Ginger in Gilligan's Island

Yes, that is me kneeling next to the 'Skipper'. I was in fact the very first Ginger in the original pilot for Gilligan's Island! In case you didn't know, they actually recast the roles of Ginger, Mary Ann and the Professor three times before the show was aired. However, my redheaded original role of Ginger set the stage for redhead Tina Louise to step in and portray the part once aired.
