Celebrities your parents crushed on

My mother had a crush on Van Johnson. That's how I knew about the red socks.

Golden Age Hollywood Queen Van Johnson?

My mom loved Joan Rivers. She was not quick to laugh but she always did when Joan was on. From Carson to Fashion Police.

My father had a thing for Rita Hayworth. When some paper published a story about her having Alzheimer's and ran an very unflattering photo, he was visibly upset.

My mother was all about Frank Sinatra

My mum was obsessed with Boris Becker.

Was she a tennis fan, R5?

Yes, R6. But to my young eyes, Stefan Edberg was the hot one.

My mom was in love with Robert Redford. She also liked Paul Newman, Jim Brown, Peter Jennings.

My dad's celebrity crushes were Vanna White, Pia Zadora, DL fav Jaclyn Smith, B. Smith, Charo.

R8, that's Golden Globe-winner Pia Zadora.

Who is B. Smith?

Don’t know who my mom had a crush on but she got fucked by Skip Stephenson whenever he was in town.

Was your mom a slut or a whore, R11?

My mother and her girlfriends all adored Merv Griffin. They would all gather for coffee and cake in the evenings to watch his talk show.

My Dad had a thing for Jaclyn Smith. Yes, we love Farrah and Kate, but Jaclyn was the most beautiful.

My late father had a thing for Elvira/Cassandra Peterson in his later years. He had a picture of her as his Windows wallpaper. I thought it was cute, she seems cool.

[quote] My mother and her girlfriends all adored Merv Griffin. They would all gather for coffee and cake in the evenings to watch his talk show.

Ooooooooooooooooooooo.

[quote] My Dad had a thing for Jaclyn Smith.

Did she have any pets?

My mom loved Tom Jones. That was one we could both agree on.

Mom = George Benson

Dad = Nancy Wilson

Elvis

My mom was in love with Elvis as a youngster, and Smokey Robinson later in life. My dad loved Annette Funicello as a youngster.

R10, B. Smith was so- called "lifestyle expert". She owned some restaurants, had a line of something or another at Bed Bath and Beyond. Her last few years were kind of sad because she had Alzheimer's and her husband was having an affair and his mistress moved in with them. My dad always liked her because she was big jazz buff and he LOVED jazz.

R12, she was a restaurant manager.

So... slut.

My mother had a crush on Bobby Ewing.

I forgot my mom also liked those teen idols of her time. Troy Donahue, Doug McClure, Tab Hunter. She said she knew Tab Hunter was gay, but that didn't bother her and she still thought he was cute.

Thank you, Barney at R22.

Mom: Engelbert Humperdinck

Dad: Olivia Newton-John

[quote] Barbara Elaine Smith was the first African-American model to be featured on the cover of Mademoiselle magazine in 1976.

Dad: Mitzi Gaynor, Doris Day, Dolly Parton

Mom: Rock Hudson, Monty Clift, Neil Diamond, and Engelbert Humperdinck

R28 She's gorgeous.

Dad: Florence Jean Castleberry

My mother loved Johnny Mathis and Rock Hudson. She didn’t have well functioning gaydar. She despised Tom Jones. Every time he was on TV she would comment on how vulgar his dancing was. My father loved Sophia Loren.

My mom liked Magnum PI and tried to talk my dad into growing a mustache. She also like Richard Gere.

Dad like Jackie Collins and lady who played Wonder Woman.

Dad liked J-Lo and J-Law.

Oh, dear! My goddamned eyes. When it's safe to go, I will go for a thorough eye exam. I'm probably not even legal to drive at this point!

My mom Richard Gere and Peter Coyote (for his voice). My dad, Monica Bellucci.

[quote] She's gorgeous.

Not anymore.

[quote] Dad liked J-Lo and J-Law. —Born in 2007

Intriguing. Would you perhaps like to leave me your number?

Mom: Richard Gere.

Dad: Deborah Kerr for old movies and Meg Ryan from most recent times.

Dad liked Mary Ann. Mom liked Ginger.

Yes R32 I was going to say my father loved Sophia Loren, mostly because he was Italian too. My English mother? I don't recall her swooning over anybody. She mostly was disillusioned with men.

My dad had a thing for Liz Taylor. If any of her movies came on TV, we were expected to remain completely quiet. The dialogue in masterpieces such as [italic]Elephant Walk[/italic] or [italic]Sandpiper [/italic] was important.

