What choice did she have with those two airheads sitting across from her? Honestly, they are pretty worthless. Yes, one of them asks about the timeline of the book and she clearly did not bother to look at the book itself. Terrible journalism.
Agreed....She's more than Gilligan's Island....She's said it many times before. That's why she wasn't in the reunion movies. She should be able to talk about life before .... & .... after the show. To come out there at 90 years old to talk about and be interviewed about her book - and they got Skipper & Gilligan plastered across the monitor....and knowing they have only a select short amount of time to talk.....This just should have been about Tina! Talk about the book. What she's doing now, etc. F-Gilligan. It's not about that show now. It's about Tina.
@@OceanFrontVilla3 Rambling? Do you look at what you write after you type it or better yet, do you think before you type? You got the second part correct as in the way they talked down to her but there was nothing at all in what she said that sounded incoherent unless you mean you yourself don't understand English? It sounds as if English isn't your first language if you think what she was saying was gibberish. She's recounting memories from when she was 8 years old and younger which would be like 70 years ago and doing it quite eloquently.
They always interrupt on Tv interviews. They have to, because the time allotted for the interview is so short, so they have to cut ideas short to move it along. In order to allow the actor to talk nonstop to tell everything uninterrupted, they need to be interviewed in an unlimited oral history interview setting. There are oral histories on youtube with people like William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy that go on for around 5 hours.
Tina is a SURVIVOR. Bless her. It’s obvious the hosts did not read her book. They NEVER asked TINA a concrete question, like: “what do you mean you never wanted to leave your father’s house?”
ikr? very superficial questions. Tina seems to have a lot of pain which she has been silent about, and now that she's ready to TALK, she is GAGGED once again.
Because THEY wanted to talk all about Gilligan's Island (or so they thought), and Tina wasn't having it. She shut them down real quick, so when they had to talk about the book they hadn't read, they had nothing
Heard she was very self-absorbed on GI to the point of even thinking "she" was the main character! Also heard she was aloof. I liked her on GI and I certainly realize how "silly" the show really was even if a lot of it went over my head as a kid, but sorry, my main interest is about this legendary show.
I was so glad she reminded them of why she was there. We all have nostalgia for GI, and asking a few questions about the show is fine, but she was there to promote her book, a memoir, not to indulge us in memories of the show, and a wonderful show it was.
@@frankseprino8610 It may be true. I believe she said she didn't want to do GI and it seemed she was encouraged to do it thinking it would only last 6 months. Plus, coming from Broadway with Carol Burnett.
The Drama Between Tina Louise and the ‘Gilligan’s Island’ Cast is well known from day 1. She was a "Serious" actress amongst a group of .... ....she has not lost one bit of her "reputation" lol.
The two ladies that interviewed Tina stunk! They didn’t read her book. I would have had a ton of questions on her book not just the tv show . We love you Tina. Tina was great. The journalists stunk!
I'm embarrassed for these two hosts- they clearly did no preparation for the interview. The fact that the book has an audio version and the hosts didn't bother having a listen?! The subject matter is serious and so relevant today with horror stories about orphanages, boarding schools and behavioural correction camps regularly in the news. Hope this book gets better promotion.
Agree !!! As soon as the interview started you could tell the interviewers were not too skilled. Tina brought up ‘tidbits’ of info they could have asked follow up questions to , but didn’t. Tina had to prompt them to talk about the book. It’s was obvious who the seasoned pro was.
After they asked more than one question about Gilligan’s Island I was thinking, “ok you’re really pushing it,” and sure enough… 😂 I respect Tina’s honesty!
@@tima4929 Maybe so, but those questions were pretty uninspired. If they needed to squeeze in GI stuff, more interesting questions would have been appreciated.
Tina is a pop culture icon but she’s also a human being with an incredible life story. These women obviously only knew her as “Ginger” and didn’t even bother to read her book. At her age Tina is not only still so glamorous but also incredibly sharp. It took her a lifetime to finally tell her story, least they could have done was actually listen.
