I'm getting used to my boyhood crushes passing away. It all started with Elizabeth Montgomery. At least Barbara Eden is hanging in there.

wow - what a way to end the day with sad news

RIP Mary Ann

She died in her eighties for fucks sake. You have to bring this bullshit in to every thread. Shame on you Steve.

May she rest in peace. That was a great show.

I was always on the "Mary Ann" side as opposed to the "Ginger" camp.

She spent a bit of time here in Eastern Idaho (Driggs area). Pretty popular during her time here which was around 2008 as I recall. Her GI stint was relatively short (I think like only three years) but it made her incredibly famous. Love the Ginger V Mary Ann debates, that quickly went to inappropriate usually. Too bad to see her gone.

She was 82. She was old.

In this day and age, I doubt when someone, anyone claims that so and so “died” from COVID.

When you have monetized death certificates like we have done with the not-the-flu-flu, I am skeptical at best at all the claims.

None the less, it was always Mary Ann and never Ginger.

As pointed out she was 82. She recently went through some serious surgery about two years ago and has been suffering from dementia for over a year and living in a assisted living center. She was also bankrupt for some time.

FAR from a picture of health.

I agree.
MY FIL passed the end of July with (what was) COVID related issues.

He had a multitude of health issues as well as 4 years into dementia.

His passing was a blessing mainly for him, but for the entire family.

Hopefully this was the case for Dawn.
She was the hottest of the female leads on that show..

RIP Mary Ann. We all loved you on your three hour tour. Life so so much simpler back then.

Which reminds me,
Has anyone seen Betty White lately?

I'll be 84 in a week and a half.

Sometimes I feel old. Sometimes I don't.

I watched the reruns of Gilligan's Island and always looked forward to seeing Mary Ann.

Rest easy sweet soul...

RIP

RIP Dawn. I'll miss you.

Good bye Mary Ann.

I was in the Mary Ann camp as well. RIP

As a kid I recall seeing her as a player at the house theatre in Knotts Berry Farm

RIP Dawn. You will be missed by many.

Rest In Peace, Ms. Wells. Mary Ann was always my favorite, too.

She used to visit our restaurant at lunch when she was in the Green Hills area shopping.

My wife worked in a couple restaurants in that area in high school and college and met a number of country stars but never Ms. Wells. Before we met, I dated a girl whose grandmother lived a couple door’s down from Ms. Wells. The grandmother and Ms. Wells had become friends so I was hoping I might have a chance to meet her someday, but fortunately for me, the relationship went south and I never got the chance.