Interestingly my mother had similar coloring to Liz. Same dark brown almost black hair, intense eye color (Mom's were a vivid leaf green), same eyebrows and huge bustline. I guess Dad had a type.

My mother crushed on celebrities all the time. Before her death, she was panting after Kiefer Sutherland in [italic]24.[/italic] Later she was watching old TV reruns and ran across [italic]Alias Smith and Jones[/italic]. OMG - she thought Pete Duel was so cute, would watch the show just to look at him.

My dad tuned into Nigella Lawson, despite having no interest in cooking, because he found her screen presence "soothing and relaxing." Mom liked Robert Wagner and Sting.

[quote] My English mother? I don't recall her swooning over anybody. She mostly was disillusioned with men.

Including your father?

Mom had it bad for Clint Eastwood.

Dad liked Loni Anderson

Dad was all Marilyn Monroe.

Mom fancied Walter Pidgeon.

My mom was totally into Nick Lashay. I don’t see the appeal. Such a dated look.

My mom had a thing for Bill Clinton. She shook his hand once at a campaigning event in ‘92. She said both men and women of varying ages and races were charmed by his empathetic yet alpha-dog charisma. Mom volunteered for Gore campaign in 2000, she said Gore was fine but couldn’t compare to Clinton in intelligence and emotional quotients plus charisma.

My 85 year old mother saw a special on the Foo Fighters and can’t stop talking about Dave Grohl.

My Dad liked Yvonne Decarlo, Shirley MacLaine and Hillary Clinton. My Mom didn't really admit to crushes, but I do remember her getting mushy singing along with Tom Jones during some event celebrating ERII.

My mother would never have admitted it, but she rather fancied Gene Barry, who portrayed some sort of playboy detective in Burke’s Law (1960s TV series). He was always kissing all the women, which, as a kid, I hated.

Dad liked Lauren Bacall. He liked strong women with spirit. And he liked Bogie.

Bat Masterson too.

R32, my mother loved Johnny Mathis as well. I never had the heart to tell her he was gay, and she finally asked me one day if I knew, and how long I'd known. She and my grandmother (her mother) also both thought Michael Landon was the cat's pajamas.

My father's not one to crush on anyone, but he did date a girl in high school who went on to be a Playboy Bunny in NYC. I actually tracked her down on FB and it was odd to think she could've been my mum, hypothetically speaking. I didn't reach out to her because she apparently broke my father's heart. Then again, I wouldn't be here if they'd married.

Mom crushed on Tom Jones, Engelbert Humperdinck, Herb Alpert, and James Garner.

Dad crushed on Yvonne Elliman, Marilyn McCoo, Petula Clark, and Raquel Welch.

R53

My 86 year old mother loves Michael Landon; she watches Highway to Heaven every day.

My dad had a crush on Ann-Margrock.

Dad - Madeline Kahn and when he was old he liked Jennifer Aniston and Joan Cusack

Mom - She didn't follow many male singer or actors. She liked Janis Joplin, Nina Simone, Roberta Flack, Bette Midler

Dad - Diana Ross

Mum - Marvin Gaye

My dad had a massive thing for Connie Chung and Ann-Margret. He also had a huge thing for Edward Woodward (the Equalizer), the guy who played Max Headroom, and he was crazy about Arnold. He owned a copy of Pumping Iron. He also adored Gore Vidal. There were more, but these are the ones that come to mind immediately. His crushes tended to be on the male side. I hope he got a taste of dick before he died, but he was such an uptight mess, I doubt it.

Remember it like yesterday. When I was a kid about seven or eight, my father and I were laying on the couch together on a Sunday afternoon and "Bye Bye Birdie" came on. As Ann-Margret was singing the opening song my Dad just blurted out, "Isn't she sexy?" Of course being my introduction to her I thought she was fabulous in my own way and was a fan since that moment. Years Later I got to meet her a few times and she was just lovely and I have a very limited edition "Bye Bye Birdie" Blu-ray signed by her and as I walked away I said to my long gone Dad, yeah Dad she is sexy!

My dad's ideal woman was Charo. He'd say, "She can play classical guitar!" But we knew it was not only her guitar-playing skills, but her figure in skin-tight costumes that appealed to Dad.

My late Mum was round the twist, over the moon, and completely besotted with Tyrone Power. Dragged my late Father to all his films, and when they showed on TV, no matter what time of the day/night, watched them repeatedly.

