‘Gilligan’s Island’ star Dawn Wells asks fans to help pay $180K debt


“Gilligan’s Island” star Dawn Wells, who was known for her iconic role as Mary Ann Summers on the popular series, is reportedly seeking financial help from her fans.

TMZ reported the former “Gilligan’s” star is seeking almost $200,000 from fans through a GoFundMe page created by a close friend.

The actress is allegedly “desperate” for the funds following an “unexpected accident that required hospitalization for two months,” according to the GoFundMe page biography.

Wells’ friend told TMZ that in the accident, the actress broke her knee and is in the process of recovering from complications she suffered from a surgery to repair her injury.

The fundraising page details that the actress has been dealing with financial struggles since the 2008 recession and now needs “$194,000 to alleviate penalties by the IRS (which are compounded daily) and to pay her hospital costs.”

TMZ also reported that the actress wants to be moved to a smaller assisted living facility that is geared towards helping those in the film and TV industry but she was denied due to her debt.


The friend also added that Wells has no family to support her through this time and the star has already lost her home.
