Ginger or Mary Ann?

[Kalen Braley]

Interesting thread

I read an article years ago that posited with a tinge of irony the actresses were the opposite in real life. Dawn Wells who played Mary Ann was allegedly difficult to deal with constant drama.  And to Jeff's point, she certainly didn't lack on looks as she was Miss Nevada and appeared in the Miss America pageant.

OK.
Thanks for ruining my day......err.....month

Sorry my bad. 

P.S.  I was a bit young when Gilligan's Island was in its heyday, but in retrospect the character for Mary Ann was certainly the best overall package in terms of being a keeper! Although a few wild weekends with Ginger wouldn't hurt nothing either.

Be honest when it comes to GCA are we not all generally more interested in Mrs Howell


Big Money
Older time tested
Top of the line predigree
Probably the least well known of the characters
Best neighborhood

I suspect Mary Anne(the character) was the closet wild one, especially after a professor engineered or Gilligan poured Mai tais.
