A Gallery of Ten 90s Crushes All Grown Up
This is mainly for people in my generation, who had crushes on girls before we really even understood what crushes were. Most of these shows are in the early to mid nineties, and even though the girls may not have been particularly hot at the time, we still loved them.
Well now it’s fifteen or twenty years later, so I decided to go back and see how everyone progressed over the years. The results? Pretty spectacular actually, and half these girls you won’t even recognize. Do you even know who that lead picture is? No one looked very good in the nineties, though I suppose someday people will be saying that about us today.
Check out the gallery below, and let me know if I missed your favorite crush.
1. Topanga (Danielle Fishel - Boy Meets World)
She was brainy, hot and into goofy guys. She was the perfect girlfriend before any of us even really wanted one. That was Topanga.
And now?
She’s still pretty damn hot, and her chest is distracting me from her horribly ugly pants. She hosts that one show on E! and I think she’s quite cute indeed.
2. Joey (Katie Holmes - Dawson’s Creek)
Back before Tom locked her in the basement Katie Holmes was the lovable Joey on Dawson’s Creek. True story, I thought she was Dawson since I had never watched the show. What, Dawson could be a girl’s name.
And now?
Make all the “locked in Tom Cruise’s basement” jokes you want (and I just did), but when photographed correctly, Kate Holmes is hotter than she ever was.
3. Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar - Buffy the Vampire SlayTer)
The teen vampire slayer that drove a stake through many of our hearts, Buffy was the ultimate 90s badass girl.
And now?
I though only vampires didn’t age?
4. Rachel (Jennifer Aniston - Friends)
Ugh, I hated Rachel, but I know a million people loved her so I felt obligated to include her in this list. I just don’t think Jennifer Aniston is hot, and no amount of nudity and ties will change that.
And now?
Damn it! What did I just say? But you went and tried it anyway. After her split with Brad Pitt, Aniston is mostly tabloid and romantic comedy fodder these days. Quite the body though, even I have to admit.
5. Winnie Cooper (Danica McKeller - The Wonder Years)
I have a feeling Winnie was many people’s first crush, despite her complete and utter lack of attractiveness for most of The Wonder Years.
And now?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
6. Clarissa (Melissa Joan Hart - Clarissa Explains It All)
I also looked up Alex Mack just to find out they’re the same damn person.
And now?
Well, I see she still likes hanging out in bed.
7. Kelly Taylor (Jennie Garth - Beverly Hills 90210)
I didn’t watch 90210, but I felt I should put someone in there on this list. Kelly Taylor seemed like the obvious choice.
And now?
Aww, she’s nice, and doing charity. Way to be Jennie Garth. And you’re cute.
8. Lucy Camden (Beverly Mitchell - 7th Heaven)
No, screw Jessica Biel, Lucy Camden was the shit when I was growing up, though I can’t remember exactly why.
And now?
Cute, but she kind of looks like a surprised forest animal.
9. Kelly Kapowski (Tiffani Amber Theissen - Saved by the Bell)
DAMN. I totally forgot that Kelly Kapowski was this hot, and in her heyday had all these girls beat by a MILE.
And now?
Oh what a surprise, hotness grows up to be hot.
10. Kimberly the Pink Ranger (Amy Jo Johnson - Power Rangers)
Yes, come on. You now you loved her, even if you didn’t want her action figure.
And now?
Quite the cutie, and not sprawled out on a bed naked like most of these girls. Stay classy Amy Jo.

Larisa Oleynik was Alex Mack, not Melissa Joan Hart. And she was in 10 Things I Hate About You.
Fresh Prince of Bel Air: Ashley Banks (Tatyana M. Ali)
Who’s The Boss: Samantha Micelli (Alyssa Milano)
Honorable mentions?
Alex Mack is Larisa Oleynik from ‘10 Things I hate About You’
I recognized Kelly Kapowski in the banner, because she’s always been hot.
Something crazy about Danica McKeller is that she’s something of a math genius. She’s written books and taught on the subject. She was gifted with beauty and brains. Awesome.
You must have a pretty good st pats day hangover if you
a) Left Alyssa Milano off this list.
b) Think Alex Mack was/is Clarissa.
c) Think people won’t recognize Kelly K.
Kapowski slayed me then, and she slays me even more now.
Where the heck is DJ from Full House? Candace Cameron is a full blown hottie and married to the younger brother of one of the greatest hockey players to lace up in the last two decades (I love hockey, so it’s notable)
How did you miss Lacey Chabert? The younger girl on Party of 5.
She’s all grown up know.

