The differences between Mary Ann Summers (Dawn Wells) and Ginger Grant (Tina Louise) characters on Gilligan's Island couldn’t be better summed up any better than this simple bit of dialogue between them:

Mary Ann - “I used to be a Girl Scout, and they teach you a lot."

Ginger: “I used to go with a Boy Scout, and they teach you a lot, too

Mary Ann was the quintessential all American girl next door type while Ginger, on the other hand, oozed glamour and sex appeal. Og course, both women were gorgeous but on opposite sides of the spectrum.

Over the course of her career, Jane Seymour has earned an Emmy Award, two Golden Globe Awards, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She was also made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire back in 2000.

One of her first shots at stardom was back in 1981 from the East of Eden TV miniseries. The miniseries was based on the John Steinbeck novel of the same name and is one of Seymour’s most memorable early works. Aside from that, the model turned actress was also well known for her performances in the James Bond film Live and Let Die (1973), Somewhere In Time (1980), and eventually, she would go on to become Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman (1993–1998).
