Bob Denver, the star of Gilligan’s Island, was a firm advocate of equality. In actual fact, he became exceptionally vexed to see Dawn Wells and Russell Johnson not named in the credits of the show. Thus, he did his best to change the situation. Talking about Gilligan, incredible actor Jerry Van Dyke declined the lead part, yet later clarified, “But that’s the joke: I turned it down and took My Mother the Car.
