==Trivia== * Mary Ann was voiced by [[Jane Webb]] in the ''[[The New Adventures of Gilligan]]'', but [[Dawn Wells]] voiced the character as well as that of [[Ginger]] in ''[[Gilligan's Planet]]''. * Mary Ann was reputedly based on Dorothy from the film ''The Wizard of Oz''. * It is said throughout the series that she knows a lot about gardening, having been raised on a farm in Kansas. * Although Mary Ann was supposedly meant to be a teenager, Wells was older than her fictional character with her actual age at the start of the series being 26; Tina Louise was about 5 years older. * Her favorite radio soap operas are [[Old Doctor Young]] and [[Blaze of Noon]]. * Through the series, she wears different color ribbons in her hair to match her attire. * In [[Two on a Raft]], it's revealed Mary Ann was employed at the general store in [[Winfield]], Kansas and had also been a member of the Girl Scouts. * Through the series, there are several moments that imply Mary Ann is sweet on Gilligan inasmuch as she is usually making coconut cream pies for him as prizes or gifts of gratitude. Although attempts at romance are made in [[The Matchmaker]] and [[The Postman Cometh]], nothing ever develops. * Mary Ann becomes the prime provider of meals to the castaways, often helped by [[Ginger]]. She is also able to make pies and cakes on the island even though an oven is never seen on the island. However, the Professor might have showed her an analogue to the Navaho baking kilns used to make bread. * In [[Ring Around Gilligan]], Mary Ann reveals she was a member of a club that wore club rings * Mary Ann wears her hair down only four times in the series. She wears it down when Gilligan is flying in the jet pack in [[It's a Bird, It's a Plane]], when she tries boosting Gilligan's morale in [[Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow]], when she thought she was [[Ginger]] in [[The Second Ginger Grant]] and when she and Ginger torment [[The Mosquitoes]] in [[Don't Bug the Mosquitoes]]. * Mary Ann faints in the episodes [[Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow]] and in [[The Second Ginger Grant]]. * In the original opening sequence, neither Mary Ann's name or the Professor's was mentioned. It was mentioned that [[Bob Denver]] successfully petitioned to include their character's names in the opening sequence when the series opener was re-created for the color episodes. * The episode, [[Beauty Is as Beauty Does]], stands out as a fan favorite for all Mary Ann fans inasmuch as she accidentally loses her bathing suit in the lagoon in preparation for running against Ginger for Miss Castaway. [[The Second Ginger Grant]] also seems to rank high among fans. * Mary Ann and Gilligan are the two youngest castaways on the island. * Both Mary Ann and the Professor are left-handed.
