STUNNING!
Just STUNNING! This was TOTALLY unexpected!! You always thought she'd be around. At least around longer. Now Ginger is the last surviving castaway. RIP Dawn Wells. |

82 isn't young but she always stayed youthful looking.

"Gilligan's Island" star Dawn Wells hopes that fans of the beloved show might help her out of a financial jam. TMZ reports that the actress best known for playing Mary Ann on the iconic show is about $200,000 in debt, an apparent result of medical bills and investment losses. A friend has now launched a GoFundMe so that the former TV star can move to an assisted care facility, "hopefully in the motion picture home that she likes," the GoFundMe page says. The pal says Dawn has had some difficult health battles of late. She spent last year recovering from a major surgery that "came close to killing her," the page says, and she also broke her knee earlier this year. According to the GoFundMe page, Dawn said, "I just don't know what happened! I thought I would be just fine, but apparently I'm not. I've found myself with no home, husband or kids. I thank God every day that I have friends and fans who care or this whole thing would be too overwhelming!"