Agreed. I was glad that the producers saw fit to invite her on the show. We expect older culture icons to be forgotten until the day that they pass, and then have a memorial segment. Let's start bringing them on while they are alive! But yes, they could have at least had a show assistant read the book and give them a synopsis. To be fair, what got her the airtime is that she was Ginger.
To be honest, Tina’s story is hers and it is interesting. But it isnt extraordinary or very compelling or all that complex. It is important to her, sure, but she seems a bit vain about it, and the interviewers dont care about the book at all.
@@Forever.Bombshell She was a pop culture icon for three years only----and in reruns. Other than 'Gilligan's Island' she was mostly unknown from then on. Where was HER TV series? Most of her fellow cast members stayed away from her on the set because she was arrogant and rude. Being rude to cast members is one thing, but being rude to Jack Arnold and Ida Lupino is another thing entirely. They were Hollywood heavyweights! Aside from her small role in a few 'Dallas' episodes, there is not a whole lot to talk about concerning her career; however, her final scene was quite memorable for 'Dallas' fans. While trying to run away with damaging evidence against Jock and J.R. Ewing, she tripped and fell off the roof of the Ewing building!
@@Mister_Listener You could put her movie and TV highlights on a leaflet! She is no more worthy of a whole book than Jennifer Grey was. Just because you had some fame doesn't make you a 'legend' worthy of a hardcover book! Living to age 90 or even 100 doesn't change that fact.
It’s amazing how much childhood lingers on in life, bad things. some things you never get over, and Miss Louise gives proof of that. Thankyou for sharing, my respects to the lady.
One of the reasons these old vintage shows are still favorite programs is because they were clean, good, family TV . They weren't polluted with profanity laced dialog and sexual content. The producers back then respected the dignity of the homes they were invited into.
Well, back then you couldn't use profanity or sexual stuff on TV but yes, I think that's why so many people still love those shows from the earlier days of television.🙂
Amazing legend. Defied all odds and avoided the pitfalls of celebrity. The interviewers really sucked at their job. Interrupting her. Asking stupid questions. Dumb comments. Didn’t even read her book or know what it was about. Cut her off in mid-sentences. Abruptly ended the interview. Wasted a chance to honor a woman who is part of Americana. Even though they failed terribly at their job, Tina managed to tell us just enough to deliver the information about her book. Fascinating that she survived such a tragic childhood and used her experience to bring life to her iconic character. God bless Tina. ❤
Legend? i mean she did Gilligans Island, and that's about it as far as things she knows known for to the general public. You're using that word way too liberally.
I wish they would have done a longer interview with Tina Louise. Let her speak and record it. It was very interesting to hear about her life, and her being the surviving character on Gilligan's Island just made it even more interesting.
Exactly rosepetals, she's 90yo and the last survivor character of GI, she probably won't be with us much longer so just let her talk. She was beautiful then and she's still beautiful now! I hate these sound bites from these networks 🙂 Thank you Miss Tina. ❤
The host were twits!!! When they finally were forced to ask the book questions, Tina really began to open up...Then they said thanks for coming as Tina was into some life reveling moments... They should have let her talk until she decided to end the interview... MORONS!
She was so glamorous and great in her role. You'd never guess she had such a tumultuous childhood. What matters is what's inside, and I really just want to hug her!
These reporters were terrible . No in-depth questions . I bet they never read the book. Lazy journalism. Tina deserved much better ! Shame on those two worthless women ,
@@kathleensarachinsky1460 I thought the same thing - but let's face it, news people are chosen based on their looks, not their intelligence or journalistic zeal and integrity.
I hope you see this Tina I've been through a lot too. We love you so much. Sorry you got stuck on Gilligan's Island. But you and Dawn really made that show, and I was a little girl in the 1960s. Still am at heart. I will find your book and read it. You are right about bright colors.
Gilligan's Island was one of those shows that made that era great and Tina was a big part of it. Thanks , Tina...for bringing the " sultry " side of G.I. to life for everybody.
