Dawn Wells starred as the “good girl” Mary Ann in the popular 1960s show “Gilligan’s Island”.The actress starred as the unapologetic “good girl” who was stranded on an island with six other castaways. “Gilligan’s Island” ran from 1964 to 1967 – for three seasons – and yet it has never gone off the air. It continues to be screened across the world in over 30 languages.
Wells, a Reno native, represented Nevada in the Miss America pageant in 1959 before taking on the iconic role. For the role of Mary Ann, she beat out 350 other actors, including Raquel Welch. She wrote a 2014 memoir, “What Would Mary Ann Do?: A Guide to Life,” that riffed on her sweet and lovable character. Russell Johnson, who played the Professor on the show, captured the soul of Mary Ann in the foreword of the book.

She was 82....news flash people are not immortal. Pneumonia gets huge numbers every year, except 2020.
Sadly I went past an animal dead in the field, COVID doesn’t discriminate,

Media renames death, to COVID.
Pneumonia most likely. Many elderly die from it following catching a flu virus or a cold. Stuffs the lungs. Not unique to COVID.
