TINA LOUISE, 84 YEARS OLD
Tina Louise has enjoyed a lengthy onscreen career over the years, though she is likely best known for playing Ginger Grant in the classic American sitcom Gilligan’s Island. You might not know, however, that she actually stepped onto the entertainment industry via her Broadway performances. She might have quit acting, but this might have something to do with the fact that she is a member of the prestigious Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the Actors Studio. She is the writer of multiple books and that includes children’s books. She is an academic and literacy advocate who volunteers with children in New York City through the non-profit organization Learning Leaders. She has stated that it was important for little kids to learn literary skills as these will help them gain “confidence, self-determination, and proof of their own potential.” She is definitely a wonderful role model!
