50 Years Later: Where Is The Cast Of Gilligan’s Island Today?


Tina Louise As Ginger Grant – Then

When Ginger embarked on the boat tour that would leave her stranded with the others, all she had been thinking about was relaxing in the warm, tropical waters. Though it wasn’t easy on her psyche, she managed to make the best of her time on the island, often becoming the person who boosted the others’ morale when they needed a boost. Turns out, they really needed Ginger’s good spirits while they were lost.

Tina Louise – Now

Since the completion of Gilligan’s Island, we haven’t seen very much from Tina Louise, making her limited appearances even more unforgettable. For two decades, however, Louise was in some of the most popular TV shows of the era, including The Love Boat, CHiPs, Dallas, and Love, American Style. Recently, Tina Louise has come back out of the woodwork in a feature film called Tapestry. Starring alongside her were the actors Stephen Baldwin and Burt Young.

Larry Storch As Jackson Farrell – Then

In a time when it was much easier to go off the grid, hiding away on a touring boat seemed like a great idea to the criminal Jackson Farrell. After a number of West Coast bank robberies, Farrell had managed to elude the police by hopping over to Hawaii. The other castaways were convinced by his story that he was a doctor, at least at first. Once they figured out his secret, however, he tried to imprison the others.

Larry Storch – Now

Larry Storch may not have been the biggest mainstay while he was working on Gilligan’s Island, but his appearance was certainly memorable. Even for those who didn’t associate Storch with his work on the show, he was such a well-known character actor from other TV and film projects, that audiences were sure to recognize him. While he was a voiceover regular for The Pink Panther Show and Scooby-Doo in his prime, the now-retired actor’s last appearance was in Medium Rare in 2010.
