Did You Ever Have A Crush on an Actor/Actress?

No, not an actor but a singer. The moment he walked out onto the Apollo theater stage about 55 years ago, I started crushing on (the late) Pervis Jackson of the Spinners. I even wrote him a letter and he wrote back, enclosing a personal snapshot with the letter. A couple of years later I got to meet him, then sit and chat with him backstage at The Cheetah, a club in N.Y.C. where they were performing. My BFF at the time was astonished at my cool. :cool: This is the promo pic that was in the program for the Apollo show. Pervis, who was their bass, is the last one on the right.

Nice, so nice! :love: I felt something similar for Florence Ballard but I never wrote her.
 
When I was a senior in high school there was a TV show called "McCloud". I had a thing for McCloud who was too old for me. But he was a private investigator in the city who always wore a nice office tie and white collar...but with light blue worn jeans, and a soft suede coat with sheeps wool collar, and a cowboy hat. He was a good guy but I think it was all about what he wore.

Then I notice this nice guy in my senior class who wasn't popular but I didn't care...he dressed just like McCloud, without the hat but had the exact same soft suede coat and collar, and was a nice guy as well. I fell head over heels in love with him! My first love.

Nope! I don't know why but I never did. I had a crush on a girl in high school but she was a real girl in my class. Actors have too much makeup and they play roles. In real life they are different. That is why I always married real women with talent, great personalities, sense of humour and brains. If they were beautiful that was just a bonus but not the reason I married them.

Help me out here, Nathan. I saw the Bob Hope show in Vietnam '66 - '67 but I cannot remember if it was Ann-Margaret or Joey Hetherton. Maybe both? Maybe neither? I remember that she had nice legs!

I missed the Bob Hope show in January '71, was down in the Delta...was hoping to catch a chopper flight but it was first come first served, with higher ranking officers/NCOs butting in line ahead of everyone...:rolleyes: The last Bob Hope show in Vietnam.

Don't worry. There were about 56 gazillion guys there in '66 so if you weren't in front you wouldn't have seen very much anyway. The worst part was Bob Hope's comments about us afterwards. He said that we were bad for morale because some of the guys were flashing peace signs. Screw him. I'd like to have seen the b'stard walk in our boots and then talk about morale! Anyway, the peace sign was the same in WW II just that it had a different connotation. It's his fault if he couldn't go with the flow.

A true Hollywood GODDESS!

I've had crushes on other goddesses such as Joi Lansing, Jayne Mansfield, Lorna Gray, Barbara Slater. To me, today's Hollywood beauties do not even begin to approach this type of beauty.
