Dawn Wells interview - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Yes, we all know about Dawn Wells and the marijuana bust. I have a question, though.
I believe that "Entertainment Tonight" had advertized an exclusive interview with her. I waited for it on Thursday night but it never appeared. Was it on on Friday? Is it still to be on? If I missed it and anyone saw it, I was curious as to whether she said anything about GI at all. Could you enlighten me? Thanks.

I had a thought on this interview. Dawn Wells stated that she makes her livelihood on the reputation of Maryann. That puzzled me. Dawn Wells does not equal Maryann, I would think. I wasn't there, so I don't know whether she was actually guilty or innocent, of course but, still. When Bob Denver got in trouble several years ago, I think people who loved Gilligan still loved Gilligan and probably most of these fans still loved Bob Denver for his portrayal of Gilligan. He also was a teacher and anticipating a law career--things the Gilligan we saw on the series (so far) seemed to have no interest in doing. What difference did it make? If Maryann were an actual woman, would she be living what we know of Dawn Wells' life? I don't think so. I don't think she'd be an actress and she may not have gone on to college the way Dawn Wells did (studying chemistry at first). I can see Maryann possibly being a businesswoman in some regard or starting some things based on her interests as Dawn Wells has, but I think she would want more than anything to marry Gilligan and be the mother of his children. And even if she did do some other things, she would DEFINITELY be doing these things, which Dawn Wells is not. I don't see how they're the same people or how it matters.
