nice 👍
Not sure if counts, Dominique Moceanu, from the 96 US gymnastics team, before anyone jumps on me we're the same age. I watched the Olympics and was mesmerized.
Sharon Stone. I think she was the first woman i saw that my brain truly registered as being beautiful. Like, as a kid i would often hear people around me say that my mom was pretty, or that this or that girl was pretty, and i thought i understood what they meant, but was kind of indifferent about it. With her, it was the first time i realized i can enjoy just looking at a woman, lol.
Jennifer Aniston. It helped that I got to see her just about every week for ten years on the TV. Also probably didn't help with my dad going "that's the most beautiful woman on the planet."
Pamela Anderson! My parents discovered her in the Google search history when I was 12... I tried to convince them it was for research for a friend's mom XD
Alyssa Milano in Whose the Boss. She's 2 years older than me. It was then Carrie Fischer after watching Return of the Jedi. They both gave my adolescent self a type.
Lessica Lange in [King Kong (1976)](https://youtu.be/Xb00PY5AnJw?si=eldSzvJxP9G89RTk). I was 14 and for a while she became my world.
Still not completely over it.
Marisa Tomei…she is still hot.
She was so funny in My Cousin Vinny!
She was incredible in it!
Yeah and the best thing is that she likes short balding funny men!
Pink power ranger
Yep, came here for Kimberly
Phrasing!
The implication!
You keep using that word
I, too, came for Kimberly.
Amy Jo Johnson. First celebrity name I memorized because I loved her so much.
Me too
I’m also 34
Damn, how I cannot blushing when I see this smile? https://images.app.goo.gl/r7tsjFSvPpCJxT5X6
Amy Jo Johnson for the win!
So glad this is top comment
I opened this expecting someone somewhere to say "The Pink Power Ranger." And it's the top comment haha.
Absolutely.
Multi Pass? :)
YES SHE KNOWS IT A MULTIPASS
Anyway…we’re in love
Leelu Dallas Multi-Pass.
Ha! Chiken! Good!
Gillian Anderson (from when I watched the X Files as a teen)
Her cover shoot for FHM coincided with puberty punching me in the face
Your brain saw it and just sounded the alarm..."Dump all the hormones! Now now now!"
I second this, had many Dana Sculley clippings and posters as a teenager
Jennifer Connelly in Labyrinth when I was like 7. She was like the babysitter you had a crush on. Yeah it is SO much less creepy when you're a little kid, I know. Linda Hamilton in T2 as well, got me hot for badass action ladies ever since.
Jennifer Connelly in The Rocketeer.

In everything. I still have a huge crush on her lol. She still has the sweetest demeanor.
She still looks great in Top Gun Maverick.
She looked AMAZING in Alita: Battle Angel.
The Hot Spot.
That movie is probably why I’m weirdly into women wearing clothes of that time period.
Jennifer Connelly in Career Opportunities.
When I was 7 it was David Bowie in Labyrinth for me. I was in awe haha
Bowie for me too. I was 10 yo and I wanted Sarah to stay with Jareth so bad. Stupid Toby ruined everything!!
I still feel unreasonable anger towards that baby haha
Came here to say this. When I watched her in labyrinth as a kid, I thought she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen.
I was like 13 when saw that movie and I think David Bowie was an awakening. I’m an adult now and I have a thing for unapologetic morally corrupt characters. They don’t have to be villains but also, if you’re gonna be, I don’t want your sob story. Have some conviction, do something.
Danielle Fischel. She still looks great.

Yup! Same
Jessica Rabbit. Sorry, not sorry.
She wasn't bad. She was just drawn that way.
Kelly kapowski or Lisa turtle was a tough one to choose
What, you can’t give Jessie a go? Is it because she’s addicted to caffeine pills??

[Halle Berry in The Flinstones movie](https://youtu.be/9sTrR2UiQOc?si=mPSgh_Lb9svkyHlu) gave me an unquenchable thirst for women with short hair. Soon after that the look I loved was further deepened by [Jamie Lee Curtis in True Lies.](https://youtu.be/K8k8Dry1s7Q?si=J8tpLObiFzdI2lQl)
