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.

It was one of those 'I don't know if I fancy her or want to be her' type crushes and was basically the foundation for my love of fashion and personal style, and my predilection for annoying voices.
Also my mother hated her, which made me like her even more.
