Shaun Cassidy , Leif Garrett and a panda bear

Thanks for sharing @Hazeleyes ! Sounds like your wall was a mix of heartthrobs and something adorable — quite the combination! Were you more into Shaun Cassidy or Leif Garrett back then, or was the panda your favorite part of the display?

Angie Dickinson

Thanks for sharing @gms06841 ! Angie Dickinson — now that’s a classy choice. She was such a strong and stylish presence on screen. Did you have her up because of a particular role, like Police Woman, or just because you admired her style?

Donny Osmond,Mikey Jones. And a Koala

Donny Osmond

Thanks for sharing @pebbles2025 ! Donny Osmond was such a favorite back in the day — that smile and those songs were hard to resist! Did you ever get to see him perform live or have any of his records?

 

[TriciaR]

Jimi Hendrix, Walter Payton, and my favorite, the final shot of the movie "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid!!

Thanks for sharing @GaryBlake ! That’s such an interesting mix — music, sports, and a classic film moment all in one! Were you more drawn to Jimi Hendrix’s music, Walter Payton’s talent, or the storytelling in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid?

I had what could be considered John Denver wallpaper. I think I had 16 posters of him.

 

[TriciaR]

Bobby Rydell. So thankful that later in life I got to meet him.

Thanks for sharing @Pattij50 ! That must have been such a special moment — meeting someone you admired enough to have on your wall growing up! What was Bobby Rydell like in person?

 

[TriciaR]

Donny Osmond, who else in the 70's.

Thanks for sharing @tkelly58 ! Haha, you’re absolutely right — Donny Osmond was everywhere in the ’70s! Did you also like his music with Marie, or were you more of a solo Donny fan?

 

[TriciaR]

I was not allowed to put posters on my wall. Although I once snuck a poster in my closet of a little altar boy advertising Jewish rye bread that looked just like my boyfriend at the time. My daughter, in the 90's, had the Backstreet Boys and AJ McLean posted on every square inch.

Thanks for sharing @mmarple — that story made me smile! Sneaking a poster into the closet sounds like a clever workaround, and the part about your daughter’s Backstreet Boys phase is so relatable. Did she ever get to see them in concert, or was it more of a bedroom dance-party kind of fandom?

 

[TriciaR]

MC Esher

Thanks for sharing @Pcad48 ! What a fascinating choice — MC Escher’s artwork is so mesmerizing with all those impossible shapes and optical illusions. Do you remember which of his pieces you had up?

 

[TriciaR]

Led Zeppelin

Thanks for sharing @Groovygranny59 ! Led Zeppelin — now that’s a classic choice! Their music defined an era. Did you have a favorite album or song that you played on repeat back then?

 

[TriciaR]

Are you kidding? My foster mother wouldn't even let us sit on our beds, much less put a poster on the walls....lol

Thanks for sharing @Scorpio1027 ! Sounds like your foster mother ran a pretty tight ship! Did you ever make up for it later on — maybe by decorating your own place just the way you wanted?

 

[TriciaR]

Donny Osmond, of course!

Thanks for sharing @Debthina ! Of course — Donny Osmond seems to have had a special spot on so many walls back then! Did you also watch The Donny & Marie Show when it was on TV?

 

[TriciaR]

John Travolta, Rick Springfield, David Cassidy, Bobby Sherman.

Thanks for sharing @Miry ! What a lineup — your walls must’ve been filled with charm and great hair! Out of that bunch, did you have a particular favorite, or did they all share equal poster space?

 

[TriciaR]

My parents would not permit me to hang any posters on my bedroom walls due to the fact that the walls were made of plaster. Their house, their rules.

Thanks for sharing @RoyzToyz ! Sounds like your parents were serious about keeping those plaster walls in perfect shape! Did you ever collect posters anyway, even if you couldn’t hang them up?

 

[TriciaR]

Donna Summer and the Beatles

Thanks for sharing @Squirrel Kat ! That’s such a fantastic mix — disco and rock legends side by side! Did you ever try dancing to Donna Summer’s hits, or were you more into singing along with the Beatles?

 

[TriciaR]

Peter Frampton

Thanks for sharing @Machbaby ! Peter Frampton — now that’s a classic! His live performances were incredible. Did you have the Frampton Comes Alive! album too?

 

[TriciaR]

Bobby Sherman, had a life-size picture from 16 magazine.

Thanks for sharing @meckpkj1976 ! Wow — a life-size Bobby Sherman from 16 Magazine! That must’ve been quite the room feature! Did you keep it up for a long time, or did your tastes change as new teen idols came along?