I always loved Gilligan's island..it was in syndication when i was little but still fresh..some people embrace the nostalgia..some people dont..at least i was alive when they all were still around..the show was a part of my life
Well put. She is a very underrated actor. Her three roles I’m most familiar with - on Gilligan, Stepford Wives, and Dallas - are completely different. And she’s completely convincing in all of them.
I dont disagree she was a strong actress and the camera loved her. But she had a reputation for being difficult, which probably snuffed out a lot of opportunities.
It’s so sad that even at the age of 90 it can still be so difficult to let go of all the pain and trauma that one experiences as a scared and helpless child. Never experiencing the love, warmth, and security of a loving family who will always be there to comfort and reassure you and make you feel loved and wanted.
Yup. It is permanent damage that you can never get rid of. I hate dealing with my painful childhood too, but it gets a little easier if you remain curious and meditate and stay kind.
I only realized later in life the ways sexual abuse, and other issues effected my life. I really can't complain, I'm blessed, but there are many personal regrets. I had a very rough spell for some years and have regrets over things I did in that time. They say you can heal your inner child. Maybe, maybe not for some. I try to be at peace with it all. Sometimes I do wonder how things would have turned out if things had been different, but I have 5 beautiful kids and 5 grandkids, that are my life,so can't imagine any different.
Bless you, Tina. She's the longest-living cast member (surpassing Natalie Schafer/Mrs. Howell, who passed at 90 years 5 months and 5 days back in 1991).
_' last surviving cast member'_ it's so strange to see the end of an era of something, of a group of people, of a time and place, no one or no thing is exempt. I loved this show as a kid and back then it seemed like times and things would last forever. With so many in my life and family now gone as well, that line 'last surviving cast member' stood out
TIna Louise is a LEGEND! She looks FANTASTIC! I fell in love with her as a young boy, lusted as I got older, but when I finally grew up, just loved her for who she is ( a multi talented performer / icon). Many continued Blessings to Tina and her family!
She was so beautiful on Gilligan's Island. 90 Years Old. Most of us probably won't make it that long but she is holding on. Her mind seems very clear. Many people living today have no idea who she is or what a star she is and was. I hope she lives many more years with good health. I will always remember her.
I will look for this memoir. She owned her role as Ginger. Belongs to the inclusive group of 90 yr old entertainers who are still here. Carol Burnett still continues to work at 93. G Island was on our TV every day after school. I know that growing up in the 30s & 40s was rough. My parents were children in 1934 and would be in their late 90s if they were still here. Thanks Tina for sharing.
Tina believe it or not I had not seen you in decades. It is so good and endearing to finally see you in the flesh. You look really good. You also sound really good. Thank you again for letting us see you. 🧡
@@RA82828 thats what i think too. People love Gilligan’s Island. But. Nobody cares about the woman’s struggles, which dont seem too extraordinary. Unfortunately, she was in the role of Ginger and it typecast her. Thats been the case for Tina’s entire career, even though she was talented and skilled and beautiful.
I like bright colours too dear lady! Gosh, I remember watching that show as a kid in the 70’s, with Leave it to Beaver and I Dream of Jeannie. Good times!
The host were twits!!! When they finally were forced to ask the book questions, Tina really began to open up...Then they said thanks for coming as Tina was into some life reveling moments... They should have let her talk until she decided to end the interview... MORONS!
It's sad you do a sitcom you didn't care about, not what you want to be associated with as an actress. Then you have to talk about it for the rest of your life.
She is a legend and it sounds like she suffered some trauma at that boarding school. Would like to hear more and I would never send my kids to any boarding school, they just seem so shady as to what really goes on there. Thanks Tina. WIll look for this audiobook.
Not only the boarding school, but you wonder with her beauty and youthful body, did she have to deal with those sleazebags and their casting couches in Hollywood. Something Hollywood would never admit to. Tina Louise had far more brains than Hollywood.
