Heartthrobs

I used to love all the policemen in z cars ( anyone remember them? ) one of them was Brian Blessed!

Sean Bean

During my schooldays, Robert Horton pictures were all over my 'scrapbook' - remember them?

Paul McCartney came next.

I used to find the man who played Anton Meyer (George Irving) in the early episodes of Holby City drop dead gorgeous and was so furious when he left I stopped watching it!!

Now it's Philip Glenister.

I have had such fun reading this!
Mine would include:
James Stewart
Bob Hope
Clint Eastwood
Gregory Peck
Danny Kaye
Richard Chamberlain
Billy Fury
Robin Gibb
Alan Bates
Tom Courtney
Alan Rickman
Philip Glennister
Justin Currie (Del Amitri)
As you can see I like 'interesting' faces!

To return to the OP - when I was young, and this shows my vintage: Gary Cooper. What soulful eyes he had.

I used to have a sneaky regard for Robert Horton who played Flint McCullough in Wagon Train. My older sister liked him and I was only into the Liverpool stuff, but all that creaking of leather (or was it suede) when he walked...........

kitty That's a lovely story about HK. I love really tall men

My number one man is Mike Nesmith from the Monkees. Others are David Essex, Kris Kristofferson, Rick Parfitt and Russell Brand .

Hollydaze - Your mum was obviously a woman of impeccable taste!! I'm sure it's passed to her daughter too as you're a Gransnetter!

From the age of 14 and for quite a few years, I absolutely adored the ITN newscaster Huw Thomas. I actually had plans to meet and marry him, but then he spoilt it all by getting married to someone else! He disappeared from sight for many years, but I managed to trace him and received a very nice letter from him, my second, the first being in 1957. He has sadly since died.

Steve McQueen and Steve Ellis (of the Love Affair) were my teenage heart-throbs.

As I have gotten older mine have got younger! Currently mine are: David Tennant, Gerard Butler, Colin Farrell, George Clooney (of course) and Matt Damon. Whew - I have come over all peculiar!!

Gaga - I had a friend who was totally obsessed with Elvis. I went to the pictures with her to see Blue Hawaii. She made a complete show of herself. When Elvis was getting married in the film, my friend stood up and screeched at the top of her voice in the direction of his bride 'take your bleedin' hands off him'. He was extremely handsome I have to agree.

I must go and lie down now and take a powder!

That did make me chuckle (you'll have to make do with a grin as there isn't a laugh smiley)

Mrso - I used to like Adam Faith until I saw him on a programme and saw how short he was - I would have towered over him! Kind of put me off but, as a teen, things like that were important

Bridget Bardot, Doris Day, Sophia Loren, Diana Dors, Kathy Kirby, .... I must go and lie down now and take a powder!

Didn't a few of us mention a penchant for Philip Glenister on another recent thread?

I'll own to him being a relatively recent one after watching him in Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes.

Adam Faith and Steve McQueen

If I didn't know better d4dsquared, I would swear you are my mum! Those were her two favourites

It was Owen McDonnell in "Singlehanded"

Have him scrubbed and sent to my room, please.

Well my teenage heartthrob was the one and only Elvis. I used to kiss him goodnight every night (Poster next to my bed) Then I came home from school one day and found that my parents had decided to re-decorate my room and Elvis was consigned to the bin with the old wallpaper. I was so upset!

But there's only one, real old-school heartthrob now for me, and that's the gorgeous George Clooney.

I did take a shine to the actor who played the Irish policeman in the drama serial set in Connemmara a while back - can't remember his name though!

George Harrison - from the first time I set eyes on his lovely face One or two runners up - Paul Newman, Steve McQueen, lots of 60s groups/singers, Chip Hawkes from the Tremeloes, Billy J Kramer
and David Ginola.

Steve McQueen was a real action bad-boy.
Now I admire Brad Pitt. I know, I know, he's a bit too young for me. But just look at him! (swoon)

I agree * Eloethan* Roger Allam has a great voice, and Peter Egan always sounds very urbane and kind.
