Original Mary Ann
Now, we all cannot stop raving about Dawn Wells as Mary Ann. However, she was not the initial pick for the celebrated role. Actually, if you remember the 1960’s sensation, Raquel Welch…yeah, that’s who they wanted for Mary Ann. Apparently, Raquel Welch thinks she saved her future career by not accepting the role on Gilligan’s Island. Turns out, most of the cast really were not able to land big parts once they became associated with their famous characters.
