Has Anyone Ever Felt A Strong Crush On Someone From The Far Past??

You know, in those old B&W photographs and early B&W movies from the 1800s and the early part of the 20th Century, you see people. Anyone felt a strong attraction or crush to any of them even though they might be extremely old or long gone now? I did. I was deeply attracted to Johnny Weissmuller during the times he starred in the "Tarzan" movies from the 1930s. He and his chest were HOT:

Maureen O'Hara (her strength, spirit and beauty)

Grace Kelly (I saw her in Rear Window and was captivated)

Maude Adams (she is the reason I checked this movie out)

Sophia Parnok (one of my favorite poets)

I've always been a part of an earlier time, and that time is a part of me, but I'd NEVER wish to go back. NEVER. What if, in the past, you saw someone you loved, dying from addiction... What if History were changed, and your friend lived. What then, if YOU died of the same addiction...because you never knew of the anguish, and started down the same path?

I think of a line from the lovely play BERKELEY SQUARE...which was a precursor to SOMEWHERE IN TIME.

"...Not in Your Time, or in Mine.....but in GOD'S."

I think I'll wait for GOD'S TIME..... 

I do hope he won't upset Henry...

Anthony Quinn. He's not the typical handsome guy, but my goodness I just can't stop looking at his face. He isn't the normal type of actor I would go for, but there is just something about him.

Ethel Barrymore. I'm not joking--google photos of her in her youth. Not a crush so much as just appreciation of her beauty.

This has happened to me a couple of times, I'd call it infatuation more than love though. I love the past and old films so my imagination gets away from me. 1 of them was Rudoloh Valentino!

Recently I find myself intensely obsessing over someone from before I was born. And it's more intense than any of those other crushes, bordering on love, lol! It actually made me think of this film and how much I related to Reeve's character.

Does anyone know any film similar to Somewhere In Time? Where the protagonist falls in love with someone from before they were born or some long ago time?
