Tina Louise, who rose to fame playing movie star Ginger Grant in the hit TV comedy Gilligan’s Island, went on to have a long Hollywood career long after the series ended in 1967.
The actress, who most recently appeared in the 2019 film Tapestry alongside Stephen Baldwin, is also a singer and an author. In 2024, she rereleased her 1997 memoir Sunday and debuted an accompanying audiobook.
“I’ve been very fortunate to do all the jobs I’ve done,” she told Closer in October 2024, “but I’m proudest and most grateful to have my daughter. She says I have to take care of myself so I can live another 40 years.”
