Happy Birthday wishes go out to Tina Louise Blacker who is 81 years old today.  Tina is an actress, singer, and writer.  She is divorced with one daughter.

In 1958 Tina was voted the "World's Most Beautiful Redhead" by the "National Art Council".  Tina posed for Playboy in 1958 & 1959.

Tina started her television career with spots on "Route 66", "Burkes Law", "Mannix", and one of my favorites, "The Red Skelton Show".

Tina is probably best known for her role as Ginger Grant on the television series "Gilligans Island."  The series ran from 1964 to 1967.  Tina got the part after Jan Mansfield turned it down.

The big question now days is were you a Ginger fan or a Mary Ann fan.  I went for Mary Ann.
