I trace a preference for redheads to early crushes on Ginger and Ann Margret, but I liked both Ginger and Mary Ann. Especially when Mary Ann wore Daisy Dukes. On Thu, Dec 31, 2020 at 12:36 PM Karen Owen wrote: > On 12/31/2020 11:48 AM, Doug Eastick wrote: > > (and the ladies on the list are

In episode 2 of the Australian docuseries "Love on the Spectrum" (currently on Netflix--I'll use the "docu" term because it was on the pubcaster ABC instead of one of the commercial networks), one of the people on the autistic spectrum the series is about has brought his spectrum girl friend to a

For 13 year old boys in the early mid 1970s, who had zero actual experience in what makes women desirable, we were completely dependent on cultural signifiers. There was a naughty Farmer’s Daughter context for Mary Anne’s sexuality, but for the relatively sheltered early teens I ran with that was

I actually would agree with PGage's "developmental" supposition. Back In the mid-1980s when I was a pre-teen watching "Gilligan's Island" reruns in the afternoon on a local independent station, I was more attracted to Ginger -- she was the more obviously sexy of the two, so she was easier for

Last time I saw her in person was at Santa Anita (three or four years ago) where she was being honored for some equestrian charity work she had done. I met her during my intern days at CNBC, and I recall her doing a skit on Leno’s Tonight Show. In all encounters she was friendly and funny. On

She made token appearances but she wasn't part of the fabric of the community. The Terry Lee Wells Discovery Museum is named for her cousin. I don't think she ever did anything to promote it, but I could be wrong. The Discovery Museum is way cool and worth checking out. I get the sense she cut her

She was Miss Reno and Miss Nevada before going to Hollywood. Her family had several businesses here. Wells Avenue is named after her uncle. For a couple of years in the mid 1960s, right about the time Gilligan's Island had its first TV run, a young Tom Hanks lived in a duplex on Mill Street a
