I just saw this on Willow’s blog. Her answers were cute. Thought I’d play along. Thanks, Willow!
Throwback Thursday #41 – First Crush

Welcome back to Throwback Thursday, the brainchild of Maggie and Lauren. This week it is Maggie’s turn to pick our theme.
Your First Crush.
Who was your first crush? First names only!
Richard Chamberlain (Dr Kildare) Sorry it would make no sense saying Richard.
Was this a celebrity or someone you knew ?
Celebrity
How old were you?
12
How old was your crush?
An adult
Did you let your crush know you liked them? If so, how?
No. But had I known how to let him know how strong it was… I could’ve been killed for propping up a mirror system so I could watch from bed, where I was supposed to be asleep. Every week. I don’t think my folks ever found out.
Did your crush like you, too? How did you know?
Sadly, no. And now I realize I wasn’t his type if far too young.
Did you get teased by your family for having a boyfriend or girlfriend?
Nobody knew.
Did you feel like you were in love or did you think it was simply a fleeting crush?
I had no clue. I was pretty naive as a kid. Maybe still.
Was this just a temporary crush or your first heartbreak?
I’m still not over him.
When you think of that person today, do you have fond memories of them?
Absolutely!!!!!!











Oh! Darlene this is just great, I loved it Richard Chamberlain. He was so handsome and gallant. He is wonderful in the Thornbirds too. Glad you joined in 💜😉
So happy to have you join in! I, too, loved the young Richard Chamberlain. He was so handsome and as a doctor even more handsome! I saw him in the off Broadway production of the Sound of Music in 2000. It was fun to see him!
I would have loved to see that. I bet he could sing! Shogun is probably my favorite, though Thornbirds might have been the runner-up. Shogun still plays in my mind as I attempt to learn Japanese.
I loved Thornbirds – so radical for it’s time.
