On-Set Diva
Speaking of crew opinions and gossip, Tina Louise also made an impression on her coworkers. However, we will get into that a bit later. While shooting the show, Louise had the crew and cast make certain exceptions for her. Apparently, she felt misled about her character’s role and felt a bit entitled. Louise’s agent told her that the show revolved around this movie star getting stranded on an island. So, Tina Louise had no clue that she wasn’t the star of the show when she signed on.
Representing America
Ready for some inside perspective on the symbolism behind the show? Well, every character, except silly Gilligan, was created to represent a part of American society. Now, it all makes sense why they called the characters by jobs and not just their names. Every person stood for a certain segment of society!
