Bob Denver would never have in a million years thought of himself as an icon, but the fact that "Gilligan’s Island" is still airing somewhere on the planet 62 years after its 1964 debut proves that not only is the show iconic, but the man who played the title role is also.

Readers Favorite 5-Star Review


Although  targeted at young readers, Zen and Now by Dreama Denver is a story that  can appeal to readers of all ages. While on the surface it’s a humorous  study of the wonderful companionship dogs provide to humans, as well as  a call for people to rescue animals and provide them with a loving  home, it reaches far deeper. As much as I enjoyed such touches as the  inclusion of an autistic child in Zen’s adventures and a dog’s-eye view  of the COVID-19 lockdown, I was most touched by the last chapter and the  epilogue. The Rainbow Bridge story and what followed had me in tears.  This could just as easily convey to a child with a terminally ill friend  or family member the concept of life after death gently and  beautifully. This is a great book to share as a gift and a story that I  won’t forget. As Zen says, “Humans are funny animals.” 

Dawn Wells America's Sweetheart

10/18/38 - 12/30/2020

 

Nothing I say in this post will be sufficient because there are no words to convey the sadness I feel.


Dawn  was my friend for 45 years. She was also America’s sweetheart. Her life  force was not to be believed. Her curiosity was as boundless as her  heart was huge. Her kindness to her fans was legendary. Just ask any fan  who ever met her.


My  heart breaks for the loss that I and so many others are feeling today.  Somehow it doesn’t seem possible that I’m talking about Dawn in the past  tense. But I’m so grateful for her 82 beautiful years on this earth -  years full of adventure and joy. Her impact in television, movies and  stage will live on, her legacy will never fade. 


I’ll  treasure our friendship until my last breath. I’ll remember the girl  talks (so many girl talks), rooming together on the road, the fun we had  at autograph shows, the way she lit up a room the minute she entered.  Our last visit was in February of 2019 when she came to Princeton to  co-host the Denver Foundation’s Valentines for Veterans concert. I needed  her. She came. That’s who she was. She stayed at my house and we were  having so much fun she extended her visit for 2 extra days! I had no idea that would be our last time together and I'm beyond grateful for those 5 days of just being girlfriends.


My  heart is broken. Dawn and I always said we were meant to be friends.  Even if I had never met Bob, we were certain the theater circuit would  have brought us together, our paths would have crossed. When we finally  did meet on the set of “Rescue from Gilligan’s Island”, we became  friends instantly and that friendship lasted through the loss of  Natalie, Jim, Alan, Russell and the love of my life, Bob.

What  a reunion they must be having. They all loved each other so much, and  what a blessing that I became part of the castaway love fest.


Dawnie,  I love you. I can’t believe you’re gone. I pray you’re at peace. My  heart hurts. This has been so difficult to write and I’m afraid I  haven’t done you justice. You were a bright light in this sometimes dark  world. You were my friend, loved by me and so many others. 


The ultimate  dilemma was never really a dilemma at all - Ginger or Mary Ann?


 It was always  Mary Ann . . . . 


Rest In Peace, my beautiful friend.
