Stunt Woman
Even though Natalie Schafer is a real-life millionaire, she did all of her stunts. Surprised? Isn’t it great that at that age she did all her stunts herself? Think about her falling into the lagoon and quicksand!
Contract Clause
Dawn Wells was the one who benefited most from the show financially. Dawn Wells’ husband is a TV show agent and he told her that she needed to add a clause in her contract. That clause was her receiving royalties from Gilligan’s Island syndication earnings. Since Gilligan’s Island still runs on daytime TV sometimes, she is still getting paychecks!
