The Character in Gilligan's Island Reunion Films
In the 1978 made-for-TV-movie, Rescue from Gilligan's Island; Tina Louise refused to return, for she believed the role had typecast her forever as a glamor queen, and was replaced by Judith Baldwin. Baldwin also portrayed Ginger in the sequel The Castaways on Gilligan's Island. However, Baldwin didn't return for the third sequel, The Harlem Globetrotters on Gilligan's Island; therefore, Constance Forslund, stepped in as the fourth actress to play the "movie star".
