She once said that the producer (or director) told her when she was cast that he wanted "a little bit of Marilyn Monroe." And she really captured it, IMHO.
It would be impossible to not immediately recognize Ginger as the auburn haired MM,, but I don't recall any other role until Tina unexpectedly popped up in the first season of Dallas as Julie Grey.

The only part you got right was Tina being promised a bigger role than what she was given. The issue was royalties. The standard deal was "100 episodes to syndication, then you get royalties." Schwartz being the snake killed the show at 98 episodes. The show went into syndication anyway BUT the cast didn't get royalties because it's only 98 episodes, and the deal was 100 episodes. Tina confronted Schwartz about it, and his response was to have everyone alienate her while he didn't bring her back for the movies. And that hurt the entire cast. Dawn Wells spent her last couple of years of life begging fans on the internet to send her money so she could survive. NO ONE got royalties thanks to Schwartz's sneaky under-handed bullcrap to kill the show two episodes before royalties could kick in. The only difference is Tina had the balls to confront Schwartz on it.
THAT is the REAL story. People forget that Sherwood Schwartz was a snake. This is one of the reasons why Robert Reed clashed with him all the time, and this is why Tina Louise clashed with him. Tina was made promises that they didn’t keep. To make it worse, Schwartz tried to gaslight in interviews to make it sound like Tina was an ungrateful diva.
I'm not so sure that's true. The commonly accepted story is at Gilligan's Island was canceled because the network president's wife was a huge fan of Gunsmoke and so he cancelled G.I. and gave the time slot to Gunsmoke to make her happy.
And nobody ever dared to publicly speak out about the shenanigans from the industry executives, lest they get blackballed and never get to work in that industry again…..
I remember that episode where a woman called Eva Grubb ended up on the island, she was like an office secretary or something and a shy, "ugly duckling" type, where they all tried make her blossom into a swan, she was sort of supposed to be the opposite of Ginger, but it turned out she was played by Tina Louise also.
But everybody's going to remember that show Gilligan Island that was a very good TV show back in the sixties and seventies😊😊😊😊😊 still today I watch that movie 🍿🍿🍿🍿
I always LOVED watching Gilligan's Island when I got home from school everyday. If anyone ever asks me, "Ginger or Mary Ann?" I always respond GINGER, GINGER, GINGER.
They used to ask “Ginger or Mary Ann?”, my answer was always yes😁 With as many different channels of entertainment now, there likely isn’t a modern equivalent to this question.
I can verify her attitude towards the others on the show. Straight from the mouth of the gorgeous Dawn Wells, personally. I had the pleasure of spending some time with Dawn in 2015. She said that Tina never ate lunch with them and sat off by herself at every break, rarely ever saying anything to anybody until the word “action” was shouted. Dawn said that Tina just wasn’t very nice to anyone. Tina also didn’t stay in touch with any of the other cast members after the show ended like the rest of the crew. I asked Dawn what her most memorable moment on the show was. Remember the episode where Gilligan came across the lion? Bob Denver (Gilligan) got a little to close to that lion, at one point, and the lion lunged at him with full intent. Freaked everyone out. Dawn was such a sweet and lovely woman. She was so skinny when I met her. I thought I was going to break her when I hugged her. I miss her.
Maybe she would have been remembered as a great actress if she had other roles but she is forever known as being on a beloved classic show watched by families week after week for many people’s childhoods.
I remember she was a recurring character on the first season of Dallas in 1978. She wasn't on there very long, but since that was the year the first Gilligan's Island reunion movie was made I've always thought maybe that's part of the reason why she didn't do it. Conflicting schedule
At CBS Radford Studios There’s The River Road Off The Colfax Gate at The Bridge is The Lagoon Building That’s Where The Original Lagoon Was It’s No Longer There Just a Building Called The Lagoon Building
She thought she was the show.... not Gilligan. She wanted it to be Tina's island. It's laughable people can't see she was an attention seeker and thought she was the main character on a show she was hired to be a background character. Now that's a narrsasist to the T ina
People act like she owes them something. She was on a TV show. She didnt attend all these reunions and autograph signings because apparently she didnt want to. Good for her. She outlived the entire cast, and did it on her own terms. Unlike shows today, these actors didnt get syndication money once the show was off the air. There was no financial reason for her to keep promoting it. SOme people arent nostalgic.
@@davebro2351 outlived the entire cast, and did it on her own terms. Pretty sure she just read the lines they wrote for her and how the director wanted... Nice try troll. Glad you find time to come out of your cave to write something negative.
I have fond memories of watching the reruns after school. Wonderful cast I remember one time I had my father sit there and watch a marathon of Gilligan’s Island. I loved it.
She did the best Marilyn Monroe impression the way she spoke. She nailed it perfectly and Tina was the epitome of what a Movie Star looked like back then! She was very beautiful and she was born to play Ginger Grant. ❤
That was the core of her character. She was a redheaded Marilyn! She even sang a Marilyn song one time on the show! It was "I want to be loved by you (poo poo pee boop)"
They could still do on final gilligans Island tv movie whre Ginger is rescued from the Island after all these years. Then it would be all about Ginger.
A rescued Ginger could dream up a 60 year old society still out there on an island paradise with a population of ????, who miss their red headed great grandmother responsible for Gingerville along with professor, Skipper, the millionaire, and maybe Gilligan. The team from Marianneville have the best basketball team and host an all island wrestling tournament once a month.
