Post your teenage crushes... don't be shy!

Guttenburg's been directing lately.  He made so many movies during his peak period, he doesn't have to work anymore.  He's loaded.

Flipper made me gay, lol! I was still a pre-teen but I had a huge and, at the time confusing, crush on Sandy (luke Halpin) from the TV show Flipper:




However, my crush was eventually transfered to Sandy's sexy father:

My first real crush,

David Soul of Starsky and Hutch.

I loved him and the show and I thought about them all the time and I made up new stories about them.

I always loved the sad episodes the best, when they ended up in each others arms. (sounds familiar, doesn't it)

And I was twelve

BTW Just in case you are too young, David Soul is the blond one, Hutch, and I still think he's cute

Just came across this whilst idly googling... I think they've all been mentioned at one time on the thread!



And just for you marlb, here a pic of pre-Hutch David Soul in 'Here Come the Brides' 1968-70

Tell you what, I never watched Starsky and Hutch when I was a kid, yet I was still somehow offended when the movie, apparently, turned the show into a farce.

Paul Michael Glaser was more my type.  Such a tragedy about his wife, Elizabeth, and their child.

(Edit. OK, I took out my smiley face after the comment about Paul Michael Glaser being more my type. It started to look insensitive right before the comment about what a tragedy it was for him to lose his both his wife, Elizabeth, and their child to AIDS.)

True Jeff. Can't imagine what it must have been like to lose your wife and child to such a cruel disease

OK, I must be having an elder moment here. I have very fond memories of Here Come the Brides. Jesus H., if you get me drunk enough, I can still sing the theme song, and that's almost 40 years ago!  But I have absolutely no recollection of who that is in the photo standing between David Soul, on the left, and Robert Browne. (Bobby Sherman was my favorite Bolt brother.  )

That's someone called Steve Lodge apparently. Here's the link to the page with more backstage photos.

Thanks for the great picture.  He was so cute!!!  I even still have his record someplace,  remember 'Don't Give Up On Us, Baby" I think it was.

I would never ever see the movie, to me it is real blasphemy, Starsky and Hutch was a serious show (especially in your early teens) , the friendship, losing girlfriends, terrible car accidents, even drug addiction.  It did bother me that they chose to parody it in the movie.

Yes, Paul Micheal Glaser did have a very sad life, to lose his wife and daughter, but Elizabeth Glaser certainly did so much good in her time.   I think he is doing well,  he did get remarried not too long ago and he even appears on tv every so often.  He was in a not awful USA network movie about a year ago, and I think I saw him in a commercial recently.

David Soul did disappear, but I think he does do stage acting in London, or he did.

I did so love that show.

Okay now that I got started,

Around the time of Starsky & Hutch, my next true love was David Gates of Bread.  I loved their songs, they were so beautiful, and I so thought he was cute, but there weren't many pictures back them.  I must have seemed so dorky, everyone was into Led Zeppelin, and I loved Bread.  They got back together in 1976 when I fell in love with them, and they were playing in the city but I wasn't allowed to go





He sure looks like he should be in BBM here.
