Farewell Mary Ann, thanks for the childhood memories!
Dawn Wells who played Mary Ann Summers on Gilligan’s Island past away today at 82 of complications of Covid-19.
She was a wonderful person and talented entertainer. She will be missed.
Raise your hand gentlemen if you didn’t have a crush on her when you were a child or Vietnam veteran fighting the war?
Rest In Peace Mary Ann, and join the rest of your cast(-aways) (excluding Ginger who is the last survivor.)

I spent many an afternoon once I got home from school watching Gilligan's Island.
Rest In Peace, Ms. Wells and thank you for the many fond memories....

I was crushed when I saw the news yesterday. Probably spent 30 minutes looking at old photos online and video clips. Like a part of my childhood just disappeared. RIP Dawn.

The gal that made me love coconut cream pie.
A little bit of trivia for those that battle with the "Ginger of Mary Ann" quandary...
In the early 1980's cartoon series, "Gilligan's Planet" Dawn Wells provided the voice tracks for Mary Ann AND Ginger.
...some times you CAN have your cake and eat it too
Rest In Peace Ms. Wells

RIP. Like many I had a crush on her as well. Most thought Ginger superficial; EVERYone wanted to marry Mary Ann. B'bye dear.

She was an icon of the day and appears to have lived a happy life. That role probably reached more people than can be imagined, including myself. I’m moving from “ this is very sad” to WTF is responsible for this and what are we doing now about the next round 
As many here realize a low intensity conflict has escalated and many of the powers that be have decided on an ostrich approach.
Step 1 Buy American Made...
Step 2 Know what your buying...
Step 3 Withdraw any support for companies within the chain of profit involving support to belligerents.
Be loud and be proud, our voices need to be resonating in every head of leadership...

Rest in Peace, Dawn! I also was a Mary Ann fan.
That makes Ginger the sole survivor of the 3 hour cruise.
