Dawn Wells, who is Mary-Ann, has a cookbook out, which is really a lot of fun. It's got thirteen coconut cream pie recipes.
Gilligan's Island is wherever you want it to be in your mind.
You know, I have no worst experiences.
Bob wrote his own auto-biography titled "Gilligan, Manyard and Me".
After Bob finished his first university degree, he had to make a choice between a law career or an acting career. Obviously, he ended up choosing acting.
In 1956, Bob was all ready to set off with the U.S. Army. But he broke his neck and was told they wouldn't deport him.
While on Gilligan's Island, Dawn Wells and Russell Johnson's characters (Mary-Ann and The Professor) weren't mentioned in the theme song, but the other characters were. Wells and Johnson campaigned to the crew, protesting their names should be included as well. Initially refusing, when Bob joined the campaign, the producers suddenly agreed.
Coincidentally, on The Many Loves Of Dobie Gills, Bob acted alongside a classmate of his, Dwayne Hickman, from Loyola.
Bob wasn't the original choice to play Gilligan. Jerry Van Dyke was the first priority, but fortunately for Denver, Van Dyke turned it down.
Bob went to the producers of Gilligan's Island to demand that Dawn Wells' and Russell Johnson's characters mentioned in the opening titles instead of just being referred to as "the rest". He requested that no one be told of his demand, so Wells and Johnson did not hear of Bob's efforts until years after the show went off the air.
Bob graduated from Loyola-Marymount University in Los Angeles.
