I prefer Mary, played by Dawn Wells who was born in 1938 and is still alive, oh lucky me. I had to Google this.
Way Before My Time
When I heard you, @holovision, ask this question, Ginger or Mary Ann, my first thought was Gilligan's Island which I've seen bits and pieces of but mind you, that is way before my time since I was born in 1985, So, I Googled all of this just to double-check to see how accurate my pop-culture memory was.
Anne of Green Gables
Oh, Tina Louise, born 1984, is still alive too. Ginger was pretty for a red head. But red heads are not always my favorite kind of lady apart from Anne of Green Gables.
