So, what would Mary Ann
do?
As the
sweet, polite, and thoughtful Mary Ann Summers from Kansas
in the hit series Gilligan’s Island,
Dawn Wells created an unforgettable and beloved character
that still connects with people fifty years from the show’s
debut in 1964. As the “good girl” among the group of
castaways on a tiny island, she was often positioned against
the glamorous and exotic Ginger Grant, played by Tina
Louise, prompting many to ask: Are you a Ginger or a Mary
Ann?
This
book not only helps readers answer that question for
themselves but also sends the inspirational and heartwarming
message that yes, good girls do finish first. Part
self-help, part memoir, and part humor—with a little classic
TV nostalgia for good measure—What Would Mary Ann Do?
contains twelve chapters on everything from how
Mary Ann would respond to changes in today’s culture to
addressing issues confronting single women and mothers.
Wells brings along her fellow characters from Gilligan’s Island to
illustrate certain principles, such as incorporating the
miserly Thurston Howell III (Jim Backus) in a discussion on
money. Anecdotal sidebars also describe fascinating facts
and compelling memories from the show, as well as some
trivia questions to challenge fans and followers.
Illustrated with photographs from Wells’s private
collection, this book provides inspiring lessons from TV’s
favorite good girl.
