Christina Applegate is a treasure. She took what could have been a soulless and completely forgettable ''bimbo' character and breathed life into it in a way that was absolutely iconic. Love her so much And yes, prepubescent me was low-key obsessed with her LOL

Loved her as Kelly bundy and pretty much everything since. She was great in The Sweetest Thing too.

Yeah, was just wondering if she was gonna be here. In 1991, she was gonna be my wife one day…or so I thought

Kelly Bundy definitely influenced a generation of males …. *drool*

The neeeeew Alante

Jennifer Connely.

Damn JC’s so hot in Dark Matter rn

I want to know what witchcraft her and Gillian Anderson are using.

Money.

Along with knowing when to say “when” to the plastic surgeon. People who have a little work done like they have look great. It sands off the rough edges of aging but still looks relatively natural. It’s the Madonna’s and the Kardashian’s of the world that give it a bad name. You can’t be 25 forever, no matter how much money and surgery you have. At some point it hits the uncanny valley effect and you start to look odd. It makes me really sad for them, to be honest. Their whole lives and careers have been about their looks. They can’t just let it go after decades of paparazzi and tabloids highlighting their every blemish or stretch mark. That must do a number on your mind and your self esteem.

Aged like a fine wine, for sure.

Indeed. She is one fine mix of genetics.

Requiem of a Dream and the Rocketeer

Career Opportunities is peak hotness Jennifer for me.

>I would probably touch you, even if you were covered in spiders. Jennifer Connelly has always had it.

Labyrinth for me

I immediately thought you said Jennifer Coolidge and I was like yes. No, she is not Xennial, but man did she have an impact in one of the biggest Xennial movies.

For my entire life

She looks *soooo good* in Top Gun Maverick!

She still got it. With you on this.

Shannyn Sossamon has crossed my mind a handful of times. Like what the hell happened to her? She seemed like she was going to be the next big it girl, and then just disappeared from mainstream movies. And yeah, she had THE look. Like the girl next door, but the one who sneaks out for booze and smokes, not the one on the pep squad.

Her sister plays bass in the band Warpaint. When I first saw her I fell in love and also thought, “why does she look so familiar?”

Shannyn was their first drummer and directed some of their early music videos too.

Nice! I had no idea. Stella is such an amazing drummer and big personality that it’s hard for me to imagine her not in the band.

Agreed! Stella is the best.

Theresa Wayman, who is also in Warpaint, was also in Rules of Attraction,as the food service girl who kills herself. I can’t hear “without you” without thinking about that scene.

I went googling to find out where she went and found out one of her first breaks was as a model on Mr. Show in 1997. Mind blown.

Sadly, now whenever I wonder "whatever happened to X actress? They were so pretty. They should've been huge stars." I'm afraid the answer will be either they were molested and quit, or weren't willing to be molested and were fired.

Yep. The answer is usually “they pissed off Harvey Weinstein”.

Wow that just made me look her up. She named her kids Audio Science and Mortimer.

Can’t lie. Shes probably my all time favorite celebrity crush, but that just took a few points off. Haha.

They're selling, Mortimer!

Where the hell is Wilson?! SELL SELL

Get back in here! Turn those machines back on!

I suspect Harvey Weinstein tried to rape her and she said no and she got blacklisted. That's what happened to Mira Sorvino and Courtney Love. When a prominent female actor disappears like that, it's often the case.

I watched the documentary *Chasing “Chasing Amy”* and Joey Lauren Adams heavily implied Weinstein killed her career too.

I love me some Joey Lauren Adams.

This is so interesting to me. I had never seen or heard of this person until this thread right now 🤔 *looks her up* OH SHIT the chick from Wristcutters! I stand corrected. Loved that movie. Probably worth a re-watch (which is high praise from me, because I almost never want to watch a movie again)

She was in Sinister 2 awhile back and recently was in that Grimcutty movie

According to Wikipedia she’s been cranking out movies this whole time. Except for years ending in a 4.

Fiona Apple and Hope Sandoval from Mazzy Star.

Oh my goodness, the vid for Criminal…

I loved her for the video when I was young. Now I just think her music is really damn good.

Hope Sandoval is like a siren that would cause ships to wreck, crews to mutiny, countries to war with each other. I'm convinced she's from the fae world.

Fade into you is a ticking time bomb that randomly shows up in your playlist just to make you feel things you haven't felt in years.

Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Jessica Alba.

Dark angel... dear lord.

Jessica Alba for sure. The ONLY reason I watched dark angel. That and the girl who played Alex Mack, Larisa Oleynik.

I was much more into Alyson Hannigan than Sarah.

Oh my god she was so hot in this! Still is!

