I just saw that, very sad news. She was a real sweetheart, and I grew up watching that show as a kid. RIP Dawn.

So sad. I followed her on facebook. Just six days ago, she was all bubbles and going on about how she was being safe and making Christmas videos for family and really paying attention to the protocols.
But it got her anyway.

I saw her posts on Facebook all the time too, could be someone else managing her account, but had no idea anything was wrong.

By all accounts, she was a very nice person to everybody, not just the parts she played. Another entertainment icon gone in 2020.

RIP Mary Ann !

The REAL babe on Gilligan's Island.....

My wife's cousin met her and he said she was great, very friendly and approachable not a snob by any means. A real lady.

I also followed her on FB. If her posts were generated by someone else, it had to be a long time close friend, because the posts were as sweet as her.

Sad news. She was a very sweet gal. Met her up in Driggs, Idaho when i lived up there and she was always friendly and loved the community. She will be missed.

I grew up watching that aswell. I remember when Gilligan's island turned color.

She was a beautiful woman. Even into her older years.

Rip.

That is a shock.
She didn't look all that old.
I too grew up watching the show.
Can't count the time the question was asked...........
"Ginger or Mary Ann????"

[marlin39a]

Yup, always answered MaryAnn. The girl you could be seen with around your friends, and bring home to mom. I’m getting old.

[jonp]

Always answered Mary Ann too. Went to college with a guy who's dad went out with her. He said she was about what you would expect from watching the show. Very nice, positive and smiled a lot.

Be careful with all this "Died of Covid related causes" stuff.

[trapper9260]

I was shock myself when I read that she died and she was the best part of the show. She add something to the show that Ginger did not. RIP Dawn .

I watched the show. It was one of those shows that made me ask myself occasionally what my major malfunction was to be wasting my time on nonsense, and then I'd see Mary Ann smile.......

Everybody needs an escape sometimes and with all that was going on in the world at the time, an awful lot of people needed one then. It's amazing to me that a three season 98 episode run could have such an impact on pop culture,

I really think the best part of the show was the intro. Everyone I know from my generation still knows the theme song by heart.

Funny how they could make popular TV shows without violence ,hate,deviant behaviour,or social engineering .

When I was growing up, after the show was canceled, it was a favorite sing along at Boy Scout camps and on school busses for field trips, I wouldn't be too surprised if it still is.

My youngest son is 25 and a college student and thinks like a lot of his generation does, we don't see eye to eye on a lot of things, but he's of good character and we just avoid certain subjects. He is pretty cynical, sometimes a bit too cynical for someone so young, but when he's here with us, that kid will stop whatever he's doing to watch an episode of Gomer Pyle or Gilligan's Island if we have it on. We watch more TV than we should, and 99% of it is MeTV or other channels that show old sitcoms and such. Maybe the people who produced them realized the need for brain decompression and Dawn Wells was perfect for shows like that.
