Very, very informational, interesting, and well-researched video. Especially liked the delve into the great pool of famous actors/actresses playing guest spots on the show. Although I watched the show religiously at the time, I cannot remember how most of the guests made it off of the island, once there, and returning home without revealing the castaways' location for rescue. Also, unless I missed it, you failed to mention that Vito Scotti also played the "Japanese Sailor" who sailed around the island in his submarine with no communication devices to reach his homeland.
A lot of people don't know this but when Natalie Schafer was dying Dawn wells was her care giver dawn wells must've been as beautiful inside as she was out side.
Dawn Wells basically played herself in G.I. A sweetie but not a pushover. According to a book written by Russell Johnson (the Professor), Dawn Wells got much more fan mail than any member of the cast, including “Gilligan”. Not bad for an actress who wasn’t even mentioned in the opening credits of the first series. Apparently, Bob Denver (Gilligan) threatened to quit if she and the Professor weren’t credited, so they were included in series 2 & 3 intros. Russell Johnson has only nice things to saw about Dawn in his book. He says she always knew the filming scheduling by heart and was invaluable because of it.
@@penguinvic9892 i never said they didn't count as fan letters i was jus saying that those fan letters were probably love letters and maybe even a few marriage proposals lol and i don't doubt that Tina louise got more then her fair share of love letters from fans. they were both so beautiful. what sets mary ann apart for me was tha she always seemed like the girl next door type.I have to admit when i heard on he radio that she was busted for drugs i was really shocked but to error in human i guess.
@@penguinvic9892Dawn was Maryann and the nitty gritty dirt band wrote a song about her. I was in live with her since I saw her. Some women are like that.
@@mikebaird6788Do you remember Alan Hale and Bob Denver, in a Brief television series called "Dusty's trail"? You don't see it anywhere any more, Even on the oldies stations?!
The thumbnail is incorrect. Alan Hale was the Skipper on Gilligan's Island. Bernie Hamilton was the Captain on Starsky and Hutch and he was a black man!
You said it. I knew there was something peculiar about this. I also can't wait until the original Gilligan's Island cast and crew members find out just how terrible our modern American comedy shows are today. When I listened and watched one segment of the ABC comedy series called Abbott Elementary, I didn't laugh. They definitely have a real crummy sense of humor.
@@georgeshelton6281Just how would you know, how the original cast and crew members, could find out how terrible, today's TV shows, really are🤔. I'd like to, know that🙄!!!
Alan Hale Jr. Also played Casey Jones on a scheduled weekly show back about 1958 or so. I only saw a few back then, I think it ran for about 2 to 3 seasons.
Maynard Gwalter Krebs (aka Bob Denver) is the "beatnik" sidekick of the title character in the U.S. television sitcom The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, which aired on CBS from 1959 to 1963.
Did you notice that Dr. Menkes will only best know/remember Bob Denver as Maynard Gwalter Krebs in Dobies Gillis and never as Willie Gilligan from Gilligan's Island?
Vitto Scotti also played Enzo the baker in Francis Ford Coppola's "The Godfather". He was one of the people who asked Don Corleone for a favor early in the film, then was also in the hospital scene.
Tina Louise is indeed still living, becoming the last survivor when Dawn wells passed in 2020. And in July of '24, she surpassed Natalie Schaefer by becoming the longest-lived as well.
@@grantgarrod2232 Thanks for this I stand corrected. Natalie was known to have fudged her age to get on Gilligan Island but I’ve done my sums on the agreed date listed as her birth, from multiple sources, and indeed it would be correct on the available data that Tina Louise has past her by some days now. Thanks for the info.
During the entire run, Gilligan, Skipper, and The Professor always wore the same clothes, but everyone else wore different outfits in different episodes. If it was only supposed to be a 3 hour cruise, Ginger, Mary Jane, and the Howells packed enough clothes for an extended vacation. As the show was abruptly cancelled, leaving viewers wondering if they missed an episode of them getting rescued. In the Hunter episode, which was in the final season, maybe they should have had that episode as the series finale, where the hunter actually did have them rescued, and they returned got an awesome homecoming in Hawaii.
The guest roles on the show, really anyone other than the core 7, always had to written in such a way that their appearance failed to result in the castaways being saved.
My favorite character in Gilligan's Island was the Professor because he wad able to improvise all kindd of gadgets that made life a lot easier on the island. Let. Me know what character you like the best..❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
I hate being drawn to these videos because of AI mispronunciation of names and incorrect facts on how the person died. And sometimes a person is still living.
I know about Henny, who was Jim Backus' real-life wife. Did you notice that it's Nehemiah Persoff, who was the longest reigning former Gilligan's Island cast members? He is 102 years old.
@rogerrendzak8055 It's best to pay attention to what the real deal is. I noticed that Ginger Grant has a habit of saying, "Oh, it's just like how they do it in the movies." The reason why she says that is, she hasn't been in the real world.
Vito Scotti was talented, very talented. Good on 'Gilligan's Island', and the 'Addams Family'!!! He was the train engineer, in one of Frank Sinatra's better films; 'Von Ryan's Express' (1965). But he wasn't known as; 'A Man Of A Thousand Faces', as that attribute remains with the one and only; 'Lon Chaney' (Sr.)!!! The 'Professor', is the only person, that kept the rest of the castaways, alive. No thanks, to Gilligan😒. Russell Johnson is one of my favorite, '50's sci-fi/horror film, actors. Like 'It Came From Outer Space' (1953), 'The Space Children' (1957). Who was that Gilligan's Island cast, in the ending scene, of this documentary???
Why do you have Skipper listed as Bernie Hamilton ? It's Alan Hale Jr! How can you mistake Alan Hale Jr for Bernie Hamilton? Both are great character actors and are both big guys but one is black and the other is white.
Twenty seven deaths? There were only seven castaways; the rest were guest stars. Vito Scotti also played the Japanese sailor who believes that WW2 is still going on, in the season one episode So Sorry, My Island Now.
Wow, makes me think of all the commercials on television that advertise medications. It’s like hearing about their side effects. Why do we need to know all this, anyway. There were only 7 castaways as I remember so why tell us about a bunch of people who were on one or a couple of episodes? As others have already pointed out, some of the information is incorrect. Why does everyone have to say “Their Tragic Ends?” Is that so you can draw more click baiters to watch your video? I became board less than three minutes in and gave up. I pretty much knew what the rest would be.
Sure is funny how Dubov and Feldman both crashed on the island, but there was no way that could have happened because you'd have to have a clearing at least a mile long to be able to safely take off and land, plus ➕ there was no investigation into whether a plane crashed or not, not to mention the fact that both men were not seen before or afterwards, although Conried DID make a second appearance later on in the first season episode The Return Of Wrongway Feldman.
i've got a lot of issues with petzing first of all is hie play calling like a run play with 40 seconds left first of all it burns the clock needlessly 2nd he never makes any adjustments for the 2nd half. and finally your right he didn't design enough plays for mhj. we need a new oc unless he learns how to call plays
To the poster of this video: Who are you to say that anyone's transition into spirit is "tragic"? Maybe it was the catharsis and relief that they had waited their entire life for. Your title is sensationalist garbage. Did you actually know these individuals and how they felt about the end of their lives?
CLICKBAIT Shame on you! They didn't all "tragically" die Though Dawn Wells died of Covid and had the then president handled it properly, maybe she'd still be with us along with lots of other people

