Why Tina Louise Almost Quit Gilligan’s Island

“Gilligan Island” was broadcast only for three seasons on CBS, but it became a sense of restarting when it achieved participation after its abolition in 1967. Children on the market for the ridiculous playless play after school while they were neglected anywhere in the island. Almost every episode revolves around the attempts of characters that inevitably foiled to return to civilization, and this familiarity was given a hint of contempt.

The main reason was previously old because his targeted fans, which are the unrelated actors’ team. Bob Denver (Geligan), Alan Hill Junior (leader), Jim Bakos (Thorston Hao), Natalie Chevir (Luffy Haoy), Russell Johnson (Professor Roy Hinkeli), Downth Wales (Mary Ann), and Tina Louise (Jinger) is completely fully intended. You cannot imagine anyone else playing these roles.

Surprisingly, creative Sherwood Schwartz went to a series with a completely different team. In fact, the pilot, who was not broadcast until October 14, 1941, was different, different actors playing the roles of Professor, Jinger, and Bani (who later became Mary Ann). When the network expressed its little interest in moving forward with the pilot pilot, Schwartz tested more actors to fill the group. His most ambitious choice proved that Tina Louise, the cinematic actress and the outstanding theater that won Golden Globe in 1958 to a new star of the year for her performance in “The Little Fedam” in Anthony Man. Louise ended being an ideal occasion for ginger, but she was not at first confirmed. In fact, the part has almost decreased.

In a recent interview with Forbes, 91-year-old Louise remembered how she left the Broadway Show (“Tatlash-Tatlash,” Carole Burnett Championship) to play Ginger on “Gilijan Island”. But it almost retreated when the scenario that was given to read the character was filmed differently from what it was. According to Louise:

“CBS Casting Ethel Winant Director called me in the theater,” Do you think you can play this character of the type Lucille Ball/Marilyn Monroe? “I said yes.

Louise said that the CBS president invited her to his office to get her to reconsider. “I made it clear to him that I do not want to play her and I didn’t think the show would be successful, and change the original idea of ​​the character,” said Luiz. “You cannot go to people’s homes and wear someone like a doll and then make it not nice.” Fortunately, CBS CEO agreed, and she rented a new manager who got what he had to be tone. Maybe I heard about this man. “[H]”Richard Donner, who was great, had a great sense of humor, then the book began writing for what I was supposed to do and the show became success, and I enjoyed the part,” she said.

So the credit for the man who will give us the “omen”, “Superman” and “his boy’s weapon” to prevent Louise from returning to the theater. Although she never found an unforgettable role like ginger, she continued to act for decades and it appears to be happy.
