Iconic 60s sitcom star makes very rare public outing after turning 91 - can you guess the TV sex symbol?
This photogenic wonder was on a massive and very beloved sitcom with several other stars in the 1960s.
The TV show was set on a deserted island and had several amusing characters like a millionaire and a professor.
This actress played one of the better looking ladies on the series as she became the dream Hollywood pinup thanks to her knockout figure and flaming red hair.
The star made a rare sighting in New York City's Upper East Side over the weekend as she wore fitted jeans, a black top and jacket as well as black sneakers and glamorous oversized sunglasses.
She clearly has kept her looks intact as she made an impressive impression, especially considering that she recently turned 91-years-old.
Can you guess who this sex symbol is?
The star, 91, made a rare sighting in New York City's Upper East Side over the weekend as she wore fitted jeans, a black top and jacket as well as black sneakers and glamorous oversized sunglasses. Can you guess who this sex symbol is?
She is Tina Louise, who played the stunning movie star Ginger Grant on Gilligan's Island.
The series starred Russell Johnson, Dawn Wells, Bob Denver, Jim Backus, Natalie Schafer, and Alan Hale, Jr.
The show about a diverse group of tourists shipwrecked on a tropical island aired from 1964 to 1967.
She took on the part of Ginger after the role was turned down by Jayne Mansfield.
The character was a sexy, bombshell type actress reminiscent of Marilyn Monroe who was concerned with her outfits, appearance, career and Hollywood gossip.
Louise starred as Ginger in all three seasons of the sitcom but turned down opportunities to reprise the role in 1977 movie Rescue From Gilligan's Island or The Harlem Globetrotters On Gilligan's Island as she is the only original cast member to turn the opportunity down.
She is the last surviving Gilligan's Island star.
Tina began her acting career in the theater during the mid 1950s.
Louise had her breakthrough when she starred in 1958 drama film God's Little Acre as she even received a Golden Globe in the New Star Of The Year Category.
She had a successful film career as she starred in classics like The Trap, The Hangman, Day Of The Outlaw, and For Those Who Think Young.
She did make numerous guest appearances on television series and even made a return to film starring in The Wrecking Crew, The Happy Ending, and The Stepford Wives.
She also worked alongside Stephen Baldwin, Burt Young, and Joseph D'Onofrio in Ken Kushner directed family drama Tapestry which was released in 2017.
Last year she re-released her 1997 memoir.
The actress also did an audiobook for her tell-all titled Sunday: A Memoir.
In the tome she talks about working on the hit show as she said she did not think it would be such a massive success. Actually, at first she thought that it would only last six months.
Also in her book she talks about her time as a child in boarding school.
At age six she was sent by her parents to boarding school because they were going through a divorce.
But she did not feel comfortable at the school.
Her only highlight was Sundays when her parents might visit.
She wrote on her Facebook page: 'I've been having fun doing press about my audiobook for the re-release of Sunday, my memoir written from my perspective as an 8-year-old. It's really quite freeing and therapeutic to talk about it. The book is out now in various forms.'
