Dawn Wells, Mary Ann from Gilligan's Island, was busted in Idaho for having some pot in her car the other day. Interestingly, Bob Denver was also popped for the hippie lettuce not long before he began his dirt nap. I'm sure Jim Backus may have enjoyed a nice fattie to get motivation to spoon Lovey. People involved with Gilligan's Island? Stoned? Now I know why they couldn't get off the island. They'd start off with a plan, toot some bud, then they forget what the hell they were doing. Skipper chases Gilligan, gets tangled up in the hammock and everyone eats coconut cookies. Mary Ann rides that bike that ran the radio and they have a grand old time, and the guest star leaves the island while the unfortunate seven are in their reefer-induced haze.
Could she look any sweeter in her mugshot? I'm surprised they didn't just let her go. She truly looks like a very nice lady. She would have to be; imagine all the jerks who must have made lewd remarks about what they would have done with her if they were on that island.

Jerks? There's nothing jerky about it, in those shorts she was the hottest one on the island, and one of the hottest women on TV at the time (at least right up there with Jeannie and Ellie May). After all, she WAS in the 1960 Miss America pageant (Miss Nevada). And despite the fact that she's 69, I'm sure a lot of those "jerks" would still pick her over Ginger.
One thing the news articles didn't mention is that Dawn's business, "Wishing Wells Collections", makes clothing for people with limited mobility. She also founded the Idaho Film and Television Institute, and organized "SpudFest", an annual family movie festival.
