Didn't it always seem that Mary Ann, the "All-American girl" on the classic sitcom "Gilligan's Island" was just so perpetually cheery and perky that you wanted to choke her sometimes?
Perhaps she had a little help maintaining that chipper mood.
The 69-year-old actress made famous for that role- Dawn Wells- was recently cited for having a stash of marijuana in her vehicle. Although her lawyer claims that a "friend" inadvertently left the offending illegal substance in Wells's car (did she borrow that one from Lindsay Lohan?), the authorities were not so convinced that her uneven driving that evening was due to her fiddling with some knobs on her dashboard.
Not to worry, though! Our dear little castaway won't be put in the clinker with Big Bertha as a cell mate, but got six months probation and a modest $410.50 fine . They dropped DUI charges and two other counts and she took a guilty plea for reckless driving.
All I can say is- now we all know why she was traipsing around that deserted desert isle wearing that glassy-eyed expression!
Wonder if Gilligan was hiding behind the hut toking up a few doobies, too? That would finally explain his spastic behavior, wouldn't it?
