Who’s Hotter: Ginger or Mary Ann?

Throughout television history, several classic arguments have earned a spot on the couch next to passionate scholars of all ages. Who was more powerful: Jeannie or Samantha? Which show was better: Star Trek or Battlestar Galactica? More than any of these arguments, though, there is one that’s stayed in the forefront for almost fifty years. It’s a powerful question to which there is no real right answer … except for the one you find right here. Who is hotter: Ginger or Mary Ann? Read on to find out.

1. Let’s Start With the Basics

It’d be pretty difficult to name two more different women. Like a cinematic Betty and Veronica, sweet-natured Kansas girl Mary Ann Summers and the movie star, Ginger Grant, were at opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of tastes, look, and attitude. Where glamorous Ginger was accustomed to the finer things in life, Mary Ann was more naive and accepting. If you liked your women exotic and sultry, go Ginger, but if you liked your ladies earnest and true, Mary Ann was your lady.

2. Are You Into Tall Red Heads or Short Brunettes?

Everyone has their preference. There’s no right or wrong answer here. Let’s face it, both Ginger and Mary Ann were gorgeous so it really depends on which is more your type. And hey, if you prefered blondes, there was always Lovey Howell.

3. Do You Prefer Sparkly Gowns or Denim Shorts?

Again, it’s your call. High maintenance, heavily make-upped Ginger always looked put together in her slinky evening wear (where this extensive wardrobe came from on a three hour cruise is anybody’s guess). Mary Ann rocked the wholesome, sporty, girl-next-door look.
