‘Gilligan’s Island’ star Dawn Wells dead at 82
Dawn Wells, who famously played Mary Ann Summers, has died. She was 82.
She died in Los Angeles of COVID-19-related causes Wednesday morning, according to her publicist.
The actress starred as the unapologetic "good girl" who was stranded on an island with six other castaways. "Gilligan’s Island" ran from 1964 to 1967 – for three seasons – and yet it has never gone off the air. It continues to be screened across the world in over 30 languages.
Wells, a Reno native, represented Nevada in the Miss America pageant in 1959 before taking on the iconic role. For the role of Mary Ann, she beat out 350 other actresses, including Raquel Welch.

The professor warned her about smoking weed with Gilligan.

A cutie! She starred in a little known western, after Gilligan's Island, named Winter Hawk. Not the best movie ever but interesting. She played a pioneer girl, and at the end of the movie she rode off into the sunset with the Indian warrior Winter Hawk. A little twist on a traditional western.
They used to play this movie once a month on Turner Classic, but haven't played it in years.

That's the Mary Ann I remember. That's not her. I assume it was meant as a joke. I think that's Raquel Welch.
