"Dawn Welles also aged a lot better, too."
That is very true. She STILL looks good.
I lean towrads redheads, but Mary Anne had that irresistable "girl next door" quality that I have always found to be dead sexy.
I find a wide range of looks to be sexy. Girl next door, across town, uptown, downtown, another town. Ginger is very goodlooking but I couldn't imagine humoring her for a long term thing. Mary Ann was more genuine and sweet, and probably would be a better companion.
I saw Dawn Welles a few years ago on tv and she looks fantastic. Tina Louise wasn't as lucky.
