For a 15 year old watching Gulligan’s Island believe me, she was ravishing.
Ginger or Mary Ann?
Ginger for me.
The Goldman book is one of the best I have read on Hollywood.
Another awesome edition, Robert.
I love the simplicity and functionality of the Timex.
The David Hockney painting is impressive, The details….
I love the art deco details on the Bringing Up Baby poster.
Tina Louise will always be Gina Grant for me….
I was reading that she hated Gilligan’s Island, thinking, when she signed up, that she would be a main character. But of course she got typecast.
I remember some years ago there was a TV movie on how Guilligan’s Island came into being.
