I once was asked by Tina Louise to help her with a stubborn gas pump as she was trying to fill-up her Ford Mustang at a station directly across from the Whiskey A GO GO on Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood. I had remembered seeing her at the Church on the Way in Van Nuys on several Sunday services. She truly hit the nail on the head when she said that the real purpose of life is to serve others. Just by listening to her speak in this interview you can see that she has gained true peace and a sense of purpose. Tina has such a caring and loving spirit.
Oh please. She didn’t do the Gillian’s Island movie because they wouldn’t “pay her what she is worth”. She wouldn’t speak with the other cast members while doing the original show and she is still trying to portray herself as something other than what she is. Serve others? She has wasted her life being resentful about what success God gave her.
@@angelaloof852 Most likely feels burned by the show because they weren't paid that much to do Gillian's Island in the first place, plus the fact that they are NOT paid one dime in residuals each time the show is rerun hundreds (if not thousands) of times a year all over the world (they get NOTHING). I would be upset too
It's not the past that important it's the present pray 🙏 Tina is helping others 🙏 and getting on in life and looks like attending church service s🙏 God Bless 🙌 her 🙏
Great interview. Tina Louise seems like an intelligent, well-educated, honest and kind person. This should get a lot more views! She was also great as Ginger from Gilligan's Island. I don't know what other actress could play her any better than Louise.
She started on Broadway where you have to be able to do it all. Because they're both movie stars people assume Tina was just playing herself on GI but as Russel Johnson said in his book, "...that's not Tina up there, that's Ginger Grant...Tina's a damn good actress and we were lucky to have her in our cast."
I loved this. I loved her on Gilligan's Island .I was a kid when it was on and saw lots of re-runs .Ginger was my favorite and she was smart and sexy. It was only a small part of her acting life .She had a small yet important part in the film The Stepford Wives.. I'm glad she has her children's books and working with kids .She seems passionate about it.
I think she's always wanted her life to count for more than just this one character, "Ginger", and with her teaching I think she's realized that desire.
I always enjoyed watching John Palmer, first as the news guy on the Today Show then he had a history show and interview shows. He was down to earth and authentic. Seemed to really be interested in people and ‘the big picture’.
I've looked at some interview videos going back decades and in my opinion she hasn't physically changed never gained anyway same bone structure she doesn't look like she's had any plastic surgery. Speaks with such clarity and thought. Can we put it down to just being happy and content with life?
❤i love and hughly respect🌹 Tina. I lived in nyc and left my hometown of Lancaster, pa. To follow my dream and heart to become famous and help people with my money. Unfortunately i was mygged and left for dead near Madison square garden one night when i went to go see rod stewart in 1982. I never made it They said at hospital i am a miracle to be alive , they first could not get a pulse and were going to tag me as a jane doe since i was badly beaten and robbed of my purse. God has a reason and purpose for us all on this journey. To help one another. Tina Louise is such an inspiration to me. I wish her thee very best in life and to always be happy. God love and bless Her, 🤣🌹💖😇🙏⭐❤️
Love Tina-Gilligan’s Island was over fifteen years into reruns when I came to love the show. I mean, she was insanely sexy. Let’s just face the fact. If she were born ugly … come on. She is definitely more talented than the “Ginger” role, but how many working actors and actresses will ever achieve an iconic, enduring fame for anything, for any part? How many actors will make a lasting impression? Few. I think it’s pretty amazing that she can claim fame as “Ginger” from Gilligan’s Island and also claim she is one of the original Stepford Wives. Those are two iconic, cultural roles/touchstones-she has two. Most actors don’t even get one memorable role. She was also a guest cast member of the TV classic, ‘Dallas,’ so … things could have been worse for her. Her volunteerism for literacy is pretty awesome. I can speak from experience: that is not work for wallflowers. It’s not glamorous. It’s trench-work, but you have to be have both a good heart and some attitude to do it. That alone indicates that she is not some shallow being. This interview is not the greatest-the guy seems lower-tier, and could have asked her pointed questions about all the major stars she worked with in the old days. But she’s the last castaway. I think she could deservedly write a final piece or book explicitly called “The Last Castaway”. Losing Maryann was tough enough! Anybody who has a clue loves Tina Louise-sexy, likable, gifted lady from a time long-gone but not forgotten.
I've said before that there are actors who, in their day were huge stars but today few remember them because they never had that one role that put them into the public conscience. Tina Louise is a fine actress, capable of much more than Sex and Glamour and she's proved that in other productions but in the end she will be remembered as "Ginger Grant, the movie star" and put up against being remembered for nothing I think she'd take Ginger any day.
Anyone who has a clue will realize that all she has tried to do is remove herself from the Gillian association. You can’t see that because all you see is her big boobs.
I can’t see different actors playing ‘Gilligan’, ‘The Skipper’, ‘The Millionaire’, and ‘His Wife’, ‘The Movie Star’, ‘The Professor’ and ‘Mary Ann’ in “Gilligan’s Island”.
Sad how she treats Gillian’s Island as a footnote in her career. Without her role on Gillian’s Island this interview would not be happening and nobody would know her name.
it was three years of her life. Imagine you had a job for such a short time, then went on to other, more fulfilling work over many years and yet all anyone wants you to talk about is that small period of your life. She's wanted her life and career to amount to more than a silly sitcom that's been heavily panned since day one. What's unappreciative about that?
She was always putting the character of Ginger behind , She always goes around the questions and to say she never went to the reunions because she had a child , really … why not just admit she wanted nothing to do with Ginger
She accepted the role. She stayed on the show. And she's been bitter ever since because of her choices. So bitter, she can't see that, Ginger, became a beloved character.
When he calls her place of residence her “Fantasy Island”, it was a bit cringe. She had already had 40 years of typecasting up until this interview. Give her a break.
I don't hate Tina. I'm just pissed that my idolization of her role as Ginger is the thing she hates the most. It's the only thing that brought her fame and she treats it like it's a pile of poo.

