Dawn Wells - the actress who played Mary Ann Summers in the hit CBS sitcom 'Gilligan's Island' - has fallen into hard times with a financial crisis.
Seeking financial assistance from her fans, a friend of the 79-year-old actress has even set up a GoFundMe fundraising campaign to help her with 'hospital costs', the page describes. Wells is in the hospital after 'breaking her knee which required hospitalization for two months,' revealed TMZ.
Wells needs $194,000 to cover her hospital bills, the page describes "to help [Dawn] move and pay her hospital costs as well as future expenses." The page was started on August 27 and has received contributions from 696 people so far.
