er wait I meant Mary Ann.

Freudian slip? Dawn Wells played the part of Mary Ann in the 60’s TV hit Gilligan Island. On February 29 she was sentenced to five days in jail and $410.50 according to the Associated Press.

Dawn was driving home from her surprise 69th birthday party when Teton County sheriffs Deputy Joseph Gutierrez pulled her over for swerving and speeding up and slowing down. When he asked her about the smell of Marijhuana in the car Wells explained t hat she just had three hitchhikers in the car and she dropped them off when they started smoking “something”.

Oh, baby, Dawn. It sounds like we might have a FutonPoncho with your name on it!

Dawn Wells attorney Ron Swafford maintains the marijuana was left in the car by a friend who testified to the fact, and her erratic driving was due to the fact that she was trying to operate the heater controls on her new car.

Hugh Laurie plays the title role, but he wasn’t always the dramatic actor of the TV show. Perhaps some of House’s sarcasm shows through in this clip from the British TV comedy Black Adder.
