Like her costar Wells, actress Tina Louise wrote her very own memoir and it’s called Sunday. Actually, it’s more like a collection of memoirs. Louise wrote this in order to help teenagers and young girls. She hoped to be a comforting and helpful voice for those having kids at a young age or not in school. In her book, she speaks about her personal experience from age 6 to 8 when she was sent away to boarding school.

Well, everyone but actress Dawn Wells! Luckily, she had reruns written in her contracts, so she did well!
