Your first onscreen crush?


I'm going to be a retarded bandwagon-y blogger today and attempt to start a meme-

Who was your first film crush?
Tag your post "filmcrush" and I'll try and collate any other posts that float up.

Mine was definitely Ornella Muti from Flash Gordon, the uber-campy 1980 De Laurentis production that ruled my pre-teen subconscious. Muti's Princess Aura had an exoticism and over-the-top sexuality that stood in stark contrast to George Lucas' sexless, nagging Princess Leia. The movie was decadent and tongue-in-cheek and I still love revisiting it, and Muti's character ( "No! Not ze bore worms!" ) to this day.
