Dawn Wells, the actress who played "Mary Ann" on "Gilligan's Island," died on Wednesday (Dec. 30, 2020) of COVID-19 complications. She was 82.In 1973, Wells had a chance to don an Apollo spacesuit and dive in the neutral buoyancy tank at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. She recalled the experience in a 2014 Facebook post: Ground Control to Major Tom! Suiting up at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama and ready to go in the pool. Jack Heller and I got a chance to experience astronaut training while in town for a play.
