Teenage Crushes pt.1: Red Heads

I thought I'd start posting actresses I had crushes on when I was a teen. There are women that you just never forget. They get into your psyche and as you get older, they get older. Sometimes, it's shocking, other times...you just shrug and wonder "maybe now...I could hook up with them." Yeah, right. But doesn't hurt to wonder:
So on with the show...

Lea Thompson is stunning. I’d seen her in “Back To The Future: and despite the fact she started off a middle aged drunk, seeing her as Lorraine Baines in 1955 was a total boner. Especially for a kid who just loved Americana. She WAS Americana. Redhead and wild, she was a bobby sox sweet girl. And it wasn’t too hard to see how you could fall into her dimples and soft eyes. Later I’d seen her in “Some Kind Of Wonderful” and “All The Right Moves” The latter she showed her tits. To Tom Cruise no less. Maybe I was puritanical at the time, but the fact that Cruise banged her in that movie, sort of ruined it for me. Yeah, fucked up, but that’s kid thinking. She has a great set of cans though.

Annette O’ Toole. Annette was stunning in “48 Hours” as Nick Nolte’s suffering cop girlfriend. I just recalled her freckles. She also showed her tits. Good stuff. I remember going to a drugstore when they had video stores, and picking up “Superman III.” That movies is GOD AWFUL. It killed three icons for me, Christopher Reeves, Richard Pryor and Annette O’Toole. She was suppose to be the replacement for Margot Kidder’s Lois Lane. It’s not a big secret Superman would prefer Annette. Another fresh faced American. In the 90's I got re-acquainted with her in "It" How is it that she was surrounded by dopes. I could've been one of those dopes. That movie holds up. That movie "It" What's it called?
Right.
Right what?
It's called "It"
Yeah, what's it called.
You got it.
Got what?
It.
Yeah, what's it called.
Exactly.
And so forth...
 Shawnee Smith. I mean technically she isn't as red as the other two fire women above. But she is the stuff made for dude crushes. I recall watching "The Blob" (as recent as a few weeks ago). I didn't realize how cute she was. As a teen, I was mostly into blondes, but something about a woman holding a flamethrower is a game changer. Almost exactly two decades later I met her on the set of "Saw." Youthful as ever. She never seems to age. And, she is really nice. I didn't have that much of a crush of her then, and COMPLETELY forgot she was in "The Blob." Which bummed me out. Guess what? The two writers of "Saw" Leigh Whannell and James Wan had massive crushes on her. That part was written specifically for her. She went on to do a few more. Most likely, even though they put a kibbosh on the franchise, she will return.