Tina is a smokin hot redhead. I know, nothing like stating the obvious. She, like the rest of the cast, wasn't paid well for her portrayal of Ginger. That show has been on TV for 50 years and they have not been paid any residuals. I think she is just the right amount of grateful for that role.
Typical for shows in those years. Cast of Star Trek got none from their show either. Even shows created in the last few years often get next to nothing due to the encroachment of streaming services.
She was also J.R. Ewing's first secretary and love interest off and on during some episodes of the first two seasons of "Dallas" , but unfortunately , they killed her character of Julie Grey off . Considering how that show later became a worldwide phenomenon and must see TV during the early and mid '80's , it's too bad they didn't keep her character on that show a little longer , maybe making her a regular part of the cast , that way she would have been known for a lot more than just Ginger Grant , which I got the impression that she sometimes resented , and thought kept her from getting roles .
Man it's been that many years ago like 55 years ago or 60 and look at how well they did over the years and how good they looked and the amazingness of it I mean some actors just Some actors just after 5 years later don't look good we're talking 50/60 years ago and they still look good
To be fair to Tina Louise, I heard in one interview that her agent had misrepresented her role as being the lead in Gilligan's island, and she basically signed before she realized that she was just one of the cast of many.
Funny thing is that while being standoff from 'THE REST' choosing to be a Hollywood party circut gal & a daily cigarette smoker she now is the sole survivor
I understand not wanting to be typecast or just being remembered for a role she didnt care for that much. Then on the other hand, be grateful for what you have, and that your remembered.
Yes, considering the number of hopefuls who come to Hollywood then get stuck in bit parts or leave the acting profession entirely. Competition is fierce and only a very small percentage ever get any national exposure at all. These actors seem entitled to only the very best roles and become attitudinal when a part or script isn't "up to their standards". 🙄 Work is work, and quality roles and writing are especially rare on an American sitcom. These people's expectations are totally out of whack.
When you push your beauty envelope without substance this is bound to happen. Unlike a Monroe who dedicated herself to continuous schooling or a Bette who acted from the core and defied being typecast.
I hope she is proud of her iconic role. They were all leading roles, really. It's a really fun show and the character portrayals were well done by the whole cast, despite the somewhat silly plotlines.
maybe if they had a residual deal like actors get today, she wouldve felt better about the show. the show was a curse to most of it's stars, because they ended up being typecast. the only one who escaped this was jim baccus, who was already typecast from the time he was in radio
I never cared for all the negative banter about shows and there stars No one is perfect.😊 I always had a thing for Ginger, she was absolutely gorgeous 😍 in my eyes 👀 😍 💙 ♥️
Was very sophisticated! Rural folks anywhere had to have been taken with that persona! Summer stock in hiatus must have been made special times for locals. It was the notion that a sophisticate could still cling to that former existence that made it special. She was different from the others. Probably helped to stay in character. She did do other things but it was that character I remember the best out of choice. I was grateful she had a chance at a police drama. The past role really could have locked her into that niche. SHE WROTE A BOOK. Discovering so many people in life had difficulties made it a less lonely world.
It was one of the best movies because of those great movie stars Ginger and Mary Ann and professor and the millionaires and Skipper and Gilligan it was just a great movie
Anyone ever notice the characters represented the Seven Deadly Sins Professor. Pride Skipper. Wrath Gilligan. Gluttony Mr Howell. Greed Mrs Howell. Sloth Mary Ann. Envy Ginger. Lust.
You can blame Sherwood Shwartz. When he recruited her, he told her she would be the main character. Turns out told Alan Hale the same thing. Alan was already a popular actor on western flicks. Shwartz convinced Hale to fly from TX to CA on a days noticed to read for the part of the skipper. He accomplished this by promising Hale it was a leading role. Its possible he told the entire casr they would be in the leading role.
If sher stellar career had matched her self perception then she would have been way too busy to accept the role. I know that she has played other parts but none come to mind so she has been defined by a role that she despised
Wait, can you really find fault with an actor /actress wanting to not be pigeon holed into a character type, but wanting to try other more demanding roles?
Dawn Wells and Tina Louise were friends. It got all blown out of proportion. As a matter of fact, Dawn Wells brought Tina Louise to her mothers house for a visit.
Yeah. But I mean she nailed the Hollywood glamour movie star to a T
Something she never obtained in real life and felt miserable about it. She wanted the show to be. All about her. Sorry Tina. It was Gilligans Island 😢
Yes, but i mean that too to a T proggoprong 😉 🤣
I wonder how good of an actress she could’ve been another movies or series
She once said that the producer (or director) told her when she was cast that he wanted "a little bit of Marilyn Monroe." And she really captured it, IMHO.

Tina Louise did a great job as Ginger. She is a talented actress and is a very beautiful woman.
You're more than right! I love/d her!

she should have been grateful to have been so loved by so many millions of people for over 50 yrs
She was.
Even this short states she appreciated what the show means to people ...but that doesn't pay the bills does it?
She would be unknown without that role.
I always used to wonder how Ginger, Maryanne, and Lovey had so many different clothes when it was only a three hour tour.
And how they kept their wardrobe so clean and pressed for all those years stuck on that uncharted island, lol.
The magic of television
The professor brought all his science books and equipment 😅

As I aged into my teens, I know the show should change to Ginger, Maryann, and the rest.
That's what the creator of the show said to her when she complained to him about storylines involving her.