I'm amazed my Mum didn't name me Tyrone.

The only celebrity I remember my father liking in that way was, yes, Ann-Margret. She seems to have been big with dads. Maybe it was her ability to be sexy and wholesome at the same time.

When I was little, I remember my mother had a thing for Robert Goulet. Later on, Tom Jones. And later still, Tom Selleck. I can't really argue with her about any of them. Or Dad, either. If I had been a straight man in the '60s, I'd have liked Ann-Margret, too.

My mom had a thing for Sam Elliot. I didn’t really get it until I saw Lifeguard around the age of 12-13, then I understood my mom had excellent taste.

My mom loved Richard Chamberlain

My father always liked Claudia Cardinale

My mom had a crush on Richie Sambora—she liked skinny hair-rock types, including Robert Plant—and my dad loves Carly Simon. (My dad insists though that my mom was his dream girl and I believe him.)

My dad had a fixation for Chicago Cubs player Mark Grace, who played pro ball in the 90's and 00's. I grew up knowing how much he loved the Cubs. At the factory where he worked, he was king of organizing baseball "pools" wherein the participants bet money on games, I guess. His fandom of Mark Grace made me a fan, at least during his peak years.

My mom liked Billy Idol and Rutger Hauer. Guess she had a thing for blonds. I admit they were both cute in their youth.

[quote] My 86 year old mother loves Michael Landon; she watches Highway to Heaven every day

My mother does the same, but not for Michael Landon. She loves goody-two shoes shows The Waltons and Little House on the Prairie.

Dad: Petula Clark and Barbara Feldon (Agent 99). Yes, his teenage crushes stayed with him.

Mom: Richard Dreyfuss and Patrick Duffy. She even watched The Man from Atlantis!

In lastest onlyfans dump, Sam has scabby legs, sores. Still the big fat dick in working order.

well sorry, way wrong thread!

My mother had one wild crush - David Janssen on The Fugitive. I didn't get it, couldn't get into his morose character on the show no matter what he looked like. My father liked, wasn't mad for, but liked Barbara Eden on Jeannie.

Mom loved Elvis and Brando. The young ones.

My mom and grandmother loved Elvis and Liberace.

At different points in my teenage years both of them shouted at me “Liberace is not gay. His stage persona is that of a flamboyant showman”

My mom liked David Cassidy and later on Bruce Springsteen. Bruce was her lifelong crush. She loved Clarence Clemons as well.

I don’t know about my father’s crushes when he was young, but now in his 60’s he loves Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie.

Mom: Rock Hudson, Charlton Heston

Dad: Sophia Loren, Liz Taylor

R64, my Aunt Kelly loved Sam Elliot, not to mention Clint Walker and Hank Thompson. I will never forget the look on her face when I informed her that her dear Sam had once worked ‘blue.’ She looked embarrassed and intrigued!

My mother liked William Holden, and Tyrone Power, but her favorite favorite was Gregory Peck. She claimed she went to her dentist (who didn't use novocaine) only because he looked like Gregory Peck. Though when Mom (and Greg) were older, she didn't care for his looks any more. She had a thing for Ralph Waite. I think she also liked Brad Pitt. My dad (when he was young) liked Alice Faye and Frances Langford, but later his main crush was Goldie Hawn.

Ralph WAITE??

And I should have banged Angie Dickinson.

R78 A bit of trivia about those two men.

Rock Hudson and Charlton Heston went to high school together in Winnetka Illinois.

Heston was two years older than Rock Hudson.

Somehow I doubt they were friends.

My mother had a hardcore crush on Mason Reese.

My dad wanted to bone Ann Ramsey.

My mother liked Rod Taylor and my father said a young Barbara Stanwyck was "a babe".

My mom liked Marlon Brando, Sean Connery and Dennis Quaid.

Dad never really talked about celebrities he liked, but I know he liked the ladies because I found his stash of VHS porn when I was a teenager.

Mom liked Brando, Gregory Peck, Robert de Niro, and Anthony Quinn. She was arty and had an eye. She could have been a great talent scout or casting director. She liked Sophia Loren, both Hepburns, too. Dad was a dull professional and never watched movies.

My mom was a big The Young and the Restless fan and she had the major hots for Shemar Moore on that show.

My mum wet her knickers over this guy...

More men my mom swooned over. Chad Everett, Tom Selleck, Cary Grant, Sam Elliott. She also liked men's asses so she said the best were Huey Lewis, Bruce Springsteen and Derek Jeter.