Dear Tina.....my heart went out to you as you briefly described your childhood....It felt like you were never truly HEARD as a young child and girl growing up. Even the hosts breezed by it too quickly. I understand the focus will always be Gilligan's Island, which was a wonderful memory for me growing up. a fantasy...a safe place. I HOPE and PRAY, people will take the time to hear about YOU now. I'd like to read your book. I think there are many chapters to you...and layers un-touched. May God be with you today, and bring you peace and His love. xoxo
I grew up watching Gilligan's Island and loved it! I'm going to watch it again after seeing this! Ginger was definitely a favorite!! She's amazing at 90 to look and present herself so well!
With all due respect, you screwed up this interview. You should have known (or should have been told) Tina is the most reluctant of all members of the cast to revel in nostalgia about “Gilligan’s Island,” and at 90 (!) she didn’t go on TV to promote a memoir about her childhood only to be asked the same questions about the show 57 years later. (My reply has been edited to correct my error in believing this interview aired on Channel 11 in Los Angeles rather than Channel 11 in New York. In a direct reply to Janet Kriegl, I explain why I believe my mistake actually didn’t matter.)
The host were twits!!! When they finally were forced to ask the book questions, Tina really began to open up...Then they said thanks for coming as Tina was into some life reveling moments... They should have let her talk until she decided to end the interview... MORONS!
Tina Louise is always beautiful. She has an interesting filmography, and is one helluva great writer. I may be a pup, but i know a class act when i see one, and she is IT. A remarkable lady, a remarkable life. 🇨🇦❤
Awkward. The hosts didn’t know what to do with this interview. These vapid questions that people could never answer with a yes, “did you think this show would have a lasting impact?”Then not asking for context. Tina gave no context to why she was not with her mother and lived with these people. And they didn’t know how to respond to what she was saying. This was a train wreck.
Glad Tina wrote this book to tell her story. It was really moving to hear about her early childhood. We only know her from her role as Ginger. She is still so beautiful.
I had all my foster kids grow up watching the show. Last month one of the girls was home alone with a new baby and she has the series with her right now.
Grew up watching Gillian’s island, I love Lucy & Brady Bunch too! Loved watching Gillian’s Island, I still watch to this day! Start with season one pilot to very last episode! Never get tired, family & friends make fun of me cause I still watch it. But they do it with love! It just takes me to a happier time and the stress of the world goes away for a little while! It’s just better than what’s on currently.
Tina Louise is a television legend. She has outlived the entire cast and producers writers and directors of the show! Ironic how it all worked out. You have to give her credit she wasn't a stupid lady. I didn't see the show until it was in syndication and even though I was a very young boy no one could deny that she and Mary Ann were the reason most watched that show. Denvers character was a bumbling fool be he and Hale were as good together as any great comedy duo. Those were the days when shows were made for entertainment purposes. And even if they became slightly political, the message of entertainment always came first and never got lost. Tina Louise is 90 years and still has her mind! We should all be that lucky someday.
Tina! I met you in Saint Croix about 14 years ago. You were reading books to children! I didn't have grandkids and was so unable to afford your book but today I can do both. I wish I had your autographed book but at least I heard you read it. YOU matter.
Tina Louise is 90. Everyone should be that put together and articulate at 90. We love you Ginger!
Yes, she’s wonderful!
She at that age is more articulate than many US college students.
Thank you she gave me great advice ..
@@AntonioBarsanioYou mean Biden, 😜.
@@AntonioBarsanio 😂 and just think, biden is allowing YOU to now help pay for those college kids loans.
I love how she took command of the interview and said, “I’d like to talk about the book.”

Yes, one of them asks about the timeline of the book and she clearly did not bother to look at the book itself. Terrible journalism.
Right, because they weren't going to go into the book that they brought up...

I always loved Gilligan's island..it was in syndication when i was little but still fresh..some people embrace the nostalgia..some people dont..at least i was alive when they all were still around..the show was a part of my life
Just bought it on audible. She has such a lovely voice I can't wait to hear the story in her own voice. Amazing! And she is still so beautiful!
Always liked Tina. Fantastic actor. Totally inhabited every role she ever played.
Well put. She is a very underrated actor. Her three roles I’m most familiar with - on Gilligan, Stepford Wives, and Dallas - are completely different. And she’s completely convincing in all of them.
