Can't say I'm attracted to any of them, since they're, you know, children. But when I was a kid, I had a crush on Dorothy DeBorba.

I certainly wouldn't want to have a sexual relationship with any of them, because as you quite rightly say they were children. However it is possible to distinguish between seeing something or someone as being attractive (as in pleasant to look at) or unattractive (as in yuck), whether you apply that to a kid in Our Gang, a painting or an expensive car. Anyway the original question wasn't "do you as an adult find any of the Our Gang kids attractive" but.... If you were growing up during the 30s and 40s, which "Little Rascal" star you would have been attracted to? |

Re: My childhood crush on Butch. I know, I know. I also remember a crush on a Seventies boy-actor, not named here for reasons that will become apparent. Saw him recently in a rerun and was startled; he looked like he had a Thyroid condition or something. What was I THINKING?

13 years, and still no love for Darla?
As for my favorite, Dorothy is the cutest.

It's a pity that the OP didn't include a poll. It looks as though Dorothy would have had quite a few votes.

Either Dorothy or Marianne. No particular reason.

As a 5 year old in the 1970's I had a crush on Alfalfa, now I don't think he was a cute kid. I think Baby Spanky is adorable.

Tastes change over time. I doubt that I'd be as keen on the movies, TV series and books that I really liked when I was five.
BTW: Is there any particular reason for using such a large font size?

As a ten year old I've probably have collected arcade cards featuring all of my favourite Our Gang, juvenile cowboy and other movie kids. Undoubtedly Tommy Bupp would have been my number one favourite because he was such a natural, a cheeky and animated little imp of a boy that I couldn't have helped but like him and want to be like him. Of course he wasn't in the same 'Johnny Handsome' league as Darryl Hickman, Johnnie Downs or their like, not when it came to out and out physical attractiveness. Actually in his quieter moments perhaps he was. I wouldn't have been embarrassed to have newspaper clippings of him pasted to my schoolbooks at all.    |
