In 1991, after the world lost three of the Gilligan’s Island castaways — Alan Hale Jr., Jim Backus, and Natalie Schafer — Sherwood Schwartz ran this ad in both The Hollywood Reporter and Variety. He wrote, “I will never forget these wonderful people… And neither will millions of viewers.”
Now, 20 years later, some of the surviving members of the Gilligan and Brady Bunch families are remembering him.
Lloyd J. Schwartz (son and co-producer): “Never was there a kinder man than Sherwood Schwartz… as a son, husband, brother, father, grandfather and in all of his professional relationships. And his talent speaks for itself. It was an honor to have been his son.”
Tina Louise (Ginger Grant): “Sherwood Schwartz brought laughter and comfort to millions of people. Gilligan’s Island was a family. He will be in our hearts forever.”
So excitedddd."
