Ginger outlives Mary Ann

Posted on 12/30/2020 7:09:26 PM PST by SamAdams76

Well it's been a long time since I saw that show.

I always liked Mary Ann over Ginger.

Now she's gone. Ginger still alive and kicking at age 86 though.

I don’t know, but if you remember the show, you are officially in the old people’s club.

Not if you watched in reruns. I watched as a kid in the 1970s. But, many grew up with it later than that.

They'd probably have killed and eaten him first in real life.

Heh, yep.

It was in Gilligan’s hands to supply them.

Yes, but apparently Dawn Wells (Mary Ann) was flat broke when she died today. I hope Ginger invested better.

I assure you, Ginger is not flat.

Given the politics of the show, Ginger is the last one On the Island.

Rest in Peace Dawn.

There was a commercial about a 25 years back, I think for a beer company, with three guys standing around and one asks "Ginger or Mary Ann?" and everyone agrees "Mary Ann."

Then another guy asks "Mary Ann, or Genie?" And everyone shouts enthusiastically "Genie!"

Found it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfGgiETAg1I

If only they had all stayed in isolation on the island they would still be alive!

RIP Dawn.

She was 82. I’m calling covid 19 bullshit on this one.

Call me crazy, but I did follow her on FB, originally just cuz I was curious to see if she was as genuine and real as she was in interviews/appearances, she was. Always upbeat, her last post that I saw was on Xmas eve, wishing everyone Merry Christmas and no mention of being ill. Never knew where her politics were, didn't matter, she was a good person from what I could see. RIP Dawn

She's supposed to be worth around $6 million today.

Ginger’s curse.

She resisted participating in reunions and cursed the show for ‘ending’ her career.

Now she’s the only one left to talk about it.

Strangely enough... this is incredibly sad to me.

One of my fondest childhood memory shows...

RIP, Dawn... you were America’s Sweetheart, to me.
