format_quote I saw Tina recently and she is so thin! I mean, I give her credit for staying in shape, but the women needs to eat some lunch! On her Gilligan's Island co-star Tina Louise in 2004.

stars  Wells and actor Russell Johnson are best known for their roles on the television series _Gilligan's Island (1964)_, but they are also well known for their infamous reference, "and the rest," in the show's original theme song. (Later, the song substituted that phrase for "the Professor and Mary Ann".)

stars  Ex-husband Larry Rosen was an agent.

stars  She and fellow Gilligan's Island cast member Tina Louise have both been asked to appear together in numerous television ad campaigns over the years. However, the two actresses have never liked each other and have not spoken in years. They have turned down many of these offers. The most notable one was a commercial for Old Navy clothing stores, which would feature them as Mary Ann and Ginger, still stuck on the island.

stars  Despite playing a supporting role to Tina Louise in Gilligan's Island, (and to Bob Denver and Jim Backus), her character Mary Ann was consistently the most popular among viewers, which also contributed to the tension with Louise.

stars  Colleen Haskell, from "Survivor" (2000) was often compared to Wells's character Mary Ann from _Gilligan's Island (1964)_.