He was in 3 separate episodes, as 3 different characters, on 'Gilligan's Island', also.

The letters she got were probably love letters

@@penguinvic9892Dawn was Maryann and the nitty gritty dirt band wrote a song about her. I was in live with her since I saw her. Some women are like that.
Alan Hale would dress up as the skipper and visit children’s hospitals including St Vincent’s where he later died. He was the Skipper until the end.
He also owned a restaurant back in the day
Dawn Wells was so pretty!
Dawn Wells was my first childhood celebrity crush i really had a thing for her i nearly cried when she died.
@@danielcorreard3746She was STILL good looking into her 70s.
I was a bit choked up when she died, too. I wanted her to live forever.
Dawn wells was very 🔥
Dawn was one of my favorite people in the whole world.
actually there we only 7 cast members all the others were guest stars.
There were 2 others in the pilot
I miss Mary Ann (Dawn Wells) the most . . . America's "Girl Next Door" and sweetheart!
She died from covid
she was the only one who had in her contract a percent of synidication fees, so later on she became wealthy when the reruns played, fyi.
Tina Louise is still alive
The skippers name is Allen Hale Jr.
I thought she is still alive
Tina Louise is still alive I liked Alan Hale and hang 'em high with Clint Eastwood that was a good movie too
I think she's the last surviving cast member...?.. Or she was the last I had heard. I also heard she was a horrible primadonna!

Click bait
Just to get more views.
I told myself I would stop viewing these AI narrated videos. But I do like Gilligan's Island so I will make this one exception.

That’s how it’s written in Latin numerals.

The music for this video is absolutely perfect to me and moved me deeply in a way I can’t explain. 😢😢😢

Wow- I have outlived the Skipper.
Tina Louise is the last original cast member still living and as far as I know, Kurt Russell is the last guest star still living.

thurston Howell the third, is how it is pronounced.
@@St63420 I wonder how the A.I. would have pronounced 3rd ?
I also like Alan Hale on the Andy Griffith show when he went into town looking for a wife.
Alan Hale and Dawn Wells were also on The Wild Wild West for one episode each!
I had a crush for mary ann.
Dubov was an artist, not a cosmonaut.
And Igor was Ivan's superior.
That's Thurston Howard the third. Not 3. Hello?
It’s also Howell not Howard
We went to"Skipper Alan Hale's Seafood Restaurant" in L.A.
Great show and cast

sadden by the young age of some of the performers when they pasted.

pause.
George N. ...................Neise agrees.
Hans Conreid also played on the old Danny Thomas show as Uncle Tanoose.
Jesus. From Dubov, to Igor to Barkley, how many more things can you get wrong?
I found it thorough and informative. My favorite was Maryann. She was always level-headed and sympathized with the other castaways.
I saw Bob Denver & Russell Johnson. Russell Johnson lives on
Bainbridge Island, Washington
Vittoria Scotti was the 1st person I thought you would show!

He was in many more, memorable movie's; 'Captains Of The Clouds' (1936), and 'Robin Hood' (1938).
10:30. Hans Conried was the narrator for the 1952 Tom and Jerry short Johann Mouse.
I think that he also voiced "Fractured Flickers ".
He also famously played the radio operator in "Passage To Marseille."
And many, many more, cartoon voices.
I love that cartoon! "A cat that could play? A mouse that could dance?"
He was also Captain Hook!
I should live long enough to list all of Hans Conrieds achievements.
