Favorite Episode
Out of all the Gilligan’s Island episodes she was credited for, Louise chose “All About Eva” as the one she really liked to film. In the episode, there is a woman who is washed up on the island. Her name is Eva and at first, she looks like a mess. However, Ginger decides to give the red head Eva a much needed, complete makeover. Eva then gets the chance to escape the island. In the end, she goes to Hollywood and assumes Ginger’s identity! Needless to say, Tina Louise played Ginger and Eva and she had a blast filming this episode!
Not A Dime
As what we have hinted at previously, most stars of Gilligan’s Island didn’t quite strike gold doing the show. And Bob Denver is no exception! Anyway, most of the cast had only had residual rights up until 1968. The actual reason is that many of the members of the cast never really thought Gilligan’s Island had a strong chance of becoming successful. Most of them looked at the show as an interesting, resume filler. Well, everyone except actress Dawn Wells! Fortunately, she had specified reruns in the contracts she signed, so Wells did well!
