Tina Louise is Great

I wanted to jump in with some shitty Ginger vs. Mary Ann jokes but this article about Tina Louise reveals how really remarkable she's been:

In 1996, after seeing an article about a drop in students’ ability to read, Ms. Louise joined Learning Leaders, a nonprofit that trained volunteers to tutor public school students throughout the five boroughs. For the next two decades Ms. Louise diligently worked with students, encouraging them in a mellifluous voice.

Some of the teachers were familiar with her pedigree, but the students weren’t. Ms. Louise recalled the young boy who raised his hand when the teacher asked if anyone knew who she was.

“She’s the lady who talks to us and reads to us,” he said.

The whole article's worth your time, but not before I make you nice people pay for my hating myself by ruining this sweet moment by making sure to remind everybody how important to remember how crazy hot she was on Gilligan’s Island.
