"Gilligan's Island" star Dawn Wells, known for her iconic role as Mary Ann Summers on the popular series, told Fox News she is going through financial dire straits but was surprised to learn of a GoFundMe page set up to help her pay her bills.
"Although Dawn won’t deny that she is indeed having a rough time,” her rep told Fox News, “she has been keeping her wits about herself and like so many others is doing her best to overcome difficult times."
He added that the Wells, 79, has not decided yet whether she will use the funds or return them.
“She was caught completely unaware of her well-intended friend's creation of a GoFundMe page. At this time, it has not yet been decided whether she will return the funds so generously donated by her fans and friends or if it will go into a trust/fund that would help alleviate the previously mentioned issues.

>>After all Mary Ann has done for you...<<
What, cause teenage brain-blood and fluid loss?!
Here's how your choice would look today:
“Gilligan’s Island’ star Dawn Wells seeking $180K from fans”
How could she be surprised and undecided whether she will keep the money or not?
I notice the fundraiser person gets a 10 percent “TIP” right off the top. He wouldn’t make stuff up would he?
Was always a Marry Ann - girl next door fan....Ginger seems to have been hit by several buses.....
You’d think Thurston Howell III and Lovie would help.......
Their modern day versions would be Mr. & Mrs. Pelosi, taking a 3 hour cruise...a 3 hour cruise
I guess beauty is no guarentee of security.
Ginger just got old, like most of us. She lived in my neighborhood for years - the Tudor City area - and I used to see her all the time. She toured the country doing the play “Love Letters.”
I hope to get the same $upport in my retirement age ..
no pity from me
I would love to spend a day with Dawn, Raquel and Barbara(Eden) drinking wine, hanging in the hot tub and listening to their stories.
My original fantasy was spending a weekend with Ann Coulter, Monica Crowley and Laura Ingraham, hanging in the hot tub, drinking margaritas and doing helium shots while reading passages out of Al Franken’s book.
Ginger?
Or Mary Ann...
No Brainer
But would Laz hit it?
Raquel Welch, who was still a newcomer to Hollywood at the time, auditioned for the role of Mary Ann, but lost out to Dawn Wells.
Forget Laz, if you’re talking about Dawn, I’d hit it. If you’re talking about Tina, he’s welcome to her...
Consider Jennifer Aniston ... so very still hot at 49, worth 200 million.
Took care of herself, worked at her beauty and educated herself into business.
Sells cosmetics and by any standard is successful.
You and me both.
Geez!
And had a nose job according to every other female on the planet....
