The Doctor is gone.
Only Ginger and Mary Ann are left.

I had thought it was only Mary Ann left and both Ginger and the Professor were already gone. Everyone is getting old. And gray for some.

 

[Catatonic]

Ginger (Tina Louise) is 79 and lives in NYC.

In the article, Mary Ann was quoted........
"my two favorite people are gone now"
If the professor was one of them.........she must've been on the outs with Jim Backus, Alan Hale, Lovey or maybe Bob Denver......what did she really mean??

RIP Professor.

She didn't say the only two I liked. Everybody has favorites.

RIP Professor.

Maybe she had a life outside of Gilligan's Island associates?

Could it be the other person was not a cast member?

Also Dave Madden who played Reuben Kincaid on the Partridge Family also passed away today at the age of 82. Classic TV took a real hit today.

RIP to both.

I used to watch the Partridge Family all the time. I missed this announcement . Good comic actor.

Too busy with the David Cassidy DUI's I guess.

Without Googling (or looking at Post #12), what is the Professor's real name (on the show)?
