Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION The Anywhere Machine No wonder Mary Ann was always so perky on Gilligan's Island

From the San Francisco Chronicle, Mar. 11, 2008.

Dawn Wells, who played Mary Ann on "Gilligan's Island," is serving six months' unsupervised probation after allegedly being caught with marijuana in her car.
She was sentenced Feb. 29 to five days in jail, fined $410.50 and placed on probation after pleading guilty to one count of reckless driving.
Under a plea agreement, three misdemeanor counts — driving under the influence, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a controlled substance — were dropped.
On Oct. 18, Teton County sheriff's Deputy Joseph Gutierrez arrested Wells as she was driving home from a surprise birthday party that was held for her. According to the sheriff's office report, Gutierrez pulled Wells over after noticing her swerve and repeatedly speed up and slow down. When Gutierrez asked about a marijuana smell, Wells said she'd just given a ride to three hitchhikers and had dropped them off when they began smoking something. Gutierrez found half-smoked joints and two small cases used to store marijuana.
The 69-year-old Wells, founder of the Idaho Film and Television Institute and organizer of the region's annual family movie festival called the Spud Fest, then failed a sobriety test.
Wells' lawyer, Ron Swafford, said that a friend of Wells' testified that he'd left a small amount of marijuana in the vehicle after using it that day, and that Wells was unaware of it. Swafford also said several witnesses were prepared to testify that Wells had very little to drink at the party and was not intoxicated when she left. He said she was swerving on the road because she was trying to find the heater controls in her new car.

Excuses, excuses... was she wearing her perky little dress at the time?

So Mary Ann is a pot fiend? Suddenly her fixation with coconut cream pies makes more sense.

Nevertheless, I still love Mary Ann.

She's just carrying on Bob Denver's legacy.

BTW Semi, no hotlinky images. Bad!

What's that mean? Is there a new policy that we can't link to images on other sites? I wasn't aware of that. But thank you for fixing it.

Mary Ann meet Mary Jane.

I always dated girls like Ginger in high school, but I'm marrying a Mary Ann.

A 69 year old party girl who's around 65 centimeters tall?

Dang it Quis, you beat me too it!!i was gonna say Mary Ann's Last dance with Mary Jane.

Nope, not a new policy. Been in place for quite a while . It is just frowned upon to directly link to images not hosted by us, you or on an image sharing site. And not big deal. When I notice them I just add the image to the individual's upload folder here at LW.

It's always the quiet ones.

I always knew there was a reason she was my favorite. Party on Mary Ann!

69 years and party but a dwarf also? Cobie you kink!

I think maybe, inches?

This just ruins my whole image of Mary Ann.

I've always suspected East Toledoiannites to be metric system sympathizers. Your knowledge of that strange and terrifying system of measuring stuff (like Dawn that's-not-my-pot-officer-it's-hisandhisandhis Wells) betrayed you!

The late Natalie Schafer who played Mrs. Howell would always say that her key to happiness was a book called Joy. After her death a book titled Joy was found in her house. It was hollow and had a flask in it.

They really liked to party on that Island!

And fifty cents? Makes me wonder what the county needed to buy that cost exactly $410.50.

She's looking pretty good for 69. Maybe it's something she's smoking.
