Did you reply to the wrong post or do you need someone to call an ambulance for possible stroke?

Will definitely always be Miss Castaway in my book. she seemed to be a nice, down-to-Earth lady.

I was a young boy when Gilligan’s Island ran. I grew up on the repeats. When Dawn Wells was in a scene, it literally lit up the screen. She was as spectacular a presence as any actress on TV at the time. She is, in my book, one of the ten hottest woman performers of all time. I used to watch the show just because of her. And to think, when they cast her, she was just supposed to be a bit player...
