Was 'Gilligan's Island' really filmed at Echo Park Lake? There was only one way to find out: Go straight to the source. Or, how columnist erskinetimes ended up throwing a tiki party with a very special guest of honor:
I’m always hot on the trail of something elusive — a free drink, a genuine compliment, two-for-one begonias at the local gardening center. Today, I am chasing down a tip that “Gilligan’s Island,” one of America’s most beloved shows, was filmed at Echo Park Lake, in the middle of downtown Los Angeles, an Eden-like urban oasis.
Anyway, an internet site claims that the show’s lagoon scenes were filmed near the north end of Echo Park Lake, and if you’ve been there, you know the busy park resembles the show’s tropical setting.Jungle overgrowth curls around its tiny island, and it is alive, really alive. Palm fronds and lily pads — nature’s sedative — are all over the place. Makes me think that “Gilligan’s Island” easily could have been filmed here during its mid-’60s run.
As with Barbara Eden in “I Dream of Jeannie,” the network wouldn’t let Wells expose her navel, for fear of offending advertisers and audiences. “Between my belly button and Tina’s cleavage, we had to reshoot a lot of scenes,” Wells says now. Other insights: The straitlaced Professor was the funniest person to hang with; goofy Gilligan was the most serious, but a kind and beloved friend.
Wells at home, in a file photo, and as a member of"Gilligan's Island," the CBS show that made her a household name.
