Dawn Wells Dies Of Covid-19: Mary Ann On ‘Gilligan’s Island’ Was 82
Dawn Wells, best known for playing the girl-next-door castaway Mary Ann on the iconic CBS comedy series Gilligan’s Island, died Wednesday morning in Los Angeles of complications due to Covid-19. She was 82.
Wells, who was Miss Nevada in the 1959 Miss America pageant, beat out 350 actresses for the role of Mary Ann Summers. She also appeared in more 150 series and several movies during her career as well as on Broadway.
Mary Ann or Ginger?... that question is still asked today of Gilligan's Island fans.
For me, it was always Mary Ann. 
Tina Louise (Ginger) is now the last surviving cast member.
Fond memories of watching the antics... even these days.
R.I.P. Dawn.

Ah! Gilligan's Island, an enjoyable sit com, from the days when life was much simpler, wouldn't miss an episode.
RIP Dawn Wells.
