    Has the internet been scoured for a pic of her not wearing a mask?

    She did not die from the Covid virus. That is a liberal lie. She died due to being exposed to a tropical parasite that she got when the Minnow was washed up on the tropical island. I know this is true because a guy on YouTube said so at a Covid Conspiracy hearing conducted by the Alabama State Senate and Judge Moore said that his 14 near old girl friend said it was true

    Only a mask back in the 1960's ? She was too holesome for that I believe.

    The weather started getting rough,
    The tiny ship was tossed,
    If not for the courage of the fearless crew
    The Minnow would be lost, the Minnow would be lost.

    The ship set ground on the shore of this uncharted desert isle
    With Gilligan
    The Skipper too,
    A millionaire and his wife,
    A movie star
    The Professor and Mary Ann,*
    Here on Gilligan's Isle.

    BTW the first season theme song did not have the line "The Professor and Mary Ann" the line was "And all the rest". Well all the rest was only TWO more!! What a dis!! They became important to the story so they changed the line.

    The Much-Heralded Reversal of one of the Most Egregious Injustices in TV History:

    When (at the start of season 2) the lyrics of the opening theme were changed from "and the rest" to "The Professor and Mary Ann".

    An Unspeakable Injustice was Reversed.

    RIP Dawn "Mary Ann" Wells.:salute:

    Good call.

    Crashed the Internet worse than the Prince William and Kate Wedding.

    RIP Mary Ann.

    Thanks for the info. Someone else also suggested I find the theme song. I posted a video back in post #19. I think it may have contained an additional verse.

    Russel Johnson had his own interesting story. The professor was a bomber pilot in WW2. He crash landed his plane and saved his crew. He got a purple heart for breaking his ankles in the crash.

    RIP Ms Wells.

    Mary Ann made more money than any of the other cast members. She gave up some of her salary and opted for revenues from reruns. In the long run, it paid out well for her.

    Actually Johnson was the bombardier of the plane that had to ditch because it was hit by enemy fire, the co-pilot was killed. Johnson went on to serve in the newly formed United States Air Force reserve. Purple Hearts are awarded to those injured for 5 different but similar criteria a: "any action against an enemy of the United States or another e: as a result of any act by a hostile foreign force.

    A personal comment, yes he was a hero, even though his plane was shot down. Thank God he did not go into politics.

    She sure filled out a pair of short shorts! The quintessential "girl next door".
