Don't remember the first real person, but April O'Neil (1987) was my first crush:

My first is lost to the mists of time and was probably a Scottish or English actress in a TV show that I have forgotten about. I do remember having a Cindy Crawford poster into my teenage years but before that? Didn't have the internet back then to google who is playing what and then find pics of them and find out what else they are in lol. It's all an analogue blur of awakening hormones. That Cindy Crawford poster though - fire. Can't find it by inept googling though so my analogue past is still haunting me :(

The very first one (as a kid) was probably Phoebe Cates, from the Gremlins films. She's also aged incredibly well: here she is at 46 years old, 11 years ago:

That was Jennifer Connelly in Labyrinth when I was a kid.

Curiously, in Labyrinth she didn't do anything for me (besides the movie being great), but when I watched Dark City she became my third crush. Second one would be Julie Condra in Crying Freeman; brunettes are my kryptonite. :/

Christina Ricci in her role as Wednesday Addams. I'm not goth myself but Ricci in the role was the awakening of my lifelong attraction to goth girls & guys.

Cameron Diaz in The Mask stirred something inside me at way too young an age, I don't think I understood what was happening lol

I adored Julie from V as a kid. I absolutely had a crush on her, even if I didn't realize it at the time.

I was also insanely jealous of Howard the Duck.
