Tina Louise Is All Grown Up!

With four of seven castaways dead, 73-year-old "Gilligan's Island" star Tina Louise is still tickin' after undergoing her lifelong 639,480-hour tour!

Tina Louise
While she's no longer a movie star in real life, the original Ginger spice is now a children's author, having just penned "When I Grow Up."

At a book signing in New Jersey last week, Tina proved that just because you're a septuagenarian doesn't mean you can't have plump lips, copper hair and taut skin!

"It's primitive as can be!"

76. To Tony #2: Is that you Greasy Bear Brandon? You sound just like him.

77. Sheldon #12.... I heard the same thing about her. She thought she was a primadonna on the set of Gilligan's Island years ago and expected to be treated like f...ing royalty because she played "Ginger". Castmates have come out in recent years saying that she didn't get along with any of them and thought her shit didn't stink. Now look at her? Payback's a BEOTCH....

78. Why do you always have to be so freaking mean and esoteric about a hard working lady doing her thing and minding her own business. Go pick on someone your own size, you freaking morons. Why can't you stick to some objective reporting and not be so unnecessarily HATEFUL!?!! No wonder you promote that pig, Perez.

79. "Some of the posters here are commenting on her appearance as though she should still look like she did on Gilligan's island. If a man ages, gets a few wrinkles, some grey we call him "distinguished" Why don't we do that for women too? They are wiser when older,they have most of life's mistakes behind them."

To answer your question. Women won't let themselves get distinguished". Ant wisdom they may have earned is erased by botox and face lifts. That takes away any charm they might have earned if they would get let themselves be natural and grow old gracefully.

81. Tina Louise, Barbra Eden and Dawn Wells are ALL on my "to DO" list. Where's my Viagra? If it lasts for 4 hours it will more than cover my 3 hour tour.

82. The real question is why is TMZ running Tina's photo with tacky comments under it. It's like throwing fresh meat to the dogs. I'm sorry.....is this The National Enquirer online?

83. I think she looks great for 73, so what if she paid to have her look that great. I also agree about being bitter over type casting, I'd also heard she wasn't very nice... oh well
It was always Ginger vs Maryann... I always thought Maryann was the better of the two.
my two cents:)

84. Pity our society compares beauty to the useless has been singers who's careers lasted less than 5 years. Shame shame on Britney, (she needs a hug and some honesty) Paris and their 15 minutes of fame and their over exposure. Tina owes nobody a thing and the fact that she looks wonderful and still going is amazing. And hint hint....all those people in hollywood look like the rest of us without the picture paint, tons of makeup and their trail around primpers. Kudos to the au naturals, we know who you are. Tina! You go girl.

85. These comments are horrible. What is wrong with all you people? In this horrid society we live in, growing old has become a crime. I have read these comments and realize what a nation of imbeciles we have all become. Give the lady a break. She has done more to protect her health than most of the obese, lazy, cigarette-smoking, carbo-loading idiots who post on this worthless website ever did for themselves. GROWING OLD IS NOT A CRIME, assholes!!! You also will grow old some day, and if you posted nasty comments here, I hope you too are tortured by stupid morons just like yourself.

86. Here's a site with other shots of her from the same event. TMZ picked the worst possible photo of her from that day. There are other shots of her from the same event that don't look as severe and are much more flattering.

87. Tina Louise is a television legend! she's a wonderful mother (by her daughters admission)
she volunteers as a reading teacher in the new york school system,she now writes books for children to help encourage them through life and while I believe she still looks beautiful at 73 she is getting old. it happens to most of us but most of us are not so blessed to be able to say, and have it said of us, that in our youth we were truely beautiful. Miss louise CAN say that! don't hate, people. as someone wrote here earlier, it will come back to you.just give it a few years and look in the mirror.

88. Tina Louise will do what she wishes. If a woman or man wants to do things to make themselves look younger, that's their prerogative. If Tina didn't have cosmetic surgery or let her hair go gray, there would be people making fun of her for that. I don't think there's a law that says a woman over 70 has to look and dress a certain way. I think Tina is the same Tina she's always been. During Bob Denver's last years there were a few recent photos of him floating around the Internet, and people were NOT kind. They picked on his gray hair, called him "scary", etc.

90. She looks great for 73. You youngsters should check out her Playboy spread when she WAS young. She would put many of you to shame!! Go, Ginger!
