Mary Ann -- More Like Mary Jane!!

Dawn Wells, the actress that played Mary Ann on "Gilligan's Island," was busted with marijuana in her car after driving home from her birthday party in Idaho -- and she's 69!

Wells was pulled over on October 18 after a Teton County sheriff noticed her swerve across the center lines of State Highway 33 and repeatedly speeding up and slowing down. A search produced four half-smoked joints and two small cases to store marijuana -- which she blamed on hitchhikers. Even Gilligan wouldn't buy that one!

Wells is now serving a three hour tour six months of unsupervised probation for the crime. She pleaded guilty to one count of reckless driving and was sentenced last month to five days in jail, fined $410.50 and placed on probation.

77. In fact she supplied bob denver(gilligan) with pot she mailed it to him I think its sad that she feels she has to do drugs.

78. Todd, I think you are mistaking the belief that the people here support driving under the influence of any substance. However if you are at home, It is none of your business, nor the laws buisness if you are smoking a joint.

81. Happy birthday Mary Ann, this is just top notch police work by officer Square Nuts. Just exactly what was she doing wrong? This feeds the cottage industry ie: Attorneys, Judges, Jail/Court personnel of prohibition in the new millennium. Wake up people we are near a Nazi like state in this country they can pull you over for anything and if you are just a bit .08 out of line they are going to rake you over all the coals, You can be President or VP with these offenses but try getting a job without a drivers licence. The only bigger boondoggle is the Friend of the Court. Just my 2 cents. How long is this harrasment going to go on before people have had enough.?

86. YEAH #59. Right on brother! (or sister) Makes perfect sense to me. Alcohol kills, tabacco kills. Marijuana can be used to make oatmeal and feed starving children, marijuana can be used to make clothing. Marijuana can be used to help people with cancer nausia. It helps cancer patients who can't swallow a pill and can't keep food down. So many GOOD uses for marijuana, benefiting others.

And of course if people want to smoke for pleasure, what's the problem? I'd rather be driving stoned than driving drunk. If I'm stoned, I'll be using my turn signals, making complete stops probably driving slightly under the speed limit.

88. WAY TO GO MARY ANN! WHOO HOO!

89. In her books and in TV interviews she chastized Bob Denver (Gilligan) about how shocked and disappointed she was about his pot bust about 10 years ago. And there she is puffin on the dragon! I love her even more though. Wouldn't that be great, to be marooned with Marianne and a few pounds of Hawaiian skunk ! Too bad Gilligan's Island was a more recent show, you know there would be some nice pics and "home movies" of Marianne floating around.
