Tina Louise
Of course, we had to include Tina Louise since we have Dawn Wells on this list. Anyway, her costar Tina Louise was already a Hollywood star before playing Ginger on Gilligan’s Island. However, after the show, she had trouble landing new roles due to typecasting. Louise did take her talents to Broadway though. Also she volunteers as an elementary school teacher in her current home state of New York.
Jamie Lee Curtis
Clearly, we don’t need to remind you who Jamie Lee Curtis is! Everyone knew her name after her 1978 role in Halloween. Yes, she was one of the original scream queens. However, she proved her comedic talents in Trading Places. Since 1984, this star has been married to director/writer Christopher Guest. Did you know she’s Jake Gyllenhaal’s godmother?
