Don't know as the film The Stepford Wives really should be said to have been well-received if by that "critically well-received" is meant. I will say that it was well received in that the term "Stepford Wife" entered the mass vocabulary, and that it is regarded as being better than the version recently released by almost everyone.

LGBT

Is she a lesbian? I saw her on a list of "out celebritites", but I can't find anything on her sexual orientation beyond that.

Tina gave an interview to the BC magazine called Out! in which she acknowledged her lesbianism late in life, yet is not currently seeing anyone. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.54.18.181 (talk) 05:01, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

DOB

Prior to today, most listings give Louise's birthyear as 1934. Why the change to wiki today? 29 May 2006

Removed content

Below is the content I have removed from the main article space. Trivia section doesn't say anything about whether the items in question are remotely connected to the subject of the article or just shear coincidence. The quote isn't actually attributed to the article subject (within the article) and has no reference attached that I could see. Thank you. Jasynnash2 (talk) 13:25, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Trivia

A song on The Dirtbombs' album If You Don't Already Have a Look is named "Tina Louise".
An Asian Fusion restaurant in Carlstadt, New Jersey is named Tina Louise.

Quotes The best movie you'll ever be in is your own life because that's what matters in the end."

Old Rumor

I remember reading when Rescue from Gilligan's Island (1978) first came out that supposedly the real reason that Tina Louise didn't want to be involved was that she hadn't aged well. I didn't take much stock in the rumor until I saw SST: Death Flight (1977) some years later with her in it and noted that she was no where near the beauty she had been as Ginger. Does anybody else remember reading this and if so where it came from?--BruceGrubb (talk) 01:48, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Accent

Evidently at some point, during the first year of Gilligan's Island, the story started that Tina Louise had been raised in England and that every now and then her British accent could be detected (this claim appeared in a TV Guide article at the time). It is clear from the Wikipedia article that this could not have been true. I suspect this myth was started by either the studio or by Louise to (1) elevate her from the bimbo aura of the Ginger character and (2) attract more viewers who would pay attention to her speech as if it were a puzzle.

Television sex symbol

I am surprised that Tina came in only second-after Heather Locklear! Is this true? I would have thought she'd have been number one with Julie Newmar and Lara Parker in the second and third places. Locklear is pretty, Tina is beautiful and sexy. Hmm, with all due respect to Ms. Locklear, I suppose there's no accounting for male tastes.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 09:14, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actors Studio Member?

I've heard over the years that Ms. Louise had aspirations to be a serious dramatic actress, but had never read (before now) that she's an official member of the Actors Studio in New York. I'm interested in where this is referenced, elsewhere. Codenamemary (talk) 01:35, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

is she alive or dead?

according to the top of the article she died in 2004, yet a ways into the article it reads:

"Louise now resides in New York City"
