18 Teenage Crushes We All Had In The 90s

14. Claire Danes

The Girl We All Wanted To Bring Home Danes got her big break on the mother of all television networks for teens: MTV. Starring as Angela Chase on My So-Called Life, Danes longed for Jared Leto's Jordan Catalano who was the local bad boy, while trying to navigate the perils of high school. She was the quirky girl at school with the funky hair and cute charm that we all thought we had a chance to get with and bring home to mom, and we tuned in every week with secret hope that she would be the one for us. Following the shows cancellation, Danes would work only periodically in Hollywood, with new films coming only every few years. She can most recently and currently be seen on the Starz cable network in the critically-acclaimed television series called Homeland. Must see: My So-Called Life, Romeo and Juliet, Brokedown Palace, Homeland (Starz network)

13. Jennie Garth

Jennie Our First High School Blonde Crush Erupting onto the television screen and into the hearts of boys everywhere was Jennie Garth (above, left) from the hit TV series Beverly Hills 90210. When Beverly Hills 90210 was on the air the 1990's, boys everywhere were forced to try and choose between Garth's somewhat sexy but out-of-our-reach Kelly Taylor and Shannen Doherty's homely and sometimes mean-girl Brenda Walsh, but Kellie was always our overwhelming favorite. Always one to go for the bad boy, Jennie Garth's Kelly was the girl that was always just a bit too far out of all of our reaches, but that didn't keep us from always wanting to try for the one that would always get away. http://youtu.be/2pm5W1BZOdg Garth's career has cooled off in recent years, but she can still be found working on a variety of projects on cable television, including some recent reality TV as well as on the Lifetime Channel. Crushable Viewing: Beverly Hills 90210, and also CW's convenient remake titles 90210 #12 was Charmed for sure, and #11 was our first Friendly crush...
