Wow. But the 1960s network censors would have never allowed an outfit like that on TV at that time. Barbara Eden wasn’t even allowed to show her navel in her I Dream of Jennie outfit.
Plus it would have been too much competition for Tina Louise.
If I’d been the casting agent knowing she was going to be stuck in that wardrobe every episode? She’d gotten the part. However, it would have created a problem (I’m sure) with Tina Louise cast as Ginger as well as Dawn Wells not being present to represent the Yin and Yang.
I would swim to that island and not want to be rescued
Ginger slayer
TIL Raquel Welch wanted to be Mary Ann.
Guess she would have up stage Tina

Thong toes with pantyhose
This would have ended the Ginger vs Mary Ann debate once and for all.
nothing against Dawn Wells, amazing person, but had Raquel been cast, the show would have run 20 years
Would make no sense that the she would be “the girl next door” when they had the Ginger character.
Dawn Wells did it better
Meh. Whatever. (my pathetic attempt at trolling sarcasm)
Raquel Welch would be like a ginger/Mary ann mashup
Where’s the pope and the lifeboat?
I think they could have made room for one more passenger that day.

I think her accent was the reason she was allowed to go on to a better career.
Was this picture taken on a backlot?
“those aren’t buoys.”
Mary was a low-key hottie. Raquel was a bit much for such a role.
It was only supposed to be a three hour tour !
“Hey Gilligan, do you want some of my pie?”
“What say you there, fuzzy britches??”
Still glad we got who we got.
I’d be all over that..
Climbing those nets.
Who’s the lady?
“I want…I I I want Raquel Welch to sit on me…..She’s got a big bottom.”
(Monty Python fans should remember this one).
This is how you keep them on the farm.
Well, if they were set on Tina Louise you know they wouldn’t have considered that. She would have upstaged Tina every time.
WTF is wrong with her feet?
Oh lordy!
Get a boat…
My god!
