Miss Nevada
Have you caught wind of the fact that Dawn Wells had actually been crowned the 1959 Miss Nevada? Winning the crown assisted the aspiring actress in securing a scholarship at the University of Washington. There she took up theater. When she graduated, she moved to L.A. to pursue a career in acting. Although her desire to act was unlike that for anything else, she didn’t want to become just another one of the pretty faces in Hollywood. Therefore, aside from being conventionally beautiful, Wells worked very hard and stayed focused so that she could reach her aim for fame.

People not just around the country but also the world debated who they adored more, Ginger or Mary Ann. Behind the camera, the two stars became very close friends. At first, Wells got intimidated by her co-actor because Tina Louise was one of the biggest film stars in Hollywood. When Dawn Wells was just starting on Gilligan’s Island, she was not quite well known. When Wells got over her fear, the two got very close. As a matter of fact, Dawn Wells and Louise’s daughter are now friends on social media. Lasting friendships sure make us feel warm inside!
