Default Dawn Wells (Mary Ann, Gilligan's Island) died

Dawn Wells, aka Mary Ann on Gilligan's Island, died. She was 82. COVID contributed. Some trivia: Dawn was Miss Nevada in the 1959 Miss America pageant. She also beat out 350 other actresses for the Gilligan's Island part, including Raquel Welch. We old timers wouldn't have minded Raquel Welch on the show either. RIP Dawn.

After watching the first season as a tweenager I learned two things:

1: I voted for Mary Ann.

82 years old, I just can't picture that young lady as an 82-year-old.Even in grade school when that show was on, I never would've thought she was 19 years older than me.
A side note, there's a music video by the Bobby Fuller Four doing a Buddy Holly song, "Love's Made A Fool Of You," and I swear to goodness that she is one of the dancing girls, shown 2 or 3 times, on Bobby's left. Most girls on videos are models, etc., so I wouldn't be surprised if that was her.
Is any Gilligan Islander still alive? She was definitely a babe. Raquel Welch? The prettiest woman to ever walk the Earth? Too much beauty for the professor!

I am heading out for a coconut cream pie. Anyone wonder what it would be like to have a little gathering in Genie’s bottle with Genie, Maryann, Ginger, Marsha and Helga? Dream the impossible dream...

RIP Maryann.

Who the heck is Helga? And as a teenaged boy, Maryann (Dawn) was a great comfort! RIP!

With her passing, that leaves only Ginger....Tina Louise...left alive from the cast.

I am posting this pic of "Mary Ann" as a purely educational effort for those members here who may be too young to have known who she was.

Dawn Wells as Mary Ann was the kind of girl that the phrase "the girl next door" was meant to apply to. She was fun to watch and earned her place in American popular culture.

Back when I was still on fakebook, Dawn was still quite active and attractive.

For me it was no contest, Mary Ann all the way!

If I remember she was the only one on the cast smart enough to write in residuals on her contract. She made millions from the syndication of the re-runs of the show and the other cast members basically got a zip

Wasn't her, she's had some financial troubles even needing a GoFundMe page for health issues the last few years. Thankfully her fans came through with $200K.

Did Actress Dawn Wells Make Millions from 'Gilligan's Island'?

Ginger was glamorous.

Mary Ann was adorable.

Lovey was loaded.

Tough choice.

Maryann all the way.
I always seemed to like the "Regular Girl" on those shows.
Maryann on G.I.
Bailey on WKRP
Janet on 3's Company

Eighty-two is not that old, by modern standards. We have lost so many people this year that might still be around if not for the present mess we find ourselves in. As to the age old question, I guess I too was always torn between the glamour and the coconut cream pie. I don’t know if I ever made a decision.

Is any Gilligan Islander still alive? She was definitely a babe. Raquel Welch? The prettiest woman to ever walk the Earth? Too much beauty for the professor!
Tina Louise is the only one left.

She had been having some serious health issues the past few years which I have no doubt contributed significantly to her departure.

Although I only talked with her in a few conference calls, I had the opportunity to represent Mrs. Wells when I was practicing law in Nashville.
At that time she owned several rental properties and one on her tenants had filed a Chp. 13 bankruptcy proceeding and owed a lot of back rent.

Her real estate attorney and I were acquainted and she contacted me to ask if I would represent "Marry Ann." I wasn't going to miss that opportunity and remember her voice well. It would melt the ice caps.

The crash of the real estate market during the late 80's, in Nashville, took its toll on her finances. As previously stated, her fans came to her rescue a couple of years ago and she was able to live a dignified life.

I hope she finds peace and blissful rest on her heavenly island.

The actress who played Ginger is the sole surviving cast member.

There was one episode where Mary Ann fell and bumped her head and after that she thought SHE was Ginger. She then put on a very revealing dress and did her hair and makeup all sexy with a nice tan and started talking in a sultry and provocative voice, she was even trying hard to kiss Gilligan but the idiot was resisting. That episode was when I really started liking her more than Ginger!

RIP. I remember from Gilligan's Island as well as the movie The Town That Dreaded Sundown where she portrayed one of the victims of the killer but who survived which my mom took me and my brother to see when it was in the theaters. A movie made by the same group that made The Legend of Boggy Creek.

Barbara Eden (Jeannie) is still alive at 89.

"Mary Ann" was always the correct answer, as was "Betty" to the question "Betty or Wilma."
