Tina Louise became very famous overnight when she played Ginger on the TV show Gilligan’s Island. She was praised for her looks more than her acting.
Today, she’s the only living cast member from Gilligan’s Island. She’s 89 but looks much younger.
Tina was born in New York City on February 11, 1934. Her parents split when she was four, making her childhood tough.
She didn’t plan to work in entertainment but changed her mind after seeing a friend in a play. She went to a drama school in New York and also did modeling and singing.
In 1952, she appeared in a Broadway show. People liked her looks, and she was even in Playboy Magazine.
Her big break came in 1958 with the movie God’s Little Acre. She won a Golden Globe for her role.
After that, she did more theater and some movies. She also studied acting with Lee Strasberg. She became famous for playing Ginger on Gilligan’s Island, even though she wasn’t sure about the role at first. 
The show only lasted three seasons, but it became very popular. Tina kept acting afterward. She’s also written books and volunteers at schools. She’s the last surviving member of the Gilligan’s Island cast.
Tina was married once and has a daughter and two grandchildren.
Now, she still lives in New York and is open to meeting someone special. She doesn’t like to focus on her age and prefers to live in the present.
