'Gilligan's Island' star Dawn Wells: Short shorts gave Mary Ann sex appeal

I saw Russell Johnson guest-starring on “Big Valley”, Tina Louise on “Bonanza” (I think, or “Gunsmoke”), I saw Dawn Wells on “Bonanza” playing a lovely Indian girl who marries a white man, I’ve seen Jim Baccus, on some shows and movies, one of them recently, was a rerun of a show on METV (could’ve been “Rockford Files” or “Chips”, but couldn’t remember which! It was recently, though. I’ve seen Bob Denver on “Dobie Gillis”, but really didn’t see the whole episode, or the whole show regularly. I believe I’d seen both Alan Hale jr. on “Rifleman” (I think) or on one of the old western shows on METV. I don’t know If I saw the lady who played Mrs. Howell, but I think it was in an old movie. But I know I’d seen several of the cast members in guest roles in other shows, particularly the westerns!
He played a crook on “Big Valley” once! I saw it just last year on “METV”!
I was always in love with George Reeves as a little girl, and my sister and I watched it! He was so handsome and strong-looking! (laugh) I also saw him play one of the red-headed Tarleton twins in “Gone With The Wind”, and another movie (a war movie) with Claudette Colbert.
Ginger was a hottie, but Mary Ann was a sweetheart.
Alan Hale jr was in a bunch of movies and shows before and after Gilligan’s Island. Jim Baccus I think everyone knows was also the voice of Mr MaGoo. It slipped out all the time on Gilligan’s Island LOL.
WORK! :-)
“Tina Louise - they got bupkis from her because she hates discussing the show...”
Had to look up `bupkis’. Heh, heh!
ME-TV is one of the best channels.
Here is a documentary of Surviving Gilligan’s Island. Worth watching.

50th anniversary of Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer too (1964)
....and the rest.
Ya gotta watch the one with the mole people. It was great!
“Third, Ginger has been around, unlike Mary-Ann. Nuff said.”
In that case just make sure you stay on the professor’s good side so he can make you penicillin.
I was never a fan of Gilligan’s Island...I was more a Hillbillies and Hogan’s Heroes fan.But Mary Ann was,in fact,quite cute but couldn’t hold a candle to Ellie Mae.
You're right. I remember watching Klemperer on a political talk show a year or so before he died. He was really out there on the Left. However, I don't think he was as rabidly authoritarian as today's lefties are. Klemperer and Bob Crane were best friends. Crane once gave him a Mercedes Benz as a Christmas present. When Crane was murdered, Klemperer never drove the car again.
When Klemperer was offered the role of Col. Klink, he told the producers that if Klink ever prevailed in any episode, he'd quit the show. Once, when Klemperer was named the Marshal of some parade, locals protested that they didn't want a Nazi as their Marshal...Klemperer withdrew from it, but after letting them know he served in the U.S. Army during the war.
The skippers name was Jonas Bumphry, I think.
Like the studio heads, Van Dyke also didn’t believe that the series had a chance of making it and instead agreed to star in another series, “My Mother the Car,” which ended up only lasting for one season.
Ooooooooooookayyyyyyyy.......
Mary Ann all the way!

The Professor = "Roy Hinkley"
Mary Ann = "Mary Ann Summers"
Gilligan = "Willy Gilligan" (His first name was never used on the show, but Sherwood Schwartz once said in an interview that if they did a script that called for him to have a first name, it would be Willy.)
