My Dead Celebrity Boyfriends include Young Michael Redgrave (oh so pretty and snarky in
The Lady Vanishes),
Youngish Jimmy Stewart (had I been Kate Hepburn's character in
Philadelphia Story,
I would've ditched Cary for him in a hot second),
and Young/Youngish/hell, any age at all Humphrey Bogart.
Seriously Dead Celebrity Boyfriend (really, way deader than yours, Susan): John Donne.
Totally
the Prince of 17th-century England.
Seriously Dead Celebrity Boyfriend (really, way deader than yours, Susan): John Donne.
Mmm, Donne. I don't have a crush on him as such, but I have been known to put his words in my characters' mouths. Typically words from "To His Mistress Going to Bed" and "The Good Morrow."
Can I have a Dead Celebrity Boy Friend? 'Cause I always wanted to be BFFs with Kit Marlowe so we could sit and snark together.

Mmm-hmmm. You come crying to me now that you fear the eating of your brains. But did you listen to me when you could have fended off the conspiracies to begin with? No, you did not. I'll let you borrow it, but only because you probably are in grave danger. Let this be a lesson to you in your lack of paranoia.
Jimmy Stewart over Cary Grant??? Wha-huh? It doesn't get any hotter than Cary Grant. That was a yummy, funny, gorgeous dude right there!
jz--you can have Michael Redgrave in "Lady Vanishes" if I can have Robert Donat in "39 Steps."
I know Gene Kelly was alive when I started my crush, but
my
Gene, the one I was crushing on, was doing his stuff before I was born.
My "ita, really?" crushes were politicians. Mostly Jamaican and African, although I had a girlcrush on Indira Gandhi. Oh, and Margaret Thatcher, but in my defense...well, there is none. I was 10. I did get to meet her, and she's the only one on that list I have. My sister got to meet Nelson Mandela, and that's a solid place to put a crush. I'm not ashamed of myself there.
Bolted from work in a flurry of pain and anxiety.
::sigh::
I am so bored with myself, you have no idea.