A few years back there was a show on where Tommy Lee went to college and played in the band. I think it was Nebraska. Anyway, one episode had him on the swim team wearing a speedo. Her eyes about popped out of her head and after that if you mentioned Tommy Lee to her she'd just smile.

My mom liked Tom Cruise up until the couch-jumping incident.

R83: Thanks for the trivia. I will tell my mom!

Dad thought Linda Evans ca. Big Valley was the most beautiful woman in the world. He later moved on to Farrah Fawcett and Vanity.

Mom was into the "dangerous beauties", as she called them -- 70s Al Pacino, Richard Gere, and baseball "cutie" Derek Jeter. Speaking of Jeter, back in the day, mom mentioned a rumor about him secretly hooking up with Tyrese -- any of you bitches hear anything about this?

R79, what?!? Sam Elliott did … I’m assuming soft-core porn is what you mean by “working blue”?

Where and when did this happen? I’m not at all embarrassed but very intrigued. Very.

By the way, I like your Aunt Kelly without even having met her.

My mom (born 1926) loved Prince and Paul Newman. Dad fancied Shelley Winters (he admired hefty, healthy gals, though Mom was skinny). He also enjoyed ogling Joanne Castle's big butt bouncing on the bench while she played piano on "The Lawrence Welk Show".

Both my mom and dad adored Ann Margret. Her beauty, talent and unspoiled charm is on full display in this mesmerizing clip of 19 year old Ann singing live.

I feel so gay in a melancholy way

R44 Afraid so

R61 I met Charo about a year and a half ago, in the lobby of a hotel in Beverly Hills. She was delightful (yes, she did the coochie-coochie thing with us, poor woman must be so over it, but she was a good sport)....and I did notice her little butt still looks good in tight jeans.

My mom loved Robert Redford and Richard Gere....my dad liked Farah Fawcett and Kim Basinger....

[quote]Golden Age Hollywood Queen Van Johnson?

My grandmother didn't crush on him, but we met him once, together, and he was friendly and very nice to her. So we started to watch all his movies and he was very good. I know there's a lot of hate for him, he did that terrible Letterman interview. But he was a good actor and a cute guy when young.

My dad loved Debbie Reynolds and my mom loved James Garner.

My mother watched Lou Dobbs faithfully. I don’t remember her being gaga for any actors, but she swooned over “Unchained Melody” if it came on the radio.

My dad liked BBW. He had a calendar of fat chicks in lingerie digging into ice cream sundaes or eating overloaded hot dogs. He’d sometimes point out an obese woman in the supermarket and marvel “Look how fat she is! Wow she’s big!” He was a smallish man and grew up without enough food, so that’s probably why.

My dad liked Gina Lollobrigida.

My father's was Elizabeth Montgomery

My mother's was James Garner, and they were both fans of The Rockford Files.

R60 = The child born of Kitty and Sal Romano----right before the divorce.

My mom loved Chad Everett and so did I. As he got older he got better! Physically, every aspect of him was absolutely gorgeous. His brain on the other hand needed some work. In his later life, I’m sure he was perfect!

My father is still in love with the actress from "Back to the future", Lea Thompson.

My mother is in love with Brad Pitt.

I don't get either.

My father liked women with almond eyes so Gene Tierney and Jane Curtain. My mother liked Louis Jordan. Though a gay man I have and always will have a crush on Ann-Margret. A favorite story is the one with Edie Adams walking in on Ann and Eddie Fisher. He was cute too.

My mother dated Mike Wallace in high school. Once when he was on tv, she kidded my father, "And to think, I could have been Mrs Mike Wallace." To which he responded: "The first, second, or third one?"

Mom sold more war bonds than anyone else at the Monsanto plant where she worked during WWII. Her prize: a jitterbug with Eddie Arnold, then just back from the Marines in the South Pacific for a bond drive. Their photo was on the front page of the newspaper the next day and she kept a framed copy of it on the wall in the den until she died. Never missed "Green Acres" either.

Their favorite entertainer was the Incomparable Hildegarde, the queen of the supper clubs.

Duh, "Eddie Albert" not Eddie Arnold.

Dad - Tina Turner, Mom - Burt Reynolds

Suzanne Pleshette and Robert Redford.

Wow, it seems like it's Ann-Margret for the win!

