In a vaguely-related story, Dawn Wells was in Hollywood about 4 days ago to watch her old employer, Sherwood Schwartz, receive his very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2008/03/07/entertainment/e172114S88.DTL&hw=sherwood&sn=001&sc=1000 Pics from the event... http://www.wireimage.com/GalleryListing.asp?navtyp=gls====307977&nbc1=1

As Beavis once sang "the professor ann maryanne" Good for her. The gal looks good for her age. Guess that weed takes off the harsh of getting old.

BeejW - Oh my god. It's like Ginger's hair sewed onto a crash test dummy made out of rich Corinthian leather. I think I'll be completely devastated for the rest of the day...

The Angry Young Man is not only young and angry- he is correct as well. And even though no one's asked: Skipper Jonas Grumby Professor Roy Hinkley And you all know the Howells & Ms Grant. Lovey Howell's maiden name was 'Winston'. But, now I'm just showing off. As to Angry Young Man's question: ...wonder what Ginger "Cougar" Grant must be looking like these days... Here's a pic from 2006: http://us.imdb.com/media/rm858561280/nm0001481

Mary Ann's last name was Summers. If Mary Ann is like 70 years old now, wonder what Ginger "Cougar" Grant must be looking like these days...

Mary Ann was always my favorite castaway. I now know why. Free Mary Ann! (Or just mail her some brownies... she only had to serve 5 days.)

Thought Ann WAS her last name That's a good answer jimH, but incorrect. Her character does indeed have a last name. I think they used it, like, twice in the entire series. They all had last names- except Gilligan. There are those that claim his name was John Gilligan. But, I'm pretty sure it was just 'Gilligan'. I know waaaay to much about this show. I watched the reruns religiously as a kid.

Free Mary Ann! Free Mary Ann! This reminds me of an incident involving her fellow castaway and 420 enthusiast, the late Bob Denver. Cut & pasted from http://www.nndb.com/people/827/000023758/ In 1998, Denver was arrested when he signed for a FedEx delivery of 30 grams of marijuana. Police spent more than two hours making a mess of his house, and reportedly confiscated two marijuana pipes and several more grams of pot. Reports at the time suggested that Denver's Gilligan co-star Dawn Wells had arranged the shipment, that his checkbook included several suspicious payments to Wells, and that prosecutors were pressuring him to name Wells as his supplier. Instead, Denver testified that "some crazy fan must have sent it." His punishment was six months probation. G-Island trivia question: What was Mary Ann's last name?
