Here's something you might be interested in.
So, the actress that played Mary-Ann on Gilligan's Island spent 5 days in jail, and got 6 months probation for driving under the influence.
The officers smelled the booze on her, when she was driving home from a surprise birthday party her friends had for her.
It would've been funny if she thought the cops that pulled her over were strippers, hired by her friends.
Another thing that was funny, is when the cops found five joints, she said they beloned to a couple hitchhikers she just picked up. I would've asked, "Did the hitchhikers also have booze they poured down your gullet?"
Now, actress Dawn Wells (I believe her real name is)...was a Miss Nevada at some point (I seem to recall reading that somewhere years ago). Well, that excuse ranks right up there in the intelligent department, with that beauty pagaent contestant that tried to explain why U.S. citizens were so bad with maps.
What is it with celebrities using that excuse? Eddie Murphy did that, when he picked up a transvestite prostitute at 4:00 a.m. He told the officers he just went out for a newspaper, and wanted to give her/him a ride home. At that time, I wondered why the cops didn't ask, "You don't get the paper delivered to your home?"
But, we all know celebrities do this. If you're stranded on the side of the road, they come to the rescue.
Maybe the excuse worked. Murphy's wife stayed with him another six or seven years after that.
I remember the late Doors manager Danny Sugarman (who has written a few interesting books on rock 'n roll), talked about seeing the actress that played Ginger, in a bar in L.A. He was drunk and approached her, saying something rude. She poured a drink over his head.
I'm curious if Mary-Ann's run in with the law, will affect her standing in the "Ginger or Mary Ann" question that guys all seem to ask.
I've found Mary-Ann usually gets 85% of the votes. Guys say "She's got the girl next door look." Or...my personal favorite -- "Ginger was too high maintence."
I always want to say, "It's a fictional question. And besides, if you were on Gilligan's Island, how high-maintence could she be? Are you going to have to bring her extra coconuts? Or stand there with a palm tree fawn, fanning her as she sun tans?
I always picked Ginger. And, after seeing Mary-Ann's recent mug shot....I'm sticking to it.
