Miss Wells was from Nevada. N’uff said. Winner.
Dawn Wells was Miss Nevada 1959. A gen-yu-wine beauty queen! 
I fear I must ask, pray tell, what was her talent?
(Remember the episode where she was conked on the head and thought she was Ginger, the girl could not sing or dance)
Which husband was her favourite?
Who cares? 
That was Gilligan’s doing. Bob Denver’s contract specified that, as the lead, he could decide where his name came in the credits. He told the producers that, if they didn’t properly credit the Professor and Mary Ann, he wanted his own name to be nowhere in the credits.
The way I heard it, Bob wanted his name moved to the end of the credits. Whatever his demand was, it helped that they were being reshot anyway because of the switch from B&W to color. He also insisted that no one should know he had gone to bat for Dawn and Russell, and it wasn’t until years later that they found out.
Tina Louise got higher billing than Dawn because she was already more of an established actress. My mother (who would diss any beautiful woman other than Elizabeth Taylor) didn’t care for Tina because “She always tries to sound like Marilyn Monroe.” 
Tina agreed to do the series only because her agent told her it was about a movie star stranded on a desert island. She was peeved when she learned she wouldn’t be the focus of attention, and her bad feelings were one reason she never returned for any of the TV movies.
He also played a murderer pretending to help the police in an episode of Ironside. He gave himself away by putting peanuts in a bottle of Coke he was drinking.
This comes from Google AI. Take it for what it’s worth.
For her talent competition, she performed dramatic readings, including a scene from Shakespeare and a piece from “Our Town” at the state level, and “Rosen from Azure Like It” at the national pageant
(Azure Like It was a book by Wendy Holden) Wells’ biography says she wanted to dance ballet but suffered a knee injury.
This was Mrs Howell’s talent in the Castaways’ beauty pageant. She tried to recite Longfellow’s “Paul Revere’s Ride” but was heckled by Gilligan, the Skipper, and the Professor.
I have to say the Girls of the Island and their “Honey Bees” performance was outstanding.
The coconuts were too small to plug the hole. Prof. Hinckley had blind spots in his creativity.
Oh, that Roy.
I sometimes wondered if was he partaking some coconut wine he fermented in one of those caves. Often he gets a look at of weirdness come across his face.. Kinda wild man like.
I recall seeing Bob Denver appearing on an episode of some other show where he had a line something like: “I used to know a guy who was so smart he could figure out how to make a nuclear reactor out of coconuts but couldn’t figure out how to fix a hole in a boat.”
It actually takes a bit of talent to sing that badly on purpose!
We actually saw her perform live, in a travelling version of Chapter 2, back in the 1980s. No singing was involved. Acting was perfectly competent.
That was the movie Back to the Beach, a 1987 send-up of the Anette Funicello/Frankie Avalon Beach movies of the 1960s, and much else besides.
And then she divorced said architect, after realizing how incompetent he was, in designing a house w/ one bathroom for nine people and no toilet.
Without a sewer system. No less.
Oh I dunno. His house has two floors on the inside, but only one on the outside. I’d say that’s pretty good. Maybe it extended into 4 dimensions.