I dont disagree she was a strong actress and the camera loved her. But she had a reputation for being difficult, which probably snuffed out a lot of opportunities.
@@Mister_Listener The fussbudget act is certainly not uncommon in Hollywood. Thankfully we didn't see that part on screen.
It’s so sad that even at the age of 90 it can still be so difficult to let go of all the pain and trauma that one experiences as a scared and helpless child. Never experiencing the love, warmth, and security of a loving family who will always be there to comfort and reassure you and make you feel loved and wanted.
Yup. It is permanent damage that you can never get rid of. I hate dealing with my painful childhood too, but it gets a little easier if you remain curious and meditate and stay kind.
@@Mister_Listener It's ingrained in the brain. It never goes away. I still have haunting memories at 66 and both parents are gone.
@@athena3865 i am sorry to hear about what you go thru. You were robbed.
I only realized later in life the ways sexual abuse, and other issues effected my life. I really can't complain, I'm blessed, but there are many personal regrets. I had a very rough spell for some years and have regrets over things I did in that time. They say you can heal your inner child. Maybe, maybe not for some. I try to be at peace with it all. Sometimes I do wonder how things would have turned out if things had been different, but I have 5 beautiful kids and 5 grandkids, that are my life,so can't imagine any different.
Her voice sounds young! She looks great!
This lady is TV royalty....for all of us of a certain age. Shame on GMA, TODAY and CBS This Morning for not getting this interview.
90 years old!
It is nice to see Tina. She is a wonderful person and a very good actress.
Bless you, Tina. She's the longest-living cast member (surpassing Natalie Schafer/Mrs. Howell, who passed at 90 years 5 months and 5 days back in 1991).
I love your enthusiasm about Tina Louise. Some people say negative things about her but you always have something nice to say about her.
We miss Lovie.
a truly useless FACTOID
@@gregrak9389 Hey I didn't know that and I watched Gilligan's Island as a kid.
@@gregrak9389 But true just the same.
_' last surviving cast member'_ it's so strange to see the end of an era of something, of a group of people, of a time and place, no one or no thing is exempt. I loved this show as a kid and back then it seemed like times and things would last forever. With so many in my life and family now gone as well, that line 'last surviving cast member' stood out
TIna Louise is a LEGEND! She looks FANTASTIC! I fell in love with her as a young boy, lusted as I got older, but when I finally grew up, just loved her for who she is ( a multi talented performer / icon). Many continued Blessings to Tina and her family!
She was so beautiful on Gilligan's Island. 90 Years Old. Most of us probably won't make it that long but she is holding on. Her mind seems very clear. Many people living today have no idea who she is or what a star she is and was. I hope she lives many more years with good health. I will always remember her.
I will look for this memoir. She owned her role as Ginger. Belongs to the inclusive group of 90 yr old entertainers who are still here. Carol Burnett still continues to work at 93. G Island was on our TV every day after school. I know that growing up in the 30s & 40s was rough. My parents were children in 1934 and would be in their late 90s if they were still here. Thanks Tina for sharing.
Barbra Eden, Marla Gibbs.. there are many still living! My aunt is 96. My dad is 91. Age is a number
Sadly, the book is under 50 pages. I definitely would have liked to read more about her story.
Dick Van Dyke still dancing and singing at 98!!!👏👏👏
Tina believe it or not I had not seen you in decades. It is so good and endearing to finally see you in the flesh. You look really good. You also sound really good. Thank you again for letting us see you. 🧡
It's just a 3 hour tour. She looks great . Im glad she redirected the interview
Well more youtubers should interview her about her book. Give her a good hour
@@RA82828 thats what i think too. People love Gilligan’s Island. But. Nobody cares about the woman’s struggles, which dont seem too extraordinary. Unfortunately, she was in the role of Ginger and it typecast her. Thats been the case for Tina’s entire career, even though she was talented and skilled and beautiful.
I like bright colours too dear lady! Gosh, I remember watching that show as a kid in the 70’s, with Leave it to Beaver and I Dream of Jeannie. Good times!
