Dawn Wells’ Memoir
EVERYONE knows Dawn Wells best as Gilligan’s Island‘s Mary Ann. That’s probably why she titled her memoir, What Would Mary Ann Do?. Throughout the book, there are self-help sections but also a lot of stories about her experiences on set. Oh, the book is actually written from Mary Ann’s point of view.
