R.I.P. Dawn Wells of Gilligan's Island
 

Dawn Wells died today after a struggle with COVID-19. She seemed to be in perfect health when she hosted The Summer of ME segment over the summer months on ME TV. She had several guest appearances on television throughout the decades, but is best done as the brunette farmgirl next door Mary Anne Summers of Gilligan's Island. Not a favorite of CBS during its original 3 season run it was axed to give a better slot to Gunsmoke. Gilligan's Island took off in syndication and never left the air. Wells had in her contract a residual fee for syndication which her costars did not thanks to her then husband's legal advice. Dawn was a sweet person who like some embraced the portrayal most tied to her and gave back. Wells was 82. Heaven just got unexpectedly sunnier.

Damn you, 2020. You just had to take one more before the year was up.

May she be able to rest peacefully.

Well that is sad to hear.

R.I.P. Dawn Wells.