You know who used to work at that gas station across from the Whiskey A GO GO before he got his big break in Hollywood: actor Ray Milland

She was also great as Ginger from Gilligan's Island. I don't know what other actress could play her any better than Louise.
I love her. What an intelligent and beautiful soul.
I love Tina Louise
Tina Louise is the only surviving cast member from Gilligan's Island.
@@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hc Now the oldest living and the longest lived.
@@Garsons-oq4lhTina Louise had said that being on Gilligan's Island ruined her movie career
One of the prettiest women to come out of Hollywood and smart she would be in my top ten most beautiful women
Thank you beautiful and talented Tina for all the great work that you did and do.
What a beautiful lady! Really appreciate her now
She was not only beautiful, she was talented. I realize that now when I watch the Gilligan's Island reruns...she could act sexy, sing and dance.
She started on Broadway where you have to be able to do it all. Because they're both movie stars people assume Tina was just playing herself on GI but as Russel Johnson said in his book, "...that's not Tina up there, that's Ginger Grant...Tina's a damn good actress and we were lucky to have her in our cast."
A sophisticated lady good interview

In her prime she was the most beautiful woman on T V
Yes, she was.
Was she ever! ❤️🌹
Very lovely interview.
Tina Louise is a brilliant and super talented woman, as well as beautiful. But, I still feel she distances herself from Gilligan’s Island❤
She's 73 in this interview ! SHIT ! Boy-oh-boy had she aged well ! "I'm even a little jealous myself McMahon!"
Now, Tina Louise is 90 years old.
I always enjoyed watching John Palmer, first as the news guy on the Today Show then he had a history show and interview shows. He was down to earth and authentic. Seemed to really be interested in people and ‘the big picture’.
She looked great in 2007.
She aged ridiculously well
I've looked at some interview videos going back decades and in my opinion she hasn't physically changed never gained anyway same bone structure she doesn't look like she's had any plastic surgery. Speaks with such clarity and thought.
Can we put it down to just being happy and content with life?

it is one of the most perfectly cast shows ever. They all had tremendous chemistry.
Everyone should see God's little acre, great film, also has Micheal Landon as an albino.
Wanted to hear more about Gilligan’s Island
What more could there possibly be to say about the show that hasn't already been said huh?
♥️
Sad how she treats Gillian’s Island as a footnote in her career. Without her role on Gillian’s Island this interview would not be happening and nobody would know her name.
❤👍💕🥰
It’s sad that she couldn’t appreciate what she was given. Now she is rewriting history. She is desperate to be seen differently than she is.
it was three years of her life. Imagine you had a job for such a short time, then went on to other, more fulfilling work over many years and yet all anyone wants you to talk about is that small period of your life. She's wanted her life and career to amount to more than a silly sitcom that's been heavily panned since day one. What's unappreciative about that?

She accepted the role. She stayed on the show. And she's been bitter ever since because of her choices. So bitter, she can't see that, Ginger, became a beloved character.
She wanted too much money to do the reunion movie
@@CJR-lx4el So right, insted of inbracing the charicter . She whanted to not be rememberd of it.
Nobody liked her in the cast , she had a huge ego , she wanted to be the star of the show , and didn’t want to share the spotlight
Seeing her, does that mean someday too i will lose my attractive good looks?,...say it aint so...
When he calls her place of residence her “Fantasy Island”, it was a bit cringe. She had already had 40 years of typecasting up until this interview. Give her a break.
You can tell she cringes every time she gets asked about Ginger.
She never REALLY wanted to do the show in the first place, and thought it would last only 6 months
I don't hate Tina. I'm just pissed that my idolization of her role as Ginger is the thing she hates the most. It's the only thing that brought her fame and she treats it like it's a pile of poo.
I saw her on Stern's show, she was so boring!
She's very articulate and pleasant here. Only talks about herself, of course. What happened on the Stern show?
Trolling is a fun game for you.
Howard Stern is self absorbed and boring.

What!?
