- "You'd marry Mary Ann, you'd date Ginger. You'd have to buy her a martini and take her out to dinner. Mary Ann would raise your children and help you on the farm." Dawn Wells, who played Mary Ann on 'Gilligan's Island,' reflects on the age-old question: Ginger or Mary Ann?
I still find it hard to believe you've passed away . I will always love you Dawn Wells .
I can't believe that Tina Louise is the only surviving cast member.
A beautiful woman from her heart to her eyes. I love Dawn Wells.
"I know I wasn't going commando, or whatever it is!" That was the cutest thing! I'd still marry this woman, if she'd have me. I spent many afternoons after school watching this show and I always wondered if Gilligan secretly sabotaged every solution to leave the island because he was in love with Mary Ann.
Beauty is not everything by any means... but young or old, she is BEAUTUFUL! In heart & spirit as well as looks :)
Boy she was a sweetheart. RIP Dawn.
She's still looks very beautiful at the age she is now.
Can't argue with you on that Wayne 👍👍
Until she passed... RIP
Still beautiful after all these years!!!
I'm here after learning of Dawn Wells' passing. RIP Dawn. We'll miss you and you'll always be Marry Ann to me!
I bought the entire season's episodes on DVD and I watch them to escape reality. They still make me laugh just as they did when I watched the series on television as a teenager during the 1970s. It is the first time I have seen it in colour too.
I just watched the entire run of episodes on DVD, too (over a period of three months, I might add!).
They're witty, intelligent, sharply written, brilliantly directed and acted, and often surprisingly deep.
I have it too! I think GI and Columbo .. are the only series on disc I ever binged watched.
You can't help but love this lady! So fun, positive, and aware of the impact this show has had on pop culture.
She stole my 10 year old heart back then.
Bless her...
Down to earth and gorgeous! What a combination!
"It was silly. Trite, perhaps. Nothing to think about."
Sometimes, those are the best shows, because that is what you need.
"But it made you HAPPY." That is what people want after real life troubles, to be entertained not preached to or reminded of their own troubles.
My favorite character was on Gilligan's Island was Mary Ann Summers played by the late Dawn Wells of course and I miss her dearly
what a wonderfully smart and gorgeous lady
P.S. I Plan to Hug Mary Ann WeLLs in the Kingdom!
I want a CLONE of Mary Ann in the Kingdom, even the OLD Mary Ann!!!
No doubt! She's why I watched the show. And when The Skipper took off his hat to slap Gilligan.
As it turned out "and the rest" became and still are two of the most loved characters from the show. "The Professor and Mary Ann". But yeah we love them all, a big source of light-hearted joy for all of us kids growing up in the 60s.
Man, i fell in love with her as a young boy and she's still cute after all these decades!
Always loved this lady.
She's a hottie. I had a big time childhood crush on her when I a kid Rest In Peace to her 👌💯
This show made me smile and laugh and even better dream
Of ALL the Characters on this show, the one that amazed me the most was the Professor. That guy could fix almost anything.. anything except for a hole in a boat :D
That right he try to fixed it with the glue it all fall apart that was funny.today Gilligan still my favorite show I got it on DVD.I was in love with Mary Ann.Dawn wells she was so beautiful.She still beautiful.
If I were on an island with Mary Ann, I probably wouldn't be able to fix the hole in the boat either.
Or having sex with two freakin hotties.
@@stevewright4092 Bob Denver passed away in 2005. 😟😟😟
Plus whatever batteries are in that radio, they should be advertising the crap out of it!
Dawn Wells is so beautiful in every way!
RIP beautiful woman
I have heard that Dawn Wells DID and does receive residuals.
As the story goes, she was one of the last ones hired when the show was going in to production. Her husband at the time was an agent. As a gimme, he asked for residuals to be included in the contract-- and no one ever thought that it would amount to anything.
So she received residuals all those years-- and kept it secret because she knew it would cause issues with the other cast members if they knew.