The interviews are ill prepared for this interview.
They are truly awful
@@PandoraJonesmodelFacts. Smh
You can tell she really wanted to talk more about her book
she was GAGGED yet again. Maybe they were afraid she would reveal too much hollywood pedoism?
I loved watching that show on reruns after school 😊as a kid.
She looks really good and it's nice to see her.
They cut her off. She wanted to keep talking about her book and I wanted to listen. They didn't seem that terribly interested in her.
This very point!
The host were twits!!! When they finally were forced to ask the book questions, Tina really began to open up...Then they said thanks for coming as Tina was into some life reveling moments... They should have let her talk until she decided to end the interview... MORONS!
@@robraleigh8614 Plus they ran out of time!🏝🛥🥥🛖
She just wanted to keep playing the victim
Hope she has more interviews would like to hear talk about it more....I loved watching her on GI,still a beautiful person, Thank u Tina❤
She sounds great - her voice is so youthful sounding 🙂🙂🙂
My favorite interview for the summer. So glad to see Tina doing well. What a lady!
Tina has been one of my heroes since I was a kid. I idolized her then and I still idolize her to this day!! Wonderful lady, she is.
She's deserving of a much richer interview than that, oh my goodness, I love how she said " I want to talk about my book"
She needs to accept that Gilligan's Island is the reason she's sitting on that couch.
It's sad you do a sitcom you didn't care about, not what you want to be associated with as an actress. Then you have to talk about it for the rest of your life.
One of the most beautiful women in the world. She played her part exquisitely. Fabulous!!! ❤ Tina!!
Love you Tina Louise , you where great on Gilligan's Island. loved that show as a young man in the 70's.
She is still lovely. The last of the cast. A treasure. This is an important topic.
She is a legend and it sounds like she suffered some trauma at that boarding school. Would like to hear more and I would never send my kids to any boarding school, they just seem so shady as to what really goes on there. Thanks Tina. WIll look for this audiobook.
Not only the boarding school, but you wonder with her
beauty and youthful body, did she have to deal with
those sleazebags and their casting couches in
Hollywood. Something Hollywood would never admit
to. Tina Louise had far more brains than Hollywood.
@@tomodonovan5931you’re pretending that people dont use sex to get ahead in their careers? Why?
Dear Tina.....my heart went out to you as you briefly described your childhood....It felt like you were never truly HEARD as a young child and girl growing up. Even the hosts breezed by it too quickly. I understand the focus will always be Gilligan's Island, which was a wonderful memory for me growing up. a fantasy...a safe place. I HOPE and PRAY, people will take the time to hear about YOU now. I'd like to read your book. I think there are many chapters to you...and layers un-touched. May God be with you today, and bring you peace and His love. xoxo
Amazing, beautiful, talented Tina Louise! ❤
Thank you Tina, for bringing some laughter into my life. I wish you well with your book 🎉
Still has great bone structure. Stunning for 90 and so sharp, amazing.
She's a sweet heart. God bless her...🧡🧡🧡
She always tries to distance herself from Gilligan's Island. Regardless of her excellent acting skills, it is for this show she will be immortalized.
She looks great! Such a big part of my childhood
Tina looks great, her speaking voice is pure magic.
I grew up watching Gilligan's Island and loved it! I'm going to watch it again after seeing this! Ginger was definitely a favorite!! She's amazing at 90 to look and present herself so well!
WOW! My favorite all time show! I’m will be 68 in October
I love that show!! Ginger was always soooo pretty!!!
Tina was the greatest!
She so beautiful ❤️❤️❤️ love everything 💖😍💖 she paid her due 💅 congratulations 👏❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
With all due respect, you screwed up this interview.
You should have known (or should have been told) Tina is the most reluctant of all members of the cast to revel in nostalgia about “Gilligan’s Island,” and at 90 (!) she didn’t go on TV to promote a memoir about her childhood only to be asked the same questions about the show 57 years later.
