I TOTALY LOVE GINGER FOR EVER XXOOXXXOOX

[@vincevant5478]

According to bob denver "and the rest" was only for 1 season and it was changed at his demand

[@michaelrochester48]

Tina Louise had a clause in her contract, that no one would be billed below her. In fact she assumed she was going to be the star of the show even though the name of the show was Gilligans island

[@kvernon1]

In the pilot episode, there were two characters that were found not to resonate with the audience. They were dropped from the show & replaced by The Professor & Mary Ann. I believe the replacements were still being negotiated when The Wellingtons recorded the Gilligan's Island theme song, and the line "and the rest" was used as a placeholder for the future cast members.

[@ManuelGuzman067]

Shes down to earth Miss Ginger. Remember her Chunky vintage 🍫 candy commercial 😀

[@bradleylaford1526]

Yes Tina... Almost a Munro Spoof! I wanna Be Loved by You... I've just bought a Three DVD GI Series Box-Set. Great Work... Under-Rated Actress! Your Range is Demonstrated in other TV Roles

[@OldJong]

She hated that show! She said that it ruined her carreer! Everybody loved her and still love her because of that show and she still can't understand it! That show was a life gift to her but she always refused to appreciate it.

[@robin212212]

She was typecasted and had trouble getting roles, and the show did not pay any residuals.

[@danc3693]

Get over it. So she aspired to more than Gilligan’s Island - not a crime for any actress. I was born in1959 so I enjoyed it more in reruns from late elementary school up to high school. I enjoyed it but at the same time I knew it was a rather dumb sitcom - certainly not cutting edge. My mom was a fantastic pie maker, the best cherry pie with flaky home made crust. Nonetheless, I also enjoyed Hostess cherry pies for 12 cents. Did they match my mom’s? No way! I enjoyed the FOR WHAT THEY WERE. The same applies to Gilligan’s Island, IMHO. So if Tina Louise aspired it something more, I do not blame her.

[@billhosko7723]

@@robin212212 It was an excuse. Her acting on say Dallas, was OK... nothing more... Plenty of actors went on to other roles and fame after an initial hit.

[@unknownstranger6875]

Well would you like it if you were frequently compared to somebody else and made to feel inferior to that other person? The whole Ginger vs Mary Ann thing is toxic as not only are they making you choose who is “better” but they started claiming Dawn was “better” than Tina. So can you blame her? I think that would make anyone depress and upset.

[@snarkyenigma9219]

That was very early on (and greatly over-exaggerated). For the last several decades Tina Louis has embraced and become very grateful for Gilligan's Island.

[@alexwallace6120]

I loved Tina Louise who played Ginger Grant on GI. She was sexy ,smart ,and funny! I loved her singing"I want to be loved by you"

[@lloydkline6946]

She was very gorgeous on Gillian Island

[@counciousstream]

Regardless of what Tina may or may not have said about being type-cast after Gilligan's Island, the fact is this is what she is famous for. Few actors have the recognition that she has had for decades. Tina was an accomplished actor but not a great actor. Her role as Ginger made her an icon. Very few great actors can make that claim.

[@unknownstranger6875]

It made her an icon, but it also made people compare her constantly to Mary Ann. They constantly put her down and saw her as inferior to Mary Ann/Dawn so I can’t blame her for feeling the way she does.

[@unknownstranger6875]

I don’t get why the haters have to come here just to say that Mary Ann is “better”. You like Mary Ann? Good for you, now go watch some videos on Dawn Wells. You are only proving Tina’s point as to why she didn’t want to reunite with the rest of the cast. It must be exhausting to be told for decades that some other woman is better than you in every way. Can’t blame her for regretting taking on the role of Ginger. You people never even knew Tina so why bad mouth her? She has valid reasons for regretting taking on the Ginger role. And no Dawn was not better than her, nor was she better than Dawn. They were both great actresses.

[@rockkarmaband]

She didn’t tell the truth why the credits stated “and the rest”. Well she glossed over it.

[@tlw1950]

What was the truth?

[@snarkyenigma9219]

@@tlw1950 It was nothing sinister or meant to be any kind of oversight on their parts. Russell Johnson and Dawn Wells were total unknowns and simply didn't have the names (or relevancy) in the entertainment industry to get star billing. In fact, at the time they didn't even know if the present cast would remain or if the show would even succeed. It was Bob Denver who eventually demanded that the "Professor and MaryAnne" be added to the song.

[@tj205bama]

I bet she hated hearing that Gilligan's island theme when she went out

[@larciabella]

yeah but it made her a Celebrity Star!

[@justinbrockshus8483]

I had the same thought.

[@hijodelaisla275]

RO introduced her as getting her start on that show, when in fact she was known earlier from "God's Little Acre."

[@waynejohanson1083]

Sadly the movie has yet to be made.

[@lanabyk8012]

Why does she not feel comfortable with having been on Gilligan's Island? It was a hit and she was great on that show! Gilligans Island will be a hit on Mars as well.

[@russellnotestine6436]

Dawn Wells' death brought me here. RIP Dawn Wells aka Mary Ann Summers

[@michaelrochester48]

Tina Louise is not being honest. The reason why the first season had the theme song that went “and the rest” it was because of a clause in her contract and no one could follow her in the credits

[@northerly86]

maybe she just wasn't expecting that question and just came out with any old answer. As we know The professor and mary anne was brought in after season 1.

[@kvernon1]

Sorry Rosie, but Tina didn't first "capture all of our hearts" as Ginger Grant. She was active both in movies and on Broadway prior to Gilligan's Island. I recall seeing her in a starring role in a movie on TCM entitled "God's Little Acre". This was produced in 1958, five years before Gilligan. And Tina couldn't have been happy hearing the GI theme song or listening to Rosie discussing that show. She was not a happy camper while portraying Ginger, and even said later that GI ruined her career.

[@autumnfragrance7185]

They weren't "added on." She insisted on being named last.

[@NOV123]

Exactly!

[@TheGuillermo519]

@@NOV123 Her contract had her listed as being in last place with no one after her, that Wells and Russell were reduced to "The rest" was due to the title song's roster and is the responsibility of the writer and producer. The song could have gone: "...and his wife. The professor and Mary And AND The Movie star" and included everyone but that's not what happened as we know. Tina Louise didn't write that theme and furthermore if it was in her contract to have no one mentioned after her then to change that she would have had to relent and allow the other two to be added in the second season thus the credit should also go to her not just Gilligan.

[@kvernon1]

@@TheGuillermo519 But the song couldn't have mentioned "the Professor and Mary Ann" before mentioning Ginger because Tina was promised a "starring" role, while Russell and Dawn were considered co-stars. And co-stars wouldn't be listed before the stars.

Ditto .... I heard the same thing PLUS that she wasn't much fun to work with and she thought the show was suppose to be more about her character the movie star '??' hence the name "Gilligan's" isle .. duh.

[@ozvoyager]

According to Dawn Wells, TL always felt as though she was above GI and seriously resented it becoming a TV classic. She always saw herself as a Movie Star, but GI permanently downgraded her to a mere TV star.

[@tj205bama]

Yep she hated Gilligan's island she doesn't even like to be referenced to it. Unfortunately nobody will ever remember her for anything else

Tina blame Gilligan’s Island for ruin her movie career. She had a bad attitude for her casting of her image and turn down literal hundreds of sex symbol roles offers.

[@PRmoustache88]

Not all actresses can be like Marilyn Monroe and Sophia Loren. Some end up on shows like Gilligan's Island. Just make sure you get residuals.

[@paulk9985]

Dawn Wells was the only smart one. She receives residuals.
