LOS ANGELES, Dec 31 — 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 sitcomWells, who won the title of Miss Nevada in 1959 and competed in the Miss America contest, died from complications of Covid-19, publicist Harlan Boll said in a statement.
Wells, playing a cheerful brunette Midwestern farm girl, appeared in the series wearing short shorts, midriff tops and pigtails. Louise, playing a buxom red-headed sensation akin to Marilyn Monroe, wore slinky, form-fitting dresses. The two inspired what became an enduring pop culture question for men: “Ginger or Mary Ann?”
“A misconception is that we must be wealthy, rolling in the dough, because we got residuals. We didn't really get a dime,” Wells toldWells said she was paid US$750 a week, adding, “Sherwood Schwartz, our producer, reportedly made US$90 million on the reruns alone.”