Eternally beautiful- Dawn Wells and Raquel Welch
She is great and a delight to listen to. I am big fan of Gilligan's Island.
Gorgeous beyond description. Loved her.
She still so gorgeous
Rip dawn wells we miss you so much. May you be happy on the paradise island. Called Gillian island. Together with the rest of the cast that passes already. Except the movie. Star. Who probley misses all the cast
She's still a darling !
Dawn Wells was one of the MOST beautiful women in television history.
She’s adorable
R.I.P. DAWN
ALWAYS LOVE YOU
Very few women can pull off sexy and still be SO classy, Dawn Wells can!
So sweet and funny and fun!
Dawn Wells is going to be 80 years old October 18, 2018- unbelievable! (Tina Louise turned 86 February 11, 2018- also unbelievable!)
Tina Louise doesn't turn 86 till Feb.11, 2020
Love Dawn Wells!
Sweet and lovely as ever
To me there is no question : Mary Ann all the way!
There never has been one if you ask us! 🤣🤣 Maryann had me at hello!
Beautiful at any age
RIP Sweet pretty lady. 😪
I wouldn't mind sharing a coconut cream pie with Mary Ann. ...or a cup of coffee with Ms. Dawn Wells!
Absolute love this woman!!!!
*I want a Clone of Mary Ann weLLs, in the Kingdom*
*I'LL take the 77-year Mary Ann CLONE!!!*
OMG! THOSE EYES JUST MELTED MY HEART!
Dawn Wells on Gilligan's Island was a major childhood crush of mine. I think her off camera personality is even more attractive than Mary Ann.
Marry ann still to this day
R I P.dawn wells we stull love u always
She turns 80 next month. Still looks great. We love you Dawn...
What you say that if she was standing in front of you
@@1990758 do you mean would I say that if she was standing in front of me? Yes I would and I would still go out with her
Sarasdad91 Tim Wow, an 80 year old babe!
What a sweetheart!
Always loved Dawn Wells. Have to say she's aged pretty well. Still quite lovely and charming. As far as the Ginger vs. Mary Ann question, it's no contest. Mary Ann all the way. Sweet, cute figure, and she would make you a coconut cream pie. What more could you ask for? Ginger was too high maintenance.
My Belief is THIS--->
Mary Ann Voters also Voted for HeLLary!!!
---------------------
Ginger/Tina Voters --> Voted for Donald Trump!!!!
I Agree with your Assessment!!!!
I Love Mary Ann WeLLs & I Voted for HeLLary!
"Cream pie" giggity
@@comparativeadvantage6470 You mean Bone spur Trump too much of a coward to serve in the military. Before you ask I served over 6 years in the Army.
Mary Ann all the way! I love Trump! There goes your theory.
Still gorgeous...
RIP Dawn Wells 😥. Ginger is the last surviving cast member
They will all live forever in our hearts 💕.
Mary Ann all the way, Ginger was nice to look at, but Mary Ann was the cutest by far. I always like Mary Ann best.
Ginger was very nice to look at. I like Ginger
While I've always had a crus h on Get Smart's Barbara Fel don, I'd have to admit if I did n't, I'd choose Mary Ann. Bet ween her & Ginger I always f elt Mary Ann was sweet & a- s cute as a button. I don't kn ow how it got past the cens- or or the film crew, but in the one clip of Mary Ann & Ging- er exercising, you can see M ary Ann's belly button. Oops.
Yep. Mary Ann was cute and sexy.
I always loved her and always will. She was and is always beautiful inside and out. She is as sweet as a vanilla shake with caramel sauce. 💘🌷🍻😘
Dawn Wells...my first crush
As beautiful today as always...
I loved Decades TV but it's not available where I live anymore
Wow. Still beautiful.
when i would come home from high school i would watch this show even if i was older i loved gilligans island it was funny and really showed how people that had different ways of doing things and thinking got along and really loved each other and i am sure that they are all in heavan still having fun doing what they love thank you alane jim natalie dawn , russell and bob and tina for all the great fun you gave me and everyone you will all live on in our hearts and minds
Great lady.
