Dawn Wells


Dawn Wells found success in the industry right after she got her part as Mary Ann Summers on the hit sitcom Gilligan’s Island during the ‘60s. Back in the days, she’s considered one of the most beautiful personalities working in front of the camera. If anyone still needs further convincing, the actress also won the Miss Nevada title and competed for the 1960 Miss America crown. Outside the entertainment industry, Dawn was with many charitable works throughout the years.

However, in 2018, the actress went through financial troubles, especially after she underwent surgery. Dawn’s fans donated a significant amount of money to the actress through a GoFundMe page to help with her insurance bills. Sadly, though, just before 2020 ended, Dawn Wells passed away due to health complications. Even so, the actress is often remembered fondly for the contributions she made in the entertainment industry, to her fans, and her loved ones.
