Then and Now – 24 Celebrity Crushes From the Past to the Present

Do you ever think about your first celebrity crush? If you're of a certain age (i.e. old like me), it's probably been a while. It's kinda fun, though, to back into your memory banks and think about that special celebrity someone. Think about what they looked like at the height of their/your crushdom - and then think about how they look today.

We recently asked our friends on Facebook to answer this two-part question. First, tell us who your first celebrity crush was/is, and then tell us how they're looking these days. The comments were great - a wide variety of celebrities that were popular in the 1950s up to the 2000s. Some of those crushes have aged better than others. And, of course, some of those crushes are no longer with us.

I offer up MY first celebrity crush, ALYSSA MILANO, as an example of someone who still looks smokin' hot even 40 years after my crush began. I think I first saw her with Arnold in the 80s action flick Commando - but the crush really hit me hard while watching her in Who's the Boss?

I know this isn't a competition, but I'm gonna go ahead and say it - my celebrity crush is hotter than yours. Fight me! Haha!

The gallery below is a collection of pictures of the rest of the celebrity crushes that we received. I'm using "Then" and "Now" loosely, so cut me some slack. Some of the "Now" pictures might be five or 10 years old - they might be even older if the celebrity is dead. Think of those pictures as a "Most Current" one I could find before they passed.
