Not A Dime
Most of the Gilligan’s Island crew, including the star Bob Denver who played Gilligan, did not strike gold with the show. Actually, majority of the cast only had residual rights up until 1968. Well, the reason is that most of them believed the show would not make it. They saw this show as something fun that would be a resume fluffer. Everyone but Dawn Wells that is! As we mentioned, Wells had reruns explicitly written into her contract.
