TV favorite Dawn Wells has died at 82 from Covid related causes. This star of the classic show Gilligan's Island in the mid sixties and endless reruns had appeared in other shows and films, but her fame will always be as castaway, Mary Ann. I had the pleasure of meeting her twice in 2010 and 2017 (I think) at the Mid Atlantic Nostalgia Covention. She was every bit as nice as you could imagine and commented on how my name was the same as a cousin of hers. She even noted my Wild Wild West t-shirt, and said she appeared as a guest on that show. My picture with her has been a source of pride and sweet memories of a celeb who will always be remembered with fondness.
