Covid Claims Castaway Mary Ann

Dawn Wells, who turned castaway Mary Ann into one of TV's most beloved comedy characters, has died of complications of COVID-19, according to various sources. 

Wells, a University Of Washington graduate and one time Miss Nevada, played cheerful Mary Ann on Gilligan's Island, the midwestern girl who liked to bake pies. 

One of the most popular baby boomer question was Ginger or Mary Ann? referring to who was the "hottest".

Ginger was the beautiful movie star, who would use her looks to try to get her way, Mary Ann was pretty and homespun, basically the most down to earth character on the show.

Coincidentally, Wells and Tina Louise, who played Ginger, were the last surviving actors from the show.

Now Louise is the only one of the cast who remains. 

Wells was 82.
