Totally forgotten teen idols from the past

Andrew shue

Jonathan Brandis

OP, we couldn't very well have "totally forgotten teen idols from the PRESENT", now could we?

But let's say Bobby Sherman & Leif Garrett

Little Peggy Wright

The Jamie Walters from 90210 who married Drew Barrymore? Was he a teen idol?

Is Menudo still around?

Former Mickey Mouse Clubber and Keri Russell dater

Tony Lucca

Kurt Russell

If they are "totally forgotten" then how can we possibly name them?

Tommy Puett

Leif Garrett dropped out of public eye when he got a sex change, dyed his hair red and went on to become a house mother at an all girls boarding school.

Put on some pounds too.

Robbie Benson became a teacher on the east coast.

Jonathan Taylor Thomas

Bobby Sherman became an EMT and currently works with training police officers in CPR an other rescue techniques.

From his Wikipedia page:

[quote]When Sherman guest-starred on an episode of the Jack Webb television series Emergency! ("Fools," season 3, episode 17, aired 1/19/1974), he found a new calling that focused more on his personal life, and he eventually left the public spotlight and became an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). He soon volunteered with the Los Angeles Police Department, working with paramedics, and giving CPR and first aid classes. Sherman officially became a technical Reserve Police Officer with the Los Angeles Police Department in the 1990s, a position he still holds today. Sherman was later promoted to Captain status in the Los Angeles Police Department. For over a decade he has served as a medical training officer at the Los Angeles Police Academy, instructing thousands of police officers in first aid and CPR. He was named LAPD’s Reserve Officer of the Year in 1999. Sherman also became a Reserve Deputy Sheriff in 1999 with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department continuing his CPR/emergency training of new deputy hires. Sherman retired from the Sheriff's Department in 2010, but continues with the LAPD. According to Sherman, "I've been bestowed a mountain of blessings. I felt a need to start giving back." The entertainer subsequently received several awards for his humanitarian efforts. Sherman founded the Bobby Sherman Volunteer EMT Foundation. His organization coordinates medical services at many community and charity events in southern California.

Glenn Scarpelli still looks good.

I think Tommy Puett just cut off his mullet and changed his name to James Van Der Beek.

Matt Dillon (not Damon). Peter Barton from The Powers of Matthew Starr. Greg Evigan who gave a BJ to a Bear. That mmmbop group.

Jimmy Boyd

A female friend I have was an ltr with Bobby Sherman

A lot of these guys I've never heard of but I had truly forgotten about Jonathan Taylor Thomas until you mentioned him, R12.

Philip McKeon Lance Kerwin Moose Drier Brian Forster Adam Rich Willie Ames

Fabian Forte. How could you elders forget?

I saw Fabian, Frankie Avalon and Lou Christie in the Golden Boys, OMG , Lou was the star with a package that I couldn't take my eyes off of. He sang his ass off , move like he was doing a porn the way he moved!!! That's a teen idol I would do today!!

Evan Dando

Troy Donahue

I have no idea how to format here.

Bobby Sherman is definitely not gay, or at least not when my friend was in a very serious relationship with him. This was quite some time ago, but post-teen idoldom. I somehow think she would not appreciate my posting this here without her knowledge.

Okay, apparently I sleep posted this last night in 42. Christ on a stick, I am embarrassed.

Scott "Aladdin/DJ's boyfriend on Full House" Weinger

Minor teen idol Danny Nucci:

Sabu, the girly Indian boy

DL fave Brian Bloom

Tony Defranco

Nobody has forgotten Matt Dillon.

How about Rex Smith?

Everybody in Menudo except Ricky Martin and this guy, who is pretty well-known on Spanish TV

R30, damn, I thought I was the only one who remembered Trey Ames. The kid was a good actor too, just dropped out of sight in the early 1990's.

Looks like Mr. Ames has moved on to become an addiction counselor…looks like the same guy.

Darby Hinton from "Daniel Boone"

Jan Michael Vincent. I remember when I was a kid a lot of girls had a crush on Jackie Earl Haley of Bad News Bears fame of all things.

Johnny Fontaine

Luke Perry

Scott Jacoby

John Taylor, Simon le Bon and Nick Rhodes.

Corin Nemec (Parker Lewis Can't Lose)

r52 Danny Nucci is still acting. He's playing a father "The Fosters".

R50 - It's a gossip site. Thanks for the contribution.

Jonathan Taylor Thomas Did he become a porn star?

Me!!

R69 - There was a recent thread about him. I don't know how to do a 'See Related Datalounge Thread' so you have to find it yourself.

Corey Hart - Sunglasses at Night. He was always in competition with Bryan Adams and it looks like Bryan won.

Parker Stevenson.

R72 - Ah yes, Corey Hart, Bryan Adams, and Gino Vannelli, the Canadians. Also, Paul Anka and Bobby Curtola. And today we have Justin Beaver, and Drake - thanks, Canada.

THE LOVELY LENNONS.

R42/R50, if you're still here in this resurrected thread, can you tell us anything at all about Bobby Sherman or your friend's relationship with him?

Puett's best side. One of the all time best. I bought the album for this shot (only place you could get it, pre-internet) and never heard him sing a word.

Austin Peck from DOOL

Rene Simard...

The Keane Brothers

Butch Patrick was best known as Eddie Munster but his role as Mark the hapless young man trapped in the trippy Lidsville made him a teen idol for a few years, an experience he says he enjoyed.

Tevin Campbell - still not admitting to being gay, even after his arrest for lewd conduct in a public park after soliciting an undercover police officer for sex. He's 'try-sexual' to use his term. Not gay, not bi-sexual, but 'try-sexual'. Pathetic.

