Earliest is Christina Ricci. I was 10 and the movie was Casper.
That crush continues to this day.

Christina Ricci. I was maybe 5 or 6 the first time I saw the Addams Family movies, I was already extremely into everything scary and/or Halloween adjacent, and she was only a few years older than I was, and she was both pretty and scary, and the boy she gets paired with in Values reminded me of me. The overall effect of this was to fill me with a deep-seated lifelong fondness for spooky women in general and her in particular. A few years after that I saw Casper, which only reinforced the effect, and Sleepy Hollow showed up just in time for me to hit puberty.
Lindsay Wagner, the bionic woman. I had no fear of strong women.
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.
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.
Jessica Alba then Emma Watson and then Megan Fox 💀
But I was more grown up for the later two. My child child crush was Jessica Alba 😂
By look, Milla Jovovich in the 5th Element.
By sound, Tim Curry in Ferngully.
Probably either Shakira or Brittney Spears.
Alicia Silverstone
Fergie from Black Eyed Peas
