Representing America
Now here is a bit of inside information to give another layer to Gilligan’s Island. Everyone, except our goofy Gilligan, was representative of a segment of American society. Hey, now it makes more sense that they called the men by their jobs and not always their names. Anyone, each person was meant to stand for whoever in that specific part of American society.
Dawn Wells’ Memoir
Yes, the world all knows Dawn Wells as Mary Ann of Gilligan’s Island. Therefore, Dawn chose to name her memoirs, What Would Mary Ann Do? Inside, she details personal stories from the Gilligan’s Island set and also includes some self help parts. Wells wrote the memoir from her former character’s point of view. Naturally, fans get different types of life advice from a Kansas, star-eyed woman on the troubles with modern society. An interesting take for sure!
