Dawn Wells lives just a few miles from me ,the girls are still kicking and guys kicked the bucket - loved them all - one of my favorite comedies of all time.

Born in '65, this and Happy Days as well as The Brady Bunch were the shit.

Great childhood memories,...thanks, The whole cast was great! RIP to those who gave passed :(

This show was such a big part of my childhood. I thank them all for the memories.

Many great memories from this group of people. All great entertainers and all brought many moments of joy and laughter to my childhood!!!

"And Now There Are Two": Rest In Peace RUSSELL JOHNSON (November 10, 1924 - January 16, 2014)

I met Bob Denver in person while he was at the Corousel Dinner Theater in Ravenna. He was so nice and didn't act stuck up like most actors there like George Hamilton. And Tab Hunter, them too acted like jerks. But Bob Denver was so sweet and kind

They are all amazing, and iconic and part of t.v history. Love each and every one of them!

Professor could keep the batteries in the radio running for 3 years,turn a bunch of coconuts & bamboo into a lab but couldn't patch a hole in the boat.But man,I loved this show.

It was a great show. I choose to remember them as they were then. What they look like years later has nothing to do with Gilligan's Island.

R.I.P! I love this show and I am 17 years old!

Loved that show, never missed and episode!! Thank you for this :)

got a kiss from DAWN WELLS on my birthday in Lakeland Fla. on my 60th birthday .she's still a beautiful as ever.

It was nice seeing this. My father was friends with Allen Hale and was also his barber. Although they have both passed on, I remember fondly the stories.

The Professor had "six college degrees, and couldn't build a boat." That is far more realistic than the cast might have realized.

These people are my favorite and some are good people that are funny to me. The show was always be my favorite and always will be. I watch this show every day

yeah life's quick and short. one of my favourite shows as a kid watching reruns in the 80s

Ginger (Tina Louise) and Mary Ann (Dawn Wells) are the only surviving "castaways" left here on Earth, while the rest of the cast of the Minnow sailed off into the Eternal Sunset. R.I.P. Professor, Skipper, Gilligan, and Mr. and Mrs. Howell.

My friend and I were walking through a casino in the afternoon and saw Adam West by himself at the bar waiting for Dawn Wells for some convention they were guest starring at. It was so cool asking him all about the show, who his favorite cat-woman was, stuff like that. I asked him to leave a message on my families answering machine and he did! Then after about 20 mins or so, Dawn came walking up and gave me a great big hug. I told her she was always my favorite. She was very down to earth.

Russell Johnson, who played the professor on "Gilligan's Island," died Jan. 16, 2014(1 Year ago today) Johnson died at his home in Washington state of natural causes, His wife, Constance, said he died of kidney failure. "He died at home, peaceful, in his sleep at 5:21 a.m. He was 89 and the last surviving male star from the classic 1960s sitcom-which famously listed all of its characters in the more well-known version of its iconic opening theme song.Johnson retired from acting in the 1990s but still made Gilligan's Island-related appearances in more recent years, Married three times, Johnson is survived by his wife, actress Constance Dane, stepson Courtney Dane and daughter Kim from his second marriage............... ... another castaway has left the island for good.R.I.P "Professor"

Can't believe only Tina Louise(Ginger)age 82 and Dawn Wells(Mary Ann)age 77 are the only living Gilligan's Islands cast members left. Still love the series.🙂🙂

That show had me in stitches when I was a kid!

I also met Bob Denver at a dinner theater in El Paso, Tx were he played Felix in The Odd Couple. I asked him if he had done it before and he said no. I then asked how long they had rehearsed “ 2 days” he said. No wonder he was so good at all he did. Brilliant guy.

Great show never forget sitting on the floor can't wait for it to start it was like traveling in time to thath island.

Maryann was my favorite character on Gilligan's Island.

RIP Russell Johnson aka "The Professor"

This photo of me was when I was 21yrs old. You would not give me a second glance now. Sadly, we all have to get old. Some of the people that have commented, have not looked into a mirror, and have they entertained us? Who remembers "Laugh In"? that show kept me laughing all thru the program. God Bless those who "ENTERTAINED US" Not like today's programs.

one of my most favorite childhood shows along with Gomer Pyle and Get Smart

RIP Professor! Now it's just Mary Ann and Ginger!

If the professor could build a radio out of some odd pieces of junk, why couldn't he figure out how to patch up a hole in the boat?

RIP Professor!!

I enjoyed listening to the interview. A great group of people having fun with their past. Some good information and photos. Good post, thanks.

This was an awesome video!!! I always wondered what happened to these guys!!!

