Summer Fun: Remembering Gilligan’s Island

Tina Louise Was Not Happy with Her Role as Ginger

Gilligan’s Island wasn’t without some spats on set – as is probably true for almost any TV show. Apparently, there was some on-set tension between major cast members and Tina Louise. Tina often removed herself from the rest of the cast. She would sit away from them while they joked and chatted. This was apparently because she was mad about her role. Her agent had told her she was going to be the star of the show, but when it came down to it, she had to share the spotlight.