Like R8, my mom liked Paul Newman and Robert Redford and had a picture of them from "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" on the wall. Can't remember my father ever mentioning anyone.

My Mom loved Tyrone Power. Big time.

But in later years after seeing "A River Runs Through It", she remarked how much she liked Brad Pitt. (A most unusual comment from my mother.) I told her that she was standing at the end of a very, very long line.

I don't remember Dad ever mentioning any crushes.

My mother, Stacey Keach and Hulk Hogan.

My father, David Coverdale and Axl Rose which was uncomfortable as I also had an Axl Rose thing going

R110, I love your jitterbug story.

Care to share the location of the event?

I wonder if it's possible to find the front page you mention as with so much genealogy research these days, many newspapers have been digitized.

My mom loved Paul McCartney, Leonard Nimoy and Andrew Shue

My mom was used to go on about James Garner and Tom Selleck.

The only specific actress I remember my dad commenting on more than once was Marina Sirtis (Counselor Troi on Star Trek). However, in general he seems to like brunette actresses with nice busts. I know he watched that POS Camelot series from a few years ago purely for Eva Green.

My father had a crush on Kate Nelligan. My mother had a crush on Richard Gere.

My brother had it for Linda Ronstadt.

He'd make me wear a brown bowl-cut wig and bend me over, fucking me, yelling BLUE BAY-YOOOOOOOOOOOO! when it popped.

My Dad never seemed to like anyone special but my Mom was a Sinatra fan her entire life. She and her sister were bobby soxers.

My mother adored Freddie Mercury. I remember a candle being lit the day news of his death broke.

My father seemed to worship Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, and my mother.

Dad crushes: Deanna Durbin in his teens Kim Basinger Terri Garr Shelley Long He hated Madonna! “I see fat sluts like that on the ferry every morning”

Mama: Gregory Peck- he lit her cigarette in a bar and she said his voice and manners made her melt.

Nat King Cole- the only singer she liked.

Sorry, bad formatting 😐.

Two of my sugar daddies, both born in the ‘30s, had a thing for Esther Williams.

My mom loved Tom Jones. She went to see him in concert during the '70s, and she assured me that she didn't toss her panties onstage. She also loved The Beatles, especially Paul.

My partner's mom, who's 88, loves Clark Gable.

My mom had the hots for Lorne Greene.

My dad liked.... wait for it.............Norma Shearer.

My parents didn't watch much tv but they seemed glued to the set of Hawaiian Eye. My mother told me later it was because it contained both their crushes, Mom on Robert Conrad and Dad on Connie Stevens.

Nobody. I had those kind of parents that were still kissing like teenagers and making out at 65. Maybe why I haven't been able to find anyone long term after my late partner died. I keep subconsciously expecting something that is not realistic.

My dads crushes were Julie London and Angie Dickinson.

They both had a lush beauty, r131.

Dad liked Peggy Lennon ( of the Lennon Sisters!), Leah Remini and Meredith Viera. Mom liked Tom Jones and Englebert Humperdinck.

My mother had crushes on Udo Kier and Danny Thomas.

My mom loved William Holden

I know my mother fapped to Englebert Humperdink.

My dad, too, probably.

My dad called Angie Dickinson "Angie Baby" in front of my mom. My mom liked Engelbert Humperdink and my dad said he was a pantywaist.

R135, mine, too. Holden was one of those tall, dark and handsome actors who used to be the standard of male attractiveness but are sadly rare in entertainment nowadays.

My mom was a tall brunette which I guess was my dad's type. The only woman he ever commented on was a local Boston entertainment newscaster named Joyce Kulhawick, who rather resembled my mom when she was younger. He seemed especially taken with her, it was kind of funny.

My 89 year old father still has it bad for Lynda Carter. Just sent him the tweet of her twirling for Biden and he was thrilled. My mom had a thing for Robert Goulet (bleh).

My mom had a huge crush on Mario Lanza, and I think since we lived in Pennsylvania and he was from south Philly she felt connected and that some day they would meet. Though my father was not Italian, he did have dark swarthy looks and that held part of the attraction looking like him for her. She could never really reconcile that he had drug use problems.

Mario!

My mom had a thing For Jeffrey Hunter when she was a kid and as an adult she was all about Steve Young, QB for the 49ers. My dad is a weird one, he liked Marilyn Monroe when he was in high school and had a crush on Bjork and Toni Braxton back in the 90’s.
