Mary Ann Summers - in Ginger or Mary Ann?

In Ginger or Mary Ann?

In a debate to which girl was more attractive out of Ginger and Mary Ann, Mary Ann has continuously outpolled Ginger. Mary Ann's wholesome girl-next-door looks caused her to be more favorable to being a man's dream wife and women's model of themselves. Since the shows debut, Mary Ann has been known as the show's most popular character. Bob Denver (aka Gilligan) admitted he was a Mary Ann man and that Dawn Wells got at least 3–5,000 fan letters weekly from men, women, kids, and teenagers, etc. Mary Ann's creator Sherwood Schwartz later admitted that he didn't see Mary Ann or the Professor as prominent characters during the first few episodes and that he later corrected his mistake by giving them larger roles and opening-cast-billing.