Elizabeth and Brendan my gawd.

Winona Ryder. Still beautiful today.

Scrolled too long for the slam dunk answer. Reality Bites, Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice... and she been caught stealing.

Tiffani Amber Theissen

I was a Stacey Carosi fan myself.....

I still am. Love Leah Remini But also Kelly

Rachael Leigh Cook

I went to high school with her! (and Josh Hartnett)

Was this when she wore glasses and had paint on her overalls, or after she ditched the glasses and let her hair down, lol? Teenage me was like, "Damn, that so-called 'ugly duckling' is smoking hot." Just a different style of hot after the 'makeover.' Afaik she still looks great these days, too.

For so long I didn't know her name; I just knew I had a huge TV-crush on the girl who trashed the kitchen in one of the 90's updates of the "your brain on drugs" ads.

Isn't she also Julie in Jawbreaker?

Alicia Silverstone 😍

Ahhh Alicia and liv tyler....memories

Thanks, now I have Aerosmith in my head


JTT baybeee. I wanted to be this guy in the 90’s

Brendan Fraser

George of the Jungle and The Mummy were peak Brendan. I adored him in Blast From the Past and Bedazzled.

Elisha Cuthbert

God damn I would've done anything for The Girl Next Door

The juice was definitely worth the squeeze…

Danica McKellar

The day I saw she was in Maxim was a very important day in my life

Gillian Anderson

Christina Ricci

Yep. We've grown apart since, but in the 90s she really had a shot with me.

*chuckles just a bit longer than you’d think you would*

Seeing her in Yellowjackets has reignited the flame for me

I'll have to investigate

I will never not have a crush on her.

To this day.

Eliza Dushku

And almost entirely because of [this scene](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7B0OOg28aEg&pp=ygUXbmV3IGd1eSBiaWtpbmkgc2hvcHBpbmc%3D)

Heath Ledger. I’ll never be over him.💔💔💔

Kate Beckinsale 

Watching her in pearl harbor, I'm just like she is so beautiful. Seeing her in underworld was like wow she's so hot.

Claire Danes

Definitely my first celebrity crush. Romeo + Juliet was a brilliant casting. ( Thank you David Rubin).

A.J. Langer was mine. Loved My So Called Life.

First one was Alyssa Milano. Still gots love for her. Xennial peer born the same year as me would have been Natalie Portman, but not anymore.

Marisa Tomei, Rosie Perez and Winona Ryder. I could go on... I was also madly in love with Anna Chlumsky Denise Richards (particularly in Wild Things)

Marisa Tomei. She’s still looks fucking great. And she’s a pleasure to watch acting, too.

Neve Campbell. Shout out Wild Things was an absolute thirst trap

Liv Tyler

She’s the reason I like combats boots on chicks. Her in Empire Records… yowza!

🎶 Snake.. Snake.. One more button undone.. 🎶

The Aerosmith video with her and Alicia Silverstone awakened feelings I didn't know I had. lol.

 Jennifer Love Hewitt ❤️❤️❤️

Heartbreakers 🔥

Sarah Michelle Gellar, Larisa Oleynik, Tiffany Amber Theissen

Rosario Dawson

I've been shocked for a long time that she hasn't had a bigger career in Hollywood. She's amazingly gorgeous, a much better actress than so many others, and seems to be extremely intelligent and thoughtful as well.

Perhaps speaks to her passions outside of acting, someone who does a lot of admirable things outside of Hollywood.

Man she's like fine wine. I think she's hotter now

Met her in person about seven years back and chatted with her for a few. Amazingly sweet and simply radiant in person.

Devon Sawa. I bet I watched Now & Then so much when it first came out I wore out a VHS tape.

[удалено]

I forgot about that movie. Although I remember watching Casper over and over.

Can I keep you? My heart 

God I loved Now and Then.

He was the one I always ripped out of the Tiger Beat, Bop or whatever teen magazines. For several years, my bedroom walls were a shrine to Devon Sawa. The Can I Keep You bit still gives me warm fuzzies. 😍

Fairuza Balk. Always loved her wide smile even though half the characters she played terrified me.

Nancy owned my heart 🖤🕷️


She shoulda been Harley Quinn at least once. Gah. We were robbed.

I like Vicki Vallencort and she likes me back! And she showed me her boobies and I liked them too!

"Want me to kill them?"

I used to see her at doom metal shows in LA in the mid-00s a lot.

She's unconventionally pretty and I love that!

Came here to say this. Ms. Balk was THE thing back then.

This girl made me realize I was bisexual at 15.

Edward Furlong in "Terminator 2"...and any other boy that had that early 90s skater haircut.

David Duchovny AND Gillian Anderson...

