Helen Slater as Kara/Supergirl in Supergirl (1984).
Joanne Whalley as Sorsha in Willow (1988).
I absolutely had a thing for Sorsha in Willow. I had forgotten all about her! Now I feel a need to rewatch it.
Don't feel too bad for forgetting her. I didn't even realise I was seeing the actress who played Sorsha (Joanne Whalley) when I was watching Wolf Hall, Jamaica Inn and The Borgias - it wasn't until after watching them that I discovered it was her.
If I had Willow recorded on anything, I'd totally be watching it now too. But the last thing I recorded that movie on from the TV was a VHS tape (and I don't think it's even available on DVD/Blu-ray here anymore. I should've gotten it when I had the chance), and the VCR is pretty much stuffed.
I've always remembered Sorsha ever since I first watched that movie. She left quite the impression.
I keep thinking of the scene in the tent when Madmartigan gets hit with the love dust or whatevs, her in her nightgown...telling him to stop in that soft and tender voice.

What amused me was after the fairy's spell/'Dust of Broken Heart' wore off, Madmartigan's reaction to Willow informing him, "You started spouting poetry. "I love you Sorsha! I worship you Sorsha!". You almost got us killed!".
It's always nice to meet a fellow Willow fan, and especially someone who appreciates Joanne Whalley as Sorsha in that movie.

Fixed. If ya wanna tag him, it's just @ chaliceofevil
The first major actress crushes I had were from TV series. I guess seeing them week after week - rather than a one time movie - maintained the crush and made them more memorable. Two of them were almost exact contemporaries and both were set in the 1920s (and both were probably trying to capitalize on the success of “The Untouchables” series).
Dorothy Provine in "The Roaring Twenties" (October 1960-September 1962)
Cynthia Pepper in “Margie” (October 1961-September 1962)
Diana Rigg in The Avengers (March 1966-September 1969)