I saw a photo of Mary Ann at 80 years of age on the "Then and Now" video. I am 56 years old and I would still chase her like she was the last lady on the planet. She is just incredible. Who would think you would say an 80 year old that she is HOT but she is!!!
Dawn looks like she's only aged a couple of years in what's actually 55 years! Talk about amazing! I'm speechless!
Perfect casting in that show. Absolutely perfect.
I would have watched a half hour show of Dawn Wells just walking around in those shorts.
At 3.06 Dawn hit the nail on the head "it made you happy" it was a fun happy trivial laugh out loud show and i loved it i was 10 when it finished and we got reruns for a long time here in OZ and i still watched it for years later tv was fun and entertaining as there were so many great shows we got from overseas at that time.
I don't know if this was coincidence. But her character is from Kansas. Dorothy was from Kansas. A storm took Mary Ann away from Kansas. A tornado took Dorothy away from Kansas I wonder if it was an idea the producers had in mind . Maybe I have to much time on my hands
Loved the show...used to get home after school and watch gilligans island...the Munsters..all those great shows back then
I grew up watching Gilligan as first run ...before reruns. Love it and Mary Ann of course
She was wicked cute
yep, Ginger for the weekend, Mary Ann for life
Still sweet as ever. 🙂
Mary Ann was my favorite on gilligans island nice lady
Agreed. I think the show's continuing popularity is because of men of all ages tuning in to see Dawn Wells, the most beautiful woman to ever live. Personally, she's the only reason I ever watch the show and I'm a female!
Love Dawn Wells
Dawn Wells super crush thanks.
She was always my favorite. Polls always have her ahead of Ginger and rightfully so. She was beautiful and still is.
Dawn Wells - Was & Is ...
HOTTTTTTTT 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Still a beautiful person inside and out.
My God, has she aged well!!
As for the eternal question....Mary Ann.
Mary Ann was my sweetheart, too
She was my favorite for obvious reasons and she seemed authentic
She is my time machine, I hope your well & happy D you deserve it. enjoy girl
"The show became a 'modest hit' " WHAT? The show was wildly successful with viewers, and even to this day. It was the critics and execs who couldn't stand it.
And from that 'fateful' day forward.. the show has never gone off the air. Not bad for a 'modest hit'.
(PS - Mary Ann all the way)
It didn't really get big until syndication.
MaryAnn was incredibly beautiful...
Mary Ann going "commando." Now I've got that in my mind for the rest of my life.
she has such a sweet personality and disposition.....and that's what is most important
Happy 80th Birthday Dawn Wells
Not possible
Mary Ann ! 😍 ♥️
Gilligan's Island is on every Sunday afternoon for 3 hours. It's on Me TV, I'm going home to watch it now. Sunday May 3, 2020.
As of today the only person living from the Gilligans Island cast is Tina Louise.
She is such a sweet person to have been through all that she has been through.
RIP Ms Wells 😞🌹😢
Sill gorgeous what class.
She was really good in all the tv acting she did. Many of those programs are in reruns today. Gilligan was at the top of the ratings when it was in its final year. It should have stayed on. It was childish but harmless and funny.
Happy Birthday to Dawn Elberta Wells.10-18-38.Reno.Mary Ann is someone you take home to Mom and Dad to meet.I hope she's alright now after the tv report.
Love her lots and lots!😁😍😍😎😎
I would rather date and marry Mary Ann. dawn is still cute as a button.
Love The Series Really Nice to see
The answer to the question is...Mary Ann!
I was always a 'Mary Ann' kinda guy myself. RIP Dawn Wells.
RIP, our dear Dawn. I always thought you would outlast all of them but, sadly, no. Tina Louise does. Covid got you because of the public appearances you gave so we would smile in hard times.
Class actress
'Maryann' you STILL do it for me.
