Awhile back someone made one of those off-hand comments about Gilligan's Island. You know how it is, Gilligan's Island is one of those things that our generation grew up watching as re-runs along with the Brady Bunch and I Love Lucy. I don't even remember now what the comment was but my daughter piped in and wanted to know what Gilligan's Island is. So we ordered the first season of Gilligan's Island shows on dvd and my daughter has been entralled with them for a week now. She loves the show so much that we have broken down and ordered the second and third seasons also. There were only three seasons of this iconic show. This morning, my daughter asked how old the actors were who played the parts on Gilligan's Island. So we went to our go-to resource: Wikipedia. Most of the ages were no surprise, except for Mrs. Howell, played by Natalie Schafer. She was 64 years old when the show was filmed! We never would have guessed that. Her profile on Wikipedia even stated that her friends were shocked upon finding out her real age at the time of her death. I think she had excellent genetics and must have taken great care of herself to look that good.
