I believe that leaves only Ginger/ Tina Louise of the castaways. Professor died at a ripe old age couple years ago.
Dawn Wells apparently inherited Natalie Schaffer's sizeable fortune when she died at the age of 90 in 1991.
Yes, Mrs. Howell would have been 120.
Should have stayed on the island. No COVID there.

RIP Mary Ann

But they had scurvy and the Mosquitoes. Also, Keefe and one of his relatives visited them. Then there was that pesky mine that floated in the harbor.

Always preferred Mary Ann to Ginger.
If she inherited a fortune, then she spent it, because in 2018 there was a GoFundMe set up for her after a fall.
Per Wikipedia, it was never made public what she inherited from Natalie Schafer;Ms Schafer did leave a couple million to a charity.
There was never any question that I was a Mary Ann; never wanted to be Ginger anyway.

Considering there are seven cases in Antarctica now I wouldn't be so sure.

Too close to Bikini Atoll for my tastes, thank you very much.
By the way, I never figured out how they could be a few hours from Oahu and still be on a deserted island, especially one with fresh water, edible fruit, plentiful fish and an active volcano.

The professor could make a radio out of coconuts and a bicycle out of bamboo, but not a way to fix the Minnow.
Also, even years after the shipwreck, all the women had perfect hair and makeup every day, including false eyelashes.

And all Tom Hanks had was a bloody volleyball....

I've said similar, though my punchline is that he could do all that but he couldn't figure out a way to use some vines and logs to make a raft.
I am legit shocked that no one has greenlit a gritty reboot of Gilligan's Island. Same characters but they get grimier and more desperate as the series progresses.

Lost.
So more of a Lord of the Flies kind of vibe.
