Apparently Ginger is still alive. For some reason I thought I remember reading that she died years ago.

i like the fact that most of those actors on that hugely popular show just vanished completely. like after several years on a sitcom, they were totally burnt out. you figure you would see them in some movies in small bit parts etc.

RIP. Gotta wonder if they all made any money on the oft repeated showing of "Gilligan's Island" for the last several decades.

So sad. She was a goddess to many a young man in the '60's, including yours truly.

I wanted so badly to be stranded on an island with just her ... and never rescued.

I just got caught up in a click/bait thing on Gilligan's Island and learned a lot. Strangely, no one believed the sitcom would be picked up or be popular at all. The only person who has residuals written into her contract was Dawn Wells. Of course, those ran out in like 1985 or so. Everyone else got zip. Tina Louise is the only one left. Sad about Dawn Wells. Tired of this virus which I apparently picked up somewhere. Just got tested today. Results in 3-5 days but I know I've got it. Sucks!!

Awful news Tom...I have several dr friends, they all say the same thing: vitamin d, zinc, vitamin c, and low dose aspirin. Good luck my friend

Now that Mary Ann has passed, will someone please make sure Gidget is OK?

 

[GGJaguar]

Love Puddles! He does some really great stuff.

Unless he means Gidget from the TV series which would be Sally Field, right? She's pretty alive I'm pretty sure. But Sandra Dee is for sure gone.

RIP Dawn Wells.
Used to watch Gilligans Island every day after school as a wee lad.
Met Bob Denver years ago at an opening for a water park.

Take care of yourself Tom!

There's only one Gidget!

Maybe he meant Ginger.