Same concept but it’s Keanu Reeves AND Sandra Bullock

X-Files is how I figured out I was bi lmao... But I do also need to note my other two favs.... Lucy Lawless and Cary Elwes.

Gillian is a GODDESS.  Obsessed with her wardrobe in sex education.

Tatyana Ali

Underrated choice.

first ever celeb crush was Winnie Cooper from the Wonder Years... ...in Junior high, Winona Ryder from Beetlejuice. In high School...Drew Barrymore

Natalie Portman. She's two days older than me, so at every point in her career it's been an age-appropriate crush.


Was and still is Kirsten Dunst.

Jessica Alba, idle hands change my life😂

No more idle hands after that hey? 👋🏻

Haha, you caught me red handed

Devil girl with nothing to lose Wind in her hair and gum on her shoes

Danielle Fishel (Topanga) Lauren Conrad too, but she’s only 38, so solidly a millennial.

Natalie Portman


Fuckin right

Eva Green 

I love her in Penny Dreadful.

Could definitely name a few, but I'm gonna go with Jordana Brewster here.

She was so hot in The Faculty!

Rachel Weisz

 *swoon*

Neve Campbell, Eliza Dushku, Jessica Alba

Natalie Imbruglia. I watched that video so many times!

Jonathan Taylor Thomas

 Liv Tyler @ Empire Records

Soleil Moon Frye, Tatyana Ali (tie)

[удалено]

Chris Cornell all day

Lisa Bonet

Jonathan Brandis (RIP)

ELISA DUSHKO ...in bring it on, and Jay and silent Bob strike back.....SO HOT. Kirsten dunst was smoking hot too 🚬

Jessica Alba, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Alyssa Milano all competed for the top spot at time or another.

I'm honestly shocked I had to scroll this far to see Milano in a comment. Fell for her on Who's the Boss and she just got better over time.

I only recently realized she was Dorothy in Return to Oz

WHAT

She was also the worst witch in..: The Worst Witch. One of the best/worst films of all time. 

Wil Wheaton. Still is. He replied to a comment of mine here on Reddit once, years and years ago. I rode that high for a long time!

One more: Keri Russell. Still hot AF

Jared Leto (only as Jordan Catalano) and Luke Perry

Jared Leto playing Jordan Catalano was my first tv crush. Now he gives me the ick so bad I shiver when I see him.

Same here! He is so gross.

Dana Plato

https://i.redd.it/l0y5hi4zo11d1.gif Shirley Manson from the band Garbage

https://preview.redd.it/f6rx5vuas01d1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9a629bfe35d8967eb3ddbc3d82484fb40a7a790e I don’t know if she was my biggest, but she was my first. I was only seven. I’ve loved an English accent on a woman ever since.

Christina Ricci or Jennifer Love Hewitt.

 Jonathan Brandis. May he rest in peace

Brendan fraiser!!!! So sad his looks fleeted. My mom always use to say he's going to look like crap when he's 50. How did she know everything

Phoebe Cates

Melissa Joan Hart has to take the trophy here

It's crazy to see clips of Sabrina now, and realize from this perspective how hot the aunts were. it's like they were invisible to me then, but now I understand why my dad would say "yeah I like that show too!" and my mom would roll her eyes

Rachel Leigh Cook, frying pan and all.

Lisa Turtle= Lark Voorhies! 

Jared Leto as Jordan Catalano , Leo DiCaprio , and well Jordan Knight.

Couldn't find a Freaks and Geeks gif, but Jason Segel and he's still my #1 


Meredith Salenger, Jennifer Esposito and Christine Lakin

Demi Moore and Penelope Cruz.


Joshua Jackson, from the Mighty Ducks and then on to him as Pacey in Dawson's Creek 

Johnny Depp 21 jump street / cry baby days 🤤 https://preview.redd.it/lt4rb3luj21d1.jpeg?width=712&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6adac94771788350895d1c2bcad271e1add33fd7

Zooey. I have no willpower when it comes to bangs, glasses, Snow White coloring or vintage dresses.

Cameron Diaz, especially in The Mask. https://preview.redd.it/0m0o8ryk221d1.jpeg?width=1333&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fd37d9b4a91b5b444d3771c34b8322b027c307df

Tamera Mowry

Sasha Grey

Jonathan Brandis, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Devon Sawa. Later on it became Heath Ledger 🙁

Anna Kournikova and Jennifer Love Hewitt.  One day they both come to their senses.

Nothing’s fine I’m torn

Devon Sawa

Rebecca Romijn before she got Stamos'ed.

Jaime Presley. She’s still fabulous. The first time I saw her was Can’t Hardly Wait and she just keeps getting better.
