A TOAST TO TINA!

Before Tina Louise became stranded on Gilligan's Island , she tried to carve out a dramatic career in Hollywood. She won a Golden Globe Award for her movie debut in God's Little Acre, and went on to appear in a string of less-than-successful dramas opposite Richard Widmark, Robert Taylor, and Robert Ryan. Disenchanted with the roles being offered her (she turned down Operation Petticoat and Li'l Abner) she hightailed it to Europe. Check out this wonderful CLIP of Tina at the Cannes Film Festival where she once again proves she was one of the sexiest Sirens of the Sixties and that there was more to her than just playing Ginger Grant.
