Back on in the mid-’60s, actresses were not allowed to show a lot of skin. As in their belly buttons and cleavage. For Gilligan’s Island, the producers had to work very hard on that. Dawn Wells told Inside Edition that her short shorts had to be high enough to cover her belly button and Tina Louise’s dresses could not be low enough to show her cleavage. Not an easy thing to if you are walking around on an island. But somehow they made it work.
The interview was not only about her sitcom, but it was also about her recent money woes. She says that a large chunk of her debt is from back taxes along with medical costs. What did the actress think of her friend starting a GoFundMe page for her? At first, she was not happy because she feels there are people who are worse off than her. Since then, she has come to terms with it because of all of the lovely things were written to her because of it.
Now that she has her money, hopefully, she will be able to get her life together.