DJ from full house was a pig. On the other hand, the younger drug addict sister is looking pretty hot these days.
Owwww, Topanga <3
I don’t mean to be a correction maniac but that ‘now’ picture of Danielle Fishel is at least 10 years old…
Also, the ‘now’ picture of Amy Jo Johnson is about 12 years old. Its a promo shot from Felicity.
Of course the ‘now’ picture of Tiffani Theissen is from a photosohot that’s pretty old as well.
Hey, try going to GettyImages and searching names there, you’ll find the most recent pictures of someone that way
Topanga. Yum. Curvtacular.
How about some Lisa Turtle?
this is the actual melissa joan hart…

Alyssa Milano was an eighties crush. That’s probably one reason she’s not on this list.
Umm…I’m pretty sure Jennifer Aniston was already “All Grown Up” when Friends was popular. She doesn’t look all that much different now that she’s older either.
Kind of funny to talk about 90s stars “all grown up” and then the “after” picture of Melissa Joan Hart was taken IN THE 90s! OVer 10 years ago!
“and not sprawled out on a bed naked like most of these girls. Stay classy Amy Jo”
Gotta love the sarcasm in that.
umm, Amy Jo was in a porn or at least very nude in a sex scene in a movie in the 90s.
I think the author confused Alex Mack with Sabrina the Teenage Witch, which was played by Melissa Joan Hart.
Forget Alex Mack, Annie Mack! (Meredith Bishop)
Amy Jo was never in porn.
Where are people getting this misinformation?
@ Angela:
I had heard that (untrue) rumor elsewhere before. It would be interesting to know how it started.
Amy the pink ranger was in playboy i thought?!
I will award 1 internet to whoever can post the link. I’d search but NSFW
Melissa Joan Hart was not Alex Mack….
How about Kelly Bundy (Christina Applegate) from Married…With Children huh?
What are you talking about? Winnie was ALWAYS attractive.
WOW….Winnie is smokin hot!
you’re missing all the girls from the show that suzanne summers and patrick duffy were the parents on. cant remember the name, essentially a 90’s brady bunch
STEP BY STEP.
Excellent one! Angela Watson was INSANELY the hot.
Where’s Dina from Salute Your Shorts? You call this a list? Or Katrina from All That? (After she hit puberty and got real hot)
Yeah right. I’m out.

All look great nowadays
@deathskins:
I don’t know about the rest of that list, but I don’t think Jonathan Brandis looks all that good today, considering he committed suicide in 2003.

how about punky brewster (soleil moon frye). she is a full fledged hottie now.
reckon punky was 80s. my bad.
Linda Cardellini - Freeks and Geeks.
I never heard of 3 of them. I only heard of Katie Holmes because of the Tom Cruise love-fest. I didn’t know she was on Dawson’s Creek. Another 4 are not really pretty. So, that leaves Jennifer Aniston and Tiffani Amber Theissen are the only two that should be from this list.
Many of those “now” photos have been touched-up by magazines. Out of the 10, probably the only classy one left is Jennie Garth. How can you call Amy Jo Johnson classy?!? Duh, Amy Jo posed for Playboy.
Re: Superman
Amy Jo Johnson never posed for Playboy. I don’t know what imaginary magazine covers you have been conjuring in your head.

Her some old pics of her when she was younger…..
http://bispoverde.blogspot.com/2009/01/amy-jo-johnson-mamas_24.html
Some of those pictures are obviously photoshopped.
u could be missing ’six’ from blossom.she was hot
They Got even hotter .
when they are small they are cool look sexy, but now some of them are hot as hell.
Alex Mack wasnt Melissa Joan Hart!
She was Larisa Oleynik.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0646351/
that picture of Melissa Joan Hart is from a Maxim article from almost 10 years ago. I think she’s not quite as fit now.
I so had crushes on most of them. It’s hard to think that nobody in my family noticed or in denial that there eldest girl had crushes on most of thos girls…er women. Then again I was little.
