Tina Louise - Soft Sounds - Mancini

Although she is most associated with playing Ginger Grant on Gilligan's Island (1964), she detests the role and has not appeared in any of the series' various reunion specials. According to Russell Johnson, Tina was told she would be the main star of the series when she was initially approached about doing it, and when she arrived in Los Angeles after accepting the offer, she found out otherwise. Johnson also recalls that while Tina remained professional throughout the series' run without raising a fuss, she "divorced herself from the show as soon as it went off the air".
