I saw Dawn Wells interviewed about twenty years ago. She looked great. Tina Louise was known for being difficult on the set. People change. Adam West had a rough time with alcohol and depression after Batman ended. Burt Ward became a real estate millionaire.
At the end, people remembered West likewise talking a lot of real estate with his next door neighbor and good friend Van Williams, who played the Green Hornet.
So many of them gone now. Here’s to Ginger.

Bob Denver had a radio show that lasted a good while. I remember him talking about Tina and Russell (professor) sneaking off for quickies and taking long lunches together.
Maybe his radio show is what you remember.

Tina Louise...beautiful, just beautiful sentiment.
You sound like a wonderful soul.
To: CheshireTheCat
Now she seems that way
Very hard to work and deal with, during the days of the show
She basically thought she was way better than everyone else back then
Just search, you can find a bunch of articles discussing the issues.

My wife and I watched the first episode of the first season tonight in tribute.
Mary Ann is far, far, far hotter than Ginger. Hands down.

Yes. I have HCQ, but waiting for Ivermectin. Ivermectin is more powerful and with stronger results. Read up on it.

Denver said Johnson wasn’t making the trailer rock by himself.
Well, the professor was the one to always try new ways to get off (the island of course). Using the missile seemed to be the best choice.

I have always been surprised Tina Louise wasn’t seen in more acting roles after Gilligan’s Island. Maybe she was typecast as that same Poor Man’s Marilyn Monroe and couldn’t find scripts worth taking.
To: Secret Agent Man
I have heard many reports that Aunt Bea from Andy Griffith Shows was the exact same way in real life.
Very hard to work with.
Thought she was a serious actress and far, far above that role as a busybody Country Spinster.
