I prefer the new Agent 99: http://www.aolcdn.com/photogalleryassets/moviefoneuk/990708/anne-hathaway-410-031011.jpg
I just always have to go with the character archetype. Ginger would only be with me to try to get something out of me. If Maryann acts like she likes me, I know it’s real.
Plus, I prefer slightly insecure to highly confident. I can have friends that are the latter, but I can only get close to the former.
Why choose?
Do both.
I prefer Mary Ann, but I feel like giving props to Ginger just because she always comes off badly in polls like this. Ginger really was an attractive woman, it was just her misfortune to be cast alongside another woman who was equally cute and written with a more appealing personality.
at the risk of being whoooooshed, Who is Opal?
MaryAnn for the win.
The Mosquitos figured that the Honeybees were too much competition and so left them stranded. Not Gilligan’s fault at all!
That episode was a great early life lesson for me. Always bring a Music Minus One record if you’re going to go on a three-hour tour! You’ll never know when you might need it.
Much to her chagrin, OpalCat MUST be the third item on any list on the SDMB
Wiki’s Gilligan’s Island entry has a note on this very topic:
Also, it seems like whenever I read a “celebrity encounters” thread, Tina Louise is mentioned as being… not very nice.
No, the ultimate 60’s TV woman is Emma Peel
Worthy choice, but much like I prefer Maryann, I prefer Laure Petrie in this case. MtM was beautiful, sexy and cute all at once. But Emma was super sexy for sure.
My eyes! The goggles - they do nothing!
Ginger would be great for like a night. Mary Ann would be much better for the long haul.
No, sorry. The ultimate 60’s TV woman is Samantha Stevens.
No, that’s Mary Jane.
This. Also, you know, redhead vs. brunette. Like if Elizabeth Taylor were a redhead, if the fabric of the cosmos could bear that.
Julie Newmar as Catwoman.
Fortunately, in one episode the Professor demonstrated his ability to make rubber.
Yvonne Craig as Batgirl.
I’d go with Betty . . . but I’ d be thinking of Wilma.
But it’s just a fantasy.
We both know she’d never leave Fred.
Dear Lovey (or “Wangworker Wentworth,” as noted in several of her yearbooks) was indeed the hottest hootchie in the Hamptons back in the day, as every Yale crew team from 1914 through 1963 can attest (and don’t get me started about the Vassar field-hockey squad).
