Who’s Hotter: Ginger or Mary Ann?

4. For What It’s Worth, Gilligan Leaned Towards Mary Ann

By and large, Mary Ann typically takes the lead when it comes to popularity polls that pit the two women against each other. One poll from USA Today actually gave the advantage to Mary Ann 85 percent to 15. Even the show’s star, Bob Denver, was openly admitted that he was more of a Mary Ann fan.

5. Tina Louise Had Pipes

For those men looking for someone who’s musically inclined, there’s always Tina Louise, who not only had a career on Broadway, she also put out an album, It’s Time For Tina, which was released in 1957. We’ll let you decide if only releasing one album is a testament to her talent or a personal decision.

6. Mary Ann Can Cook

In 1993, Dawn Wells actually released a cookbook called Mary Ann’s Gilligan’s Island Cookbook, which was well-received by fans and critics. Recipes included dishes such as ‘Skipper’s Coconut Pie,’ ‘Skipper’s Navy Bean Soup,’ and ‘Skipper’s Goodbye Ribeye.’ (Can you tell she was good buddies with the Skipper?)
