Russell Johnson passed away this morning at the age of 89 according to his co-star,
Dawn Wells. Johnson, was best known at The Professor stuck on Gilligan’s Island. Even though he had a long career, it was this role that people of all ages since 1964 have fallen in love with him over.
Earlier today, TV Land announced that Gilligan’s Island is rejoining their lineup on Monday, so make sure to watch at least one episode during the 12 hour marathon that starts at 9a, to keep his spirit alive. And maybe have some coconut pie while you watch him try to invent different things that will help them get off the Island, but none of those things ever seem to work.