Never forget the sun kissed beauty that was Erik VonD, R23.

another vote for Fabian

Alvin Stardust

I never got the attraction of Jimmy McNichol

He was cute and non-threatening, R86. How do you not get that?

Eric von D was total jack off material. One of those with odd features on their own -- squinty eyes, thick pug nose, weak chin, crooked baby teeth -- but put them all together and top them off with that perfect blond hair and you have perfection somehow. Wish he hadn't disappeared.

I liked how Kathy G said after working on that show that she was pretty sure he was retarded. "I mean, he didn't bring a doctor's note or anything but..." And how he kept asking "When am I going to outgrow my baby face?" and actually expecting an answer from the rest of the cast.

Jimmy McNichol is 55 today.

Almost ALL "teen idols" are forgotten once they age out of their teen idol phase. David Cassidy and Donny Osmond were once THE teen idols of their day. But neither one of them had the talent to overcome their trivial status as a teen idol, so their careers went down the drain. That's the thing about most teen idols; they're cute but not very talented, so when their fickle teenage girl fan base gets tired of them, that's it.

CB Barnes

Chad Allen

Mark-Paul Gosselar

Bros ("When Will I Be Famous ")

Jason Donovan

I don't think Jimmy Osmond was ever anybody's idol save for maybe a small number of the Utah brain-washed.

Malcom Jamal Warner

The Bay City Rollers!

S-A-TUR-DAY NIGHT!

Greg Brady

Shane McDermott

Chris Demetral

Who played the kid on "Dream On" (a nearly forgotten gem from the 90s) then did a bunch of guest spots on TV for years. He was also in "Sometimes They Come Back" and "Blank Check."

Noah Hathaway did several photo shoots as a teen that even Lou Pearlman wouldn't have dreamed of. I think he claims they were taken by a friend of his dad's who knew people in the teen mag business. After the first photo session dad should have dropped him from the "friend" list.

"I never got the attraction of Jimmy McNichol."

He was Kristy with a penis. Basically fodder for panicked baby dykes.

Or so I've heard.

Tom and John Keane. They had their own variety show, "The Keane Brothers Show," which lasted 4 weeks as a CBS summer replacement for "Wonder Woman" in 1977.

R88 lmao, harsh but not too hard to believe. Have to admit he isn't the worst actor, within a limited range. He works well on tv, for some reason the camera loves him. Agree that his looks are baffling, his features shouldn't work but they do.

We can at least say he kept his looks into his 30's. He also fathered a son at some point, but apparently has no wife/gf and hasn't been dating anyone famous since Haylie Duff in the early noughties. Hard to say if he's family, or what.

R37, most of your "forgotten teen idols" are successfully touring still. As they say, Google is your.....

R22 Actress Jill Haworth walked in on her boyfriend Sal Mineo fucking Bobby Sherman. It is what broke them up as a couple. Jill met Sal when they both made the film EXODUS. She was 15 at the time. They became lovers and we're living in California. Jill actually met Bobby Sherman first and introduced him to Mineo. Sal served as a mentor to Sherman who was a singer and he was instrumental in getting him cast on the teen pop music series, SHINDIG.. Sherman threatened to sue Jill when the Mineo/ Sherman connection was mentioned in Michael Michaud's bio "Sal Mineo." However she passed away before anything happened. I think Bobby Sherman dropped it. He never went after author Michael Michaud.

F avian was my first gay crush when I was a kid. He got me all hot and tingly when I saw the movie High Time. My favorite Playgirl pin up from the 70's.

R90, You should have such a "down the drain" career as Donny Osmond.

Jason Donovan was a hottie back in his days.

R57, Menudo's Robbie Draco Rosa, multiple Grammy winner, has just announced his 2016 US tour dates.

The Moffatts

Jeremy Jackson- Hobie from Baywatch.

Seems he's had a little work done

Richard Grieco, Johnny Depp's "21 Jump Street" successor.

One of the Moffatts came out as gay. I don't remember which one.

FABIAN!!!!!

As a teen idol, isn't it your destiny to become forgotten?

Teens grow up and move on.

Luke Halpin, dolphin lover.

I believe it's Dave Moffat that came out.

Hard to believe Bobby Sherman is 72.

David and Andy Williams (brothers) were a singing duo related to the famous Andy Williams.

I hope I'm on everyone's list

Olive Newton Garden

Jackie Cooper, Johnny Downs and of course Scotty Beckett

Michael Damien

R25, damn, that guy is well preserved!

r116 didn't one of the Williams brothers come out as gay?

Jeremy Jackson was hot back then.

Johnny Crawford

William Betty "The Young Roscius"

r117

You're on our list

I've misplaced my book "Full Frontal" and recommend it if you can still find it in print. Here's some info:

Johnny Crawford did a nude scene in a play and was very attractive.

David Cassidy's father, Jack Cassidy was bi and had a massive dick, so I'm not surprised to read David was also hung.

Fabian was attractive and posed nude for Playgirl.

Warren Beatty posed nude as a young man and was sexy AF.

Matt Dillon is bi and a hung, dom top.

Michael Gray of “Shazam.”

Whatsisname.

I loved Clark Brandon

Jimmy McNichol

Charles, Prince of Wales. Back in the day, when he was 18, he was considered hot stuff. The young girls went nuts.

Windsors peak early.

Does anyone remember a pair of brothers from the 70s that played the xylophone? They'd show up on Merv or the Mike Douglas show from time to time. I've been trying to remember their names.

Ricky Schroder
