Dawn Wells (the lovely Mary Anne from Gilligan's Island) has died of Covid. She was 82.

Terrible. She was a national treasure to some. Horrible. :'( :'(

Of all the chaos 2020 has inflicted on us, this one seems the worst some how. I will always picture a young, happy Mary Anne negotiating life as a castaway on that island some where in the South Pacific. Dawn Wells represented the youth of my generation and hearing that she died of COVID  was like a coffin nail in my own mortality.
RIP Ms Wells, I will miss you.

I watched the show every day, one of the most perfectly cast in all of television. I considered Ms Wells the last survivor
since Tina Louise has chosen to distance herself so far from her role. I met Judith Baldwin once, who later played Ginger 
in the reunion movies. Bon voyage, Dawn Wells. I hope your next island destination is paradise.

I suspect that Tina Louise didn't want to be typecast as the spoiled movie star she played on the island.
