Custom Outfit
Well, now we’re on the subject of clothing again, it’s time to discuss Mary Ann’s outfits. In actual fact, actress Dawn Wells made more contributions to the wardrobe of her character than many fans knew. Wells knew there would be endless comparisons between her and costar, Ginger (Tina Louise). Thus, as way to compensate for her short stature, she preferred outfits that would showcase her legs a lot. Thus, she thought up short shorts during the time when television was not even permitted to show belly buttons. Wells added some extra fabric so she could hide her navel, but it still seemed the outfits were flashy for the audience. You mustn’t forget, this time is the first ever that a character has worn short shorts!

Aging Cast
Of course, from the time Gilligan’s Island started airing during the 60’s until now, many of the cast members have since passed. In actual fact, Sherwood Shwartz, the famous creator, has also died. He passed way in 2011. Out of the main cast of Gilligan’s Island, only Dawn Wells and Tina Louise are left. Here’s to hoping that these lovely women stay around much longer, if not forever!
