Tina Louise played Ginger Grant on Gilligan’s Island. The show ran in the ’60s and now Tina is sadly the only surviving cast member of the iconic show. She recently opened up about her time on the show and shared who she thought her sexiest co-star was. She simply said, “It’s Jim [Backus].”
Jim played Thurston Howell III. Tina shared, “Jim was hilarious. Humor, hon. He was so funny and he used to go to the psychiatrist every day and tell me the news of the day … But just in general, he had a great sense of humor. He was adorable.”
