Harrison Ford - I thought Han Solo was the coolest guy ever and then to top it off he comes along as Indiana Jones, DONE DEAL!
Tom Selleck - Anyone who knows me understands that what Magnum means to me.
Bobby Orr - Best ever (period)!
Bruce Springsteen - The 80's had two types of people. Those who loved the Boss and Losers.
Muhammed Ali - He had it all the swagger, the look, the mouth and the talent to back it all up. I remember being sad I wasn't born earlier so I could have seen him in his prime.
Archie and Jughead - Hey seriously I spent more time with them traveling in the backseat of the car than anyone else.
John Wayne - The Duke was at the top of the list for a long time. Nothing said manhood to a preteen like the characters he played.
Michael J. Fox - Nothing quite brings back the memories like Back to the Future.
Clint Eastwood - I went to the Outlaw Josey Wales with my Dad when it came out and I was hooked. He was like John Wayne with an edge.
Not sure what is says about me that so many of these people appealed to me for the fictional characters they played. Maybe because it was a simpler time with less access and media that it allowed me to see only the good and none of their flaws. Tougher to have heroes these days I think.

I have some of the same names on my list. I'd have to add James Garner, mainly for Rockford, and Richard Dean Anderson, only for MacGyver. Speaking of 80s flashback and celebrities about whom you want to know "just enough," last night's TV movie for me was Crocodile Dundee.
