Fran Fine from The Nanny.
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.
The earliest, specific crush on a celebrity I can remember was Lindsay Lohan in as early as 2003, but maybe 2005 or so. I was a middle schooler.

I think my first was Linda Carter.
Definitely on my list.
Candice Bergen I'm the Wind and the Lion

Lindsay Wagner, the bionic woman. I had no fear of strong women.
Man.....what 12 year old me would have given to explore Alex Mack's secret world....
Adrian Paul in The Highlander TV Series.
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.
Only correct answer.
This might awaken something in you:
bro do you even shoedini?
Danielle Fischel and Rider Strong (Topanga and Shawn from Boy Meets World). Trying to understand how I could be attracted to both led to some important realisations as a young teen...
Heath Ledger
Alyssa Milano. She could have been my boss.
Alyssa Milano
Yvonne Craig

Julie Newmar
Christina Ricci
Ricci circa Buffalo 66 was peak. Then she got all Hollywood skinny and she lost all appeal to me.
Jonathan Taylor Thomas.
Tracey Gold
Jessica Rabbit
Jennifer Connelly in The Rocketeer
Delores O'Riorden.
Watching her dance under a waterfall covered in gold paint for the music video for Zombie really did it for child me apparently.
Leonard Nimoy as Spock
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.
