This was brought up in another thread; I thought I'd start a new one just for this. I did a little research. Did I miss anything?


There is, of course, the original Gidget. She's real, folks. Her name is Kathy Kohner. See her story here:

Now, in movies we had:

Sandra Dee in "Gidget"
Deborah Walley in "Gidget Goes Hawaiian"
Cindy Carol in "Gidget Goes to Rome"


On television:
Sally Field in "Gidget"
Caryn Richman in "The New Gidget" and the TV movie "Gidget's Summer Reunion" (1985)

Other TV movies:
Karen Valentine in "Gidget Grows Up" (1969)
Monie Ellis in "Gidget Gets Married" (1972)
Kathy Gori (voice only) in "Gidget Makes the Wrong Connection" (1972, animated)
