DAWN WELLS

American fan-favorite Dawn Wells quickly rose to prominence after stealing the show with her performance in Gilligan’s Island. She also featured in other shows such as Maverick and Bonanza. Her acting jobs usually involved touring around U.S. theatres from the ‘70s to the ‘80s. She appeared in a couple of guestings in TV shows, such as Cheyenne in the episode entitled Lone Patrol as Sarah Claypool. Her Gilligan’s journey didn’t end yet after reprising her role as Mary Ann Summers in the reunion trilogy.

She appeared in Rescue from Gilligan’s Island, The Castaways on Gilligan’s Island, and The Harlem Globetrotters on Gilligan’s Island. She also joined its cartoon spinoff, Gilligan’s Planet. After attaining a massive fortune of $7 million, she decided to expand her charity work and keep fit. In fact, she doesn’t seem to have any form of mortgage or bankruptcy issue to worry about as she looks stress-free. Wells even represented as Miss Nevada during the 1960 Miss America held in Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey, where fellow beauty queen Lynda Lee Mead was crowned that time.
