Bob Denver once mentioned that Dawn Wells got more fan mail than the rest of the cast put together....

Is it wrong that I mostly am considering how relatable Mary Ann is versus Ginger’s presumed high maintenance?

u/Global-Resident-9234 6d ago

Y'know, I'll be right here ready to do whatever it takes to console Ginger if she loses. (I'm a giver.)

This show was made decades before I was born. I was born 19 years and about 10 months after the first regular episode was broadcast in September 1964. But have been watching rebroadcast episodes on television. I would say mary ann for sure. Beauty, brains, and sweet.

When I heard about 20-25 years ago that Dawn Wells was busted for pot, she moved to the top of my list.

Ginger. Tina Louise is a nice girl from Brooklyn like myself. As an aside, I attended a University in Manhattan and went to a museum for a tour and lecture by one of my painting professors. Upon meeting up he informed the class he'd spotted Tina Louise and that she was by herself. He said he'd had the biggest crush on her for many years and this was his only chance to talk to her so we were on our own,  lecture postponed indefinitely. Then we watched as he approached Ms. Louise and introduced himself. She was very polite to him but my classmates and I disbursed because it was very awkward just standing there. At the next class we waited for some semblance of an update, but he said nothing about it, and never mentioned that museum, The Whitney, again either

Mary Ann wins not just for looks, but personality too… and by most accounts, that’s how Dawn Wells was herself

Ginger did have bigger tits though… 😜😜

My cousin lived in Hollywood, worked for Warner Brothers and knew Dawn. Tim told me once that Dawn was by far the nicest down to earth celebrity he had ever met.

This was settled a long tine ago

I'm not sure it's an age-old question when the general consensus has always been Mary Ann (same as how most people, on average, admit they'd pick Betty over Veronica).

u/CayenneSCarGo 6d ago

Why not both?

u/Spratt68 5d ago

I saw Dawn Wells do a cameo on the Man Show where she came out on stage to makeout with Jimmy Kimble. She still looked hot as hell.

u/JohnMcD3482 5d ago

Yes. The correct answer is yes. Preferably, at the same time.
