The painfully obvious: Jennifer Connelly.

First saw her in Labyrinth when I was like 12, and she awoke something in me, and that continued when I saw The Rocketeer when my parents rented them from Blockbuster. Later when I was a little older she solidified that awakening when I saw Career Opportunities rented from Blockbuster myself once old enough to have my own account.

Gilbert Gottfried.

Winona Ryder

Alyssa Milano. She could have been my boss.

Christina Ricci

Alyssa Milano
Yvonne Craig
Eartha Kitt
Julie Newmar

Maybe the most consistent was Hermione Granger, I say Hermione instead of Emma Watson bc I never saw her as anything else and had a crush on the book character too.

The other option might be Anna Kendrick.

Mine was seeing Cameron Diaz in the Mask when I was like 6. Her walking into that bank for the first time completely changed me.
