Dawn Wells looking good in 2001 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

This is Dawn on the Tonight Show parody of Survivor, which ran for 5 Fridays in February 2001. SPOILER ALERT. She survived all the challenges.

She's with Gary Coleman, Florence Henderson, Jerry Mathers, Charlene Tilton of Dallas and announcer Edd Hall.

Speaking of surviving, according to IMDB, Dawn is the only cast member to still get residuals. At the time, she was married to her agent and CBS humored him by giving long-term residuals, never imagining Gilligan's Island would last.

Is that really true?

I thought they all got screwed on the residuals and stopped getting paid after like three repeats or something. Maybe it is from something else or the DVDs but I don't think it is from the reruns

@ Smilings...Yes, I have seen more than one source that explains how Dawn Wells received residuals because her husband at the time was an agent and had a special clause in her contract.

It's amazing. Mary Ann was better with money than Mr. Howell.

All the more so because at first, the song didn't even mention Mary Ann by name. Like the Professor, she was included in "and the rest here on Gilligan's Isle."
