    So much has been said about Tina Louise’s feelings about Gillian’s Island, usually with words like “bitter” or “difficult” being used. Learning about her childhood, it seems to me that Tina learned it was ok to say no or ask for what you wanted. She never did any reunion movies after the show ended, so it sounds like she’s not the one who had trouble moving on with her life. The public just wouldn’t let her. This way she gets to tell her own story without anyone else’s interference. Good for her!

      Very true. She obviously does not like to talk about the show and does not have fond memories of the experience. That's fine, but she has to know that her fame and public recognition comes from her role as Ginger Grant and not any other work she has done. She should appreciate the fans of Gilligan's Island and at least be gracious enough to answer questions and talk about the show more in depth when asked to.

    I love when she says "mainly I want to talk about the book." She read the room - two young interviewers lazily referring to a silly TV show that they probably have never seen as "iconic" and expecting the interview to be only about that. Tina Louise has long said that she was lied to about the extent of her role on Gilligan's Island, and that she hates the show because it typecast her and ruined her career. It's why she never participated in any of the TV movies or went to conventions. Of course, I am sure these interviewers didn't even bother to google her. One even admitted in a question that she didn't even bother to read the book jacket. Amateurish stuff.

      It’s true that Tina has always wanted to be seen for more than her role on Gilligan’s Island, but I wouldn’t say she hates the show. In fact, in recent years she really seems to have softened to it and seems to acknowledge and appreciate its impact on people. But yes, she was there to talk about the book and she let them know!

      ​@@franko6677I always got the impression she may have been lied to by her agent about the show Gillians Island and that she was told she was going to be a star of the show.
      The new book does seem to explain why some of the secretive female narcissistic behavior happened on the set and after the show. It obvious she had the lack of parents in her life and she took that out on others.
      At the time of the show was made television was considered a low cheap form of entertainment and I believe she always thought of herself as being either a actress good enough to star on Broadway or be a big star in movies. Which she is a great actress however with stardom it's fleeting and most only get a chance to be good a one format.
      The question about the show is I have heard very little from her about the show. It's like she doesn't want to talk about it.

      The chances of any kind of success in Hollywood for an actor/actress is about 80,000 to 1. Tina Louise had her day in the limelight and she could have used that opportunity to further her career but instead became bitter over it's success in subsequent years. And if she ever thought that a show called "Gilligan's Island" was going to be about her....then she's not very bright.

    It is what it is. I think the interviewers were on target. If not for Gilligan's Island, none of us would have ever heard of Tina Louise. Perhaps her career would have been more fulfilling if she embraced the character the way the fans of the show did. Her bitterness, almost regret, comes through in this interview. She was not above the part she played. This is what made the other cast of characters so endearing. Few will read her book. Few care. A wonderful woman I am sure. My grandmother was too, but she wasn't a star on Gilligan's Island!

    I can understand her displeasure with the show. In a sense it destroyed her acting career. After Gilligan's Island she was type cast as a red headed version of a dumb blonde type character, which she absolutely wasn't. Francis Bavier had a similar fate. After Andy Griffith she was type cast as an "old maid"! Both considered themselves and were very capable dramatic actresses.

Embrace it already!), the way she's plopped on and shunted off because there's apparently something more pressing that they need to get to in our ADHD-esque viewer habits... The show she left "Fade Out - Fade In" had all the makings of a hit, but the wheels came off when Carol Burnett suffered a neck injury in a taxi accident, then lost interest in continuing with the show until she was forced back. So it's now basically forgotten (though she hired the choreographer and a key dancer to take part in her immortal "The Carol Burnett Show!")

    Helps to at least glance at a summary of the book before interviewing the author on the book itself. Astonishingly unprofessional.

    I was at a mall 35 - 40 years ago although no memory of state, city or specific location and ran across she and Bob Denver sitting at a table signing autographs. They might have been promoting something? It seemed rather odd. I said hi and took a couple pictures of them. Bob was wearing his white Gilligan hat/cap. She was wearing jeans and t-shirt. Those photos are in a box. Maybe I'll put them on ebay. Anyone know if they're worth anything not having been signed?

    👎 Tina Louise hasn't changed her attitude towards GILLIGAN'S ISLAND in all these years... Even at 90 years old she hates it. She's always hated the ONLY SHOW that made her famous. For years when the entire original cast got together to make sequel movies to the original, Tina never was in them. They always had to find a substitute. She always thought she was too fine an actress for that show. She STILL DOES. I have no interest in reading her book.

    Nobody cares about Tina Louise's life from birth to 8 years old. We only care about Gilligan's Island. It's a shame SHE of all of them is the last man standing.

      It’s sad to say but this is true because it’s not as if she was known as a child, there isn’t a documented public account of those years that captivates people. She did this book maybe as therapy and to distract people from a show she hated and leave this as legacy, despite not having an audience for it.