Tina Louise blamed Gilligans Island on her failures in Hollywood but no one forced her to take that part!

man man man i use to love this show me n my daddy use to always watch it i use to lmao damn i miss the old days

Russell Johnson-R.I.P

Gilligan's Island was ALWAYS in the top 5 for the 3 years it was on. And it was cancelled ONLY because a studio head's wife - played bridge on Friday nights - and preferred to watch "Gunsmoke" instead of Gilligan's Island - so Gilligan's Island was moved from Friday Night 8:00 to Tuesday Night 8:30 - then another move to Thursday Night - 9:00 and then it was taken off the air. And the "lagoon" was paved over - to be the new studio parking lot! And Ginger rarely spoke to anyone on the cast!!!

😀 I still have a TV crush on Dawn. The lady that played Mary Ann on Gilligans Island. I crack myself up...😂

Well, it's 2019 and all have gone to that spirit in the sky except Ginger and Maryann. No matter how far-fetched or silly the episode appeared, it was still fun watching it!!!

Good grief, I was RIGHT to favor Maryanne over Ginger!

May Russell Johnson rest in peace.

1964... ha I thought I was watching it for the first time in the early 70's, would run home to watch Gilliagan's Island.

Thanks for this. Lots of interesting facts I did not know and that make for great trivia. However, that pic that you used for Tina Louise is scary!

Tina Louise then: "Daaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmn!" Tina Louise today: "Damn!" Dawn Wells then AND now: "Daaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmn!"

RIP Russell Johnson

Still watch it when it's on! Crazy & fun show!

This show was already nostalgia 30 years ago in 1985. I liked the 1978 return to the island movie it and a few singing parts in this series like the "you need us" song sang by the girls.

I don't know if you are interested in corrections to the grammar, but just in case: "Russel IS currently lives in ..." should be "Russel currently lives in..." and "On April 1991 Natalie HAD died" should be: " On April 1991 Natalie died"

The Professor died the same day as the band manager from "The Partridge Family".

@wherearetheynowguy: This has been a fascinating journey filled with wonderful trivia that I very much enjoyed. You did a spectacular job with this, and I can't wait to see what other videos you have. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this such an enjoyable trip down memory lane! Best wishes & kindest regards, Snowy Peace.

I got to meet the Skipper back in the early 80's when I went to the Lobster Barrel with my family for my birthday. He was so nice and sweet and even kissed my hand!!! I'll never forget that!

I hate to know bob had throat cancer. I had throat cancer also been in remission for about three years. But i have to talk with a device. I had to have my vocal cords removed to be able to live. Didnt know bob had it to .

Pretty much settles the whole Ginger vs Mary Ann question, doesn't it?

The show lives on from their hearts the actors that are deceased will never be forgotten luckily Tina is a lovely actress alive.💖

They couldn't be young forever... Gosh, I used to love this show.x.

Jane Mansfield as Ginger and Rachel Welch as Maryann....That would of been amazing. Tina and Dawn were great anyway.

Tina Louise looks like a monsta!

Best People ever and they were the Legends that made us happy to watch when we came home from school.. Man I loved Gilligans Island

Awww I loved this show and I love all of them this was one of my favorite shows I miss watchin this show R.I.P. YALL is very much missed

Why no mention of Jim Baccus being the father in the movie classic Rebel without a Cause?

Dawn Wells Looks Nice Nowadays

One of my favorite shows

My art teacher used to put this whenever we drew. At first I didn't want to watch it I thought that it was too old until I paid attention and actually found it funny.

I tried re-watching this series a few years ago -- couldn't do it. . . Too hokey. . . When I was 9, however, I ran home from school just to watch the show, including intro song. . .

The professor really looks different. Tina didn't age well but you can still tell it's her. I wouldn't recognize the prof.

Great show. I enjoyed watching it.

I was a nine yrs ol. In those days. Were good times. And a terrible times too. I watches this programs. Every weeks. And I liked it. It was so. Funny. Too mean.

I watched a show about the gilligan's island cast. You may have seen it. It's called Surviving Gilligan's Island". It turns out that Tina Louise is one of the most vile, insolent human beings on the planet. Truly a shallow and unkind woman. It is laughable. She is far over rated in her own mind. Even if she was extremely talented and beautiful, which she is not and her career is proof of that, her opinion of herself and treatment of others would be repulsive. Pretty is as pretty does which makes her very ugly. I loved the rest of the cast and it seems that they were all very close and cohesive. It is interesting that Tina always spoke horribly about Gilligan's Island and it is the only place she ever had any success. I think that is because the rest of the cast carried her. I am ranting, but it is because I just watched the documentary and I am disgusted by her. The real talent, the rest of the cast, put up with a lot from her.