(My reply has been edited to correct my error in believing this interview aired on Channel 11 in Los Angeles rather than Channel 11 in New York. In a direct reply to Janet Kriegl, I explain why I believe my mistake actually didn’t matter.)
Exactly, a little research goes a long way. Tina was gracious but imagine being asked those exact same questions for decades.
This is a New York show. Not quite sure what you meant by "on-air in Los Angeles"?
A beautiful n true legend ❤
The host were twits!!! When they finally were forced to ask the book questions, Tina really began to open up...Then they said thanks for coming as Tina was into some life reveling moments... They should have let her talk until she decided to end the interview... MORONS!
@@janetkriegl6720 That is REALLY irrelevant
She's coherent and gets around. Good for her!
I want an in-depth interview with Ms. Louise… and 90 certainly is the new 70!
Then have her go on Howard Stern. He will do an in-depth for 2-3 hours and not 5 min like they did here.
Well let’s hope she does a small book tour and more tv interviews!! We will probably see her interviewed again about it somewhere very soon. I hope!!
What a lovely, lovely lady. Can't wait to purchase her book.
Tina Louise is always beautiful. She has an interesting filmography, and is one helluva great writer. I may be a pup, but i know a class act when i see one, and she is IT. A remarkable lady, a remarkable life. 🇨🇦❤
I wish she would've had a longer run on the show, Dallas!
You are great tina!
She looks amazing
Awkward. The hosts didn’t know what to do with this interview. These vapid questions that people could never answer with a yes, “did you think this show would have a lasting impact?”Then not asking for context. Tina gave no context to why she was not with her mother and lived with these people. And they didn’t know how to respond to what she was saying. This was a train wreck.
Love you, Tina Louise. So good to see you’re doing well. God bless you ❤
She has gone through so much and yet, came out a survivor! 🌹 She is a strong lady and still so very beautiful. ❤🎉🎉 God bless you, always! 🙏🙏🙏😅
s!
I am so happy to see her going strong at 90. God bless the one and only Tina Louise, forever Ginger
Glad Tina wrote this book to tell her story. It was really moving to hear about her early childhood. We only know her from her role as Ginger. She is still so beautiful.
I had all my foster kids grow up watching the show. Last month one of the girls was home alone with a new baby and she has the series with her right now.
Such an amazing woman and so beautiful!! ❤
Grew up watching Gillian’s island, I love Lucy & Brady Bunch too! Loved watching Gillian’s Island, I still watch to this day! Start with season one pilot to very last episode! Never get tired, family & friends make fun of me cause I still watch it. But they do it with love!
It just takes me to a happier time and the stress of the world goes away for a little while! It’s just better than what’s on currently.
She looks so good for 90 and talks like she is much younger.
Thank you Tina! YOUR EYES ARE WONDERFULLY BEAUTIFUL AS THEY WERE WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG
I noticed the same thing. Her eyes wow!!
Both Ginger and Mary Ann were great on the show. Loved Gillians's Island
You go girl! Stand up for yourself. Mainly, I wanted to talk about the book. Awesome.
Tina Louise is a television legend. She has outlived the entire cast and producers writers and directors of the show! Ironic how it all worked out. You have to give her credit she wasn't a stupid lady. I didn't see the show until it was in syndication and even though I was a very young boy no one could deny that she and Mary Ann were the reason most watched that show. Denvers character was a bumbling fool be he and Hale were as good together as any great comedy duo. Those were the days when shows were made for entertainment purposes. And even if they became slightly political, the message of entertainment always came first and never got lost. Tina Louise is 90 years and still has her mind! We should all be that lucky someday.
Let's not get carried away. She didn't even like the role that made her famous
@@jimgustafson2422😂
My comment to you seems to have been deleted, by TH-cam. I've been "reported," by some liber@l loon. Now I seem to be on their watch list.
Legend is a term loosely used today. Here is proof.
Tina! I met you in Saint Croix about 14 years ago. You were reading books to children! I didn't have grandkids and was so unable to afford your book but today I can do both. I wish I had your autographed book but at least I heard you read it. YOU matter.
I love Ginger!!!
