Actresses Who Played The Role of Ginger Grant
Jayne Mansfield, a late-1950s sex symbol, was offered the role of Ginger after the departure of Kit Smythe, who played Ginger as a secretary in the pilot. When Ginger was converted to a movie star, the producers swapped the actresses, and asked Mansfield, who was a Marilyn Monroe-esque, to portray the character. However, she turned it down and was replaced by Tina Louise. Louise, however, disliked the character and for years felt it had ruined her career as being a "serious" actress. Judith Baldwin, played her in the first and second reunion film. Constance Forslund, played her in the third and final reunion film to date.
