Every boy's favorite girl next door from Gilligan's Island has passed away from complications from COVID-19. In the world of Ginger or Maryann I was always a Maryann guy. She was cute and funny. From what I have seen of her just a nice person. RIP. 2020 cannot end soon enough!

She was more than the girl next door to me. She was the hot, fun girl on Gilligan's Island. This is sad news another victim of f'n Covid-19.

So sadden to hear this. And another covid-19 victim, no less. Isolation on a desert isle might not have been too bad.

R.I.P., Dawn, and thanks.

Bought this art print of Mary Ann off Robert Jimenez's site a few years ago. I, too, preferred Mary Ann. RIP

She just posted a Christmas greeting on Facebook 6 days ago and looked well. RIP. :(

RIP, Dawn. Mary Ann was always the choice. I didn’t know about the Facebook thing, but it must have hit her fast.

I saw her at a fundraiser thing where she was one of the speakers. She was a fun and funny gal. A real-life Mary Ann.
RIP

(And poor Ginger; weren't we all Mary Ann fans? BTW, Tina Louise is the last surviving member of the Island at age 86.)

I loved them both, but if push had come to shove it would have been Ginger for me.
It was the red hair that sealed the deal.

Dawn was perfect in the role, and was apparently as nice a person off screen as on.
Rest In Peace.

I like redheads, too, but petite trumps redheads for me. And she was sweeter and nicer and less self involved, but that didn't seem atypical for an actress. I never really got why Skipper was so hot for the ginger Ginger.

The NY Post talked to Tina Louise about Dawn Wells. They got along great.
