Dawn Wells who played the lovable Mary Ann on Gilligan’s Island has died at the age of 82.

Her publicist announced she died of COVID-19 complications in Los Angeles on Wednesday morning (12/30/2020).

The only surviving member of the iconic show is now Tina Louise (86) who played Ginger. The long-debated question “Ginger or Mary Ann?” will forever live on and my answer will always be Mary Ann.
