Dawn Wells Biography |
|||||||||||||
| Dawn Wells is best known for her role as Mary Ann Summers on the sitcom Gilligan's Island, which ran on CBS from 1964 until 1967. She graduated in 1960 with a degree in theatre. She was a member of the Alpha Chi Omega sorority. In 1959, Wells was crowned Miss Nevada and represented her state in the 1960 Miss America pageant. After moving to Hollywood, she began appearing in guest roles in such television series as 77 Sunset Strip, Maverick, and Bonanza before winning the role of Mary Ann. As Mary Ann, she expressed a certain wholesomeness while simultaneously displaying a pronounced sexual allure with her eye-catching outfits. She starred with Michael Dante in the 1975 independent movie, "Winterhawk", playing a Western settler kidnapped by a Native-American chief. Today, she runs a successful business making special clothing for people with limited mobility. Still active in local theater across the country, Wells also runs an ongoing actors workshop from her ranch in Driggs, Idaho. Further, Wells is also a dedicated alumna of Stephens College. In April 2005, according to Forbes Collector, Wells personally consigned for sale, via an auction house in Beverly Hills called Profiles in History, her original gingham blouse and shorts ensemble from her signature role. The winning bid for the Mary Ann Summers outfit from Gilligan's Island was ,700. From 27 October 1962 until 1967, she was married to Larry Rosen, a talent agent. For many years, she was the companion of Tom Irvin. | |||||||||||||
