Dawn Wells, who parlayed her girl-next-door charm and wholesome beauty into enduring TV fame as the sweet-natured desert island castaway Mary Ann on the classic 1960s sitcom “Gilligan’s Island,” died on Wednesday at age 82, her publicist said.

Wells said that question was the most common topic mentioned to her by fans. “Mostly they’ll pick a favorite, Ginger or Mary Ann. For some reason, they feel they have to make a choice,” Wells told Forbes magazine in 2016. “Gilligan’s Island” was canceled by network executives despite respectable ratings, then became ubiquitous in syndicated reruns.

Like some of her co-stars, she suffered from typecasting in Hollywood after the series ended, appearing in TV guest spots and stage work before taking roles in B-movies.
