Crushes on dead celebrities?

I have a pretty intense crush on the singer Gram Parsons, he is just the most beautiful man I haver ever set eyes on. Even though he died nearly 20 years before I was born he is my dream man ... don't you think he is so cute ...

He died so young at 26 and made some of the most beautiful, sad music ever that just makes me love him all the more!

Let me know if you think he's cute and who your dead celebrity crush is?
Howard Keel. In the 1950's that man was beautiful.
A thread for the necrophiles :biggrin:

I don't know many of his songs but I respect the choice for his association with The Byrds.

Despite being 100% heterosexual, because of my great passion for music I find great beauty in Jim Morrison. And, loving the matinee idol look, I see that James Dean and Cary Grant were v handsome men- the equivalent of Audrey Hepburn and Vivienne Leigh.
Plus the powerful charismatic masculinity of Oliver Reed who was very erudite (as interviews show- very unfair to regard him as just a drunk).

Anyway, I should pick some more women. I liked Anne Bancroft (Mrs Robinson from The Graduate). And Brittany Murphy.

Layne Staley, Heath Ledger. They're more platonic-respect-crushes than physical-crushes, if that makes sense.

Heath Ledger, always. Such a wasted talent and life. And a beautiful man.
I have more than I'd like to admit to be honest :tongue:

Syd Barrett
Nick Drake
Tim Buckley
River Phoenix

And far too many musicians from the early 60's/70's were just too handsome for words before time inevitably took it's toll. I think I was born in the wrong decade.
Freddie Mercury and Kurt Cobain.

Mitch Lucker! Singer of band Suicide Silence... So sad. He was such an awesome guy. ;( And for some reason, Michael Jackson too. And Elvis Presley. <3 Such legends.
