“Gilligan’s Island” star Dawn Wells passed away at the age of 82 last week after suffering COVID-19 complications, according to her publicist.

Wells, who played Mary Ann Summers in the show, passed away peacefully at a residential facility in Los Angeles. Publicist Harlan Boll said in a statement that “There is so much more to Dawn Wells” than the “Gilligan’s Island” character that brought her fame.

Tina Louise, the last surviving member of the cast, portrayed movie star Ginger Grant on “Gilligan’s Island” and said in a statement to CNN, “I was sad to learn of Dawn’s passing, I will always remember her kindness to me.”

“We shared in creating a cultural landmark that has continued to bring comfort and smiles to people during this difficult time,” the statement read. “I hope that people will remember her the way that I do — always with a smile on her face.”

Debuting on CBS in 1964, “Gilligan’s Island” followed an unlikely septet of day-trippers who ended up stranded on a desert island. Mary Ann Summers was a farm girl from Kansas who had won the trip in a local radio contest. Alongside her were a science professor, an older rich couple, and other wacky characters.

Her last onscreen appearance was in a 2018 episode of “Kaplan’s Korner,” about actors running an employment agency. Her only soap opera appearance was in a 2016 episode of “The Bold and the Beautiful,” in which she played a fashion buyer from a wealthy family.

She also taught acting, creating the nonprofit Idaho Film and Television Institute while living at her ranch in the Teton Valley. But a screen career was never her childhood dream.

Dawn is survived by her stepsister, Weslee Wells.
