Born in New York City, Tina Louise was two years old when she appeared in an ad for her father's candy store, and was in her teens when she starred on Broadway in Li'l Abner. She made her feature film debut as Griselda Walden in the 1958 film God's Little Acre. In a career that spanned over six decades, she is best known for her role as movie-star Ginger in the sitcom Gilligan's Island.
