If you are a Gilligan's Island fan and knows a lot about the show, please help us out, Miss Rhode Island 2000 did! We're looking for other countries as well. Also Hawaii, Canada, Mexico, Europe etc... Does actor Denny Miller ring a bell? He was "Tarzan The Ape Man" in 1959 and also starred in a lot of Westerns including "Wagon Train" in 1957. You might better know him as Gilligan's Island "Tongo The Ape Man" and the surfer "Duke Williams." He is selling a personally autographed photo of himself on his web site for only $10. If you tell him you are from the fan club it will only cost you $5.00 plus postage. It is a great addition to your Gilligan's Island collection. An excellent gift too! You have about 8 photo's to choose from. To get an autographed photo, just visit his web site at: http://www.denny-miller.com/ You can e-mail Denny Miller personally at: Dlmillerxtarzan@aol.com He would love to hear from you, and he will write back! He told me that he really enjoys hearing from fans. I've been in contact with him for about a year now, and he has always been very polite. He was my favorite guest star on the show, and of course the Mosquitoes. ATTENTION!!! Cast sighting!

Meg Kevane Events Co-Ordinator Drawing Board Productions drawingboard2002@yahoo.com Taken from the July FHM Magazine True Stories: A new study says half of American adults have trouble with such common tasks as reading a newspaper, filling out a job application or balancing a checkbook. Three fourths, however, can correctly sing the theme to "Gilligan's Island." Sent by Robin Washington Here's a 32 second interview at a book signing in Canada. http://nardwuar.com/vs/gilligan/index.html The fan club recently got a brand new Lovey, and she really fits the part! In fact, the more I talk to her, the more I'm convinced that she really is Mrs. Thurston Howell III. The following article was found on http://www.bradyworld.com In the June 1-7 TV Guide, page 3, the following quote: "Given that even Car 54 Where Are You? got made into a movie, Gilligan's Island would seem a sure thing. But corporate mergers and executive shuffles have even stranged Gilligan (Bob Denver). 'It's so complicated,' says creator Sherwood Schwartz, who had better luck making his show The Brady Bunch into a film. Still, Schwartz isn't giving up entirely. He intends to pursue another idea: The Brady Bunch on Gilligan's Island. This time he says he'll bypass the glacial pace of feature production and just pitch it to TV networks." (**Note from Brady World - remember this is just an idea of Sherwood Schwartz, not an announcement of a movie coming). Nick Bozza On an episode of "The Pretender", Jarod sent Miss Parker, Broots and Sidney a head from a wax museum with parts that stuck on to it. When asked who the wax head looked like, Broots replied, "Gilligan. You know, from the island... with Skipper and the Professor and Mary Ann. It looks like Gilligan!"
