“Dawn Wells, who became a megastar by playing the sexy Mary Ann on “Gilligan’s Island” has died.
“Her rep says Dawn died from COVID Wednesday.
“Wells was one of 2 surviving members of the cast … Tina Louise, who played Ginger on the show, is now the sole surviving cast member.
“The show only ran 3 years — from 1964-1967, but it became a cultural phenomenon. The premise — Gilligan, the skipper et al hopped on a boat for a 3-hour tour — A THREE HOUR TOUR — and it became shipwrecked on a deserted island.
“The show was all about the hijinks of survival and the interaction with the hilarious characters, including Professor Roy and a very rich couple, Lovey and Thurston Howell III.”
