Tina made a name for herself in the 50s after starring in the 1958 drama film God’s Little Acre, which won her a Golden Globe. However her signature role came in 1964 when she took on the role of movie star Ginger Grant in the iconic Gilligan’s Island.

The sitcom was broadcast from 1964 until the final episode on April 17, 1967. It was never a ratings winner but became a cult hit that many still love today.

Her character was a sexy, bombshell type actress reminiscent of Marilyn Monroe, who was concerned about her gowns, appearance, career and Hollywood gossip.

Tina has a successful film career as she starred in classics like The Trap (1966), The Hangman (1959), Day of the Outlaw (1959) and For Those Who Think Young (1964).

Not giving up anytime time soon, her latest role was starring alongside Stephen Baldwin, Burt Young and Joseph D’Onofrio in the 2017 family drama Tapestry.