The professor died too

I can't believe that there's not one single full episode of Gilligan's Island on KZfaq!

Fun show, those actors gave me a lot of laughs when I was watching as a kid. I had about 5 channels back then, now we have 300 and barely anything worth watching.

Dawn Wells - still hot.

LIFE HASN'T BEEN GOOD TO GINGER. DAMN.

Dreama lives here in the Bluefield -Princeton Wv area and is quite active in volunteering to various VET organizations. Met her last December 2015, she's a class act.

The professor died a couple years ago. He lived many years on Bainbridge Island , WA and much of a recluse.

in that one photo of tina louise she looked like hell

DAMN, TINA LOOKS LIKE A OLD DRAG QUEEN!!!

I ran into Dawn Wells a few years ago and she still looked great.. She was very friendly and gave me a huge hug....She was at a promotional event with Adam West and I ran into them in the afternoon beforehand and had a drink with them.. Nice memory

I love this what you did where are they now I always wanted to know what happened to the actors when they were born and when they died and of what I always wanted a documentary on all the old shows from the late 50's till in between till now love what you went with this yours truly arnie a. Thanks

I'm sorry about the many complaints of Tina's photo. That photo was taken on March 7, 2010. (9 months earlier of the video was made) therefore, that is the latest photo of Tina.

I always liked maryann a lot better than ginger,she was a lot more girl next door,meaning a lot more girl for me! I thought ginger was kind of fake!

I THOUGHT THIS WAS A GREAT VID YOU PUT TOGETHER..... I SO ENJOYED IT...SINCE THEN, THE PROFESSOR HAS PASSED ON. ALOT OF PEOPLE DON'T AGE WELL.... YOU DID GREAT!!!!! THX FOR THE UPDATE/VIDEO...KEEP THEM COMING.... AND I LIKED THE BACKGROUND INTERVIEW....

The cool thing is you can continue the tradition by watching with your own kids. My kids love to watch classic tv...stuff I grew up on.

Why would you use present tense when speaking of those who have passed away?

The fonts were difficult to read. You need to be using a back-shadowing to avoid this problem.

Funny, I thought it was a few years ago when I met them, but my buddy told me it was more like 9 or ten years ago... My how time flies! ....Ooops!

unfortunately, now all the male actors of this show are deceased.

BOB DENVER WAS "MAYNARD G. KREBS" LONG BEFORE G.I ON THE DOIE GILLIS SHOW!!

This is great. Thanks... funny people, naturally.

When I was a kid I was a Mary Ann man, but when I got older I turned Ginger.

RIP Pofessor

My goodness Tina Louise did not age well.

i still watch these reruns

I've saw them separately at conventions - but wow! NOTHING could compare to THAT kind of memory!

Mary Ann or Ginger? Well based on the photos here, I'll chose Mary Ann

The entire Gilligan's Island series only lasted 3 years!!!! They made 36 shows per year. It was cancelled while still in the top 25 - simply because a TV exec's wife played cards on Friday night - (Gilligan's Island was on Friday Night 8:30PM) - and her card group preferred to watch GunSmoke - so GunSmoke was moved to Friday night - and Gilligan's Island was moved to Wednesday!!! Then to Monday - then off the air - while still in the top 25 slot!!!!!!! On the air September 26, 1964, to September 4, 1967. And the actual "lagoon" is now a parking lot at Universal Studios (A lagoon actually never existed)!!!!!!

Are you kidding me? The show has been off the air for like 45 years. These people were in their 20's when they started filming. Bob and Russell actually look appropriate for their age. Dawn and Tina look phenomenal and kudos to them. Remember, characters don't age, actors do. And these ladies did it with grace, elegance, and style. One more thing, and this is in no way an insult to the gentlemen. Let's see THEM wearing tank tops. No, let's not. Right? Bravo Dawn! Bravo Tina!

Thanks... Funny, because one of my buddies runs a limo service in L.A., and I have met Cuba Gooding Jr, Kevin Costner, among others, but for me, it was more exciting to meet Adam West and Dawn Wells because I grew up watching them on T,V. as a kid... Plus, what an awesome experience to have them to myself for a an hour or so. I'm glad Adam West got his gig as mayor West on Family Guy. Funny sideline, my mom erased the mssg he left on the answering machine because she thought it was a prank! lol

Great fun, I'll take Mary Ann

I'LL Take Natally Lovey Howell, Born 1901!!!!! Was 90 when she Died, 1991!!!! -------------------------- In 1964 she was 63!!! I'LL Take the Natalie Lovey Howell, age 63!!!
