and Abner still went with Daisy Mae??
who is that actress, btw?

That's Edie Adams. She was something special in her own right and doesn't get the popular recollection today that she deserves. A really great person who suffered more than her share of personal tragedy and just kept going. She might be best remembered today as Sid Ceaser's way too pretty wife in It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World . If you ever watch that movie you'll notice they did manage to conveniently slit her dress all the way up one of those lovely legs.

Li'l Abner's choice could only have been for Daisy Mae. Not only was she local but keep in mind that the other ladies were intended as parodies. Stupifyin' Jones (Julie Newmar) rendered men complete idiots. We've all known a few ladies like that and Julie certainly had that effect. Appassionata Von Climax (Tina Louise) was really the kind of of over the top Hollywood sex bomb that was common at the time. More than anything else though was Daisy Mae's secret weapon, she was a quicksand fetishist.

Could you have said "No" to that?

Tina even made it to Playboy in 1959.

In the interest of giving Mary Ann some time here, Dawn Wells posted this little BTS tidbit to her Facebook page a while back -

People used to think Gilligan was an idiot for screwing up so many attempts at getting rescued from that island. WHY would he want to leave this arrangement?

I don't really have to like a lady that much to make a fantasy object of her but there's always something hidden that you can sense. I think this sort of sums up why Mary Ann had the bigger following over the decades -

Dawn Wells and I have never been close, we just never clicked. She was very much about pleasing everyone and I have never been that way.
