Here’s a combination post! Gilligan, who — along with the Skipper and passengers of the S.S. Minnow — had a very unlucky 3-hour tour. In the background, you can kind of see @forestsedge_studios prepping for the shoot on the beach. That’s my Photographer Friday post for the week! 😄

Remember that time when the Skipper explained to Ginger what a #DutchOven really meant? 🛏️
Today we remember Alan Hale Jr. on his birthday 🎉 He would've been 105 today 💕 He's a legend in film starting his acting career on stage back in 1931 yet many knew him best as The Skipper on Gilligan's Island! What do you remember him for?

I finished it! I'm 95% happy with it, but I'm My own worst critic. And considering that this is one of my first full color, colored pencil portraits, I think I did pretty good. The more I do, the better I will get. #drawing #coloredpencil #artist #atc #gilligansisland
I started something new today. It's taking me longer than I thought. How is it coming out so far? I'm pretty happy with it, given that I have never really done a color realistic portrait before, let alone a tiny color portrait. #aceo #atc #drawing #coloredpencil #gilligansisland
Gilligan's Island Was Almost Marooned By The Kennedy Assassination In 1988's "Inside Gilligan's Island: From Creation to Syndication," Creator/Producer Sherwood Schwarz recounted , "Marooned" was scheduled to wrap shooting in Honolulu Harbor on November 23, 1963. "Even though that was our last day of location filming, the scene at Honolulu Harbor was to be the very first sequence in the 'Gilligan's Island' pilot, where the S.S. Minnow leaves on its fateful excursion," he explained. With such a pivotal scene left to finish and the production nearly out of time and money alike, there was little room for error. Then the unthinkable happened.
As production continued in Moloaa Bay on November 22, "somebody came running down to our company on the beach, claiming he had just heard a disc jockey on the radio say that President Kennedy had been shot," Schwartz remembered. And while he and his crew were skeptical at first (being "thousands of miles from the mainland" only made the situation seem that much more implausible, as he explained), "Gradually the realization dawned that this was not simply a rumor. President Kennedy had indeed been shot." Despite finding it "incredibly difficult to continue work" as the news trickled in that Kennedy had died and Lyndon Johnson had been sworn in as the next U.S. President, Schwartz and his team had little choice but to finish that day's shoot as planned and move on to their hotels in Oahu. However, when they arrived to film in Honolulu Harbor the next day, they learned that it and other U.S. naval and military installations would be shut down for the entire weekend "as a period of mourning for President Kennedy." The problem was, the "Gilligan's Island" cast and crew were already slated to fly back to Los Angeles before things would open up again the following week. Local authorities agreed to allow Schwartz to film in Honolulu Harbor on November 25 instead, before pushing it back a day after the 25th was declared "the official day of mourning." But keeping the cast and crew on for an additional two days required a "considerable" amount of money, Schwartz noted, and with the pilot's budget "already overextended" he was trapped between a rock and a hard place. Fortunately for him, producer Hunt Stromberg Jr. and CBS executive Robert Lewine were "delighted" by what they had seen of the episode during filming, so they agreed to covered the extended costs. No doubt, all involved parties were extra accommodating in light of the unprecedented circumstances. Schwartz himself could vividly remember watching the fallout of the Kennedy assassination from afar:
"It was there, in the lobbies of our hotels in Honolulu, that we watched on live television while the next episode in a violent drama unfolded. We could scarcely believe our eyes as we watched Jack Ruby pump those bullets into Lee Harvey Oswald. Again, the distance from the United States made everything seem more unbelievable, more bizarre." The surreality of the circumstances is all the more jarring when juxtaposed with the absolute silliness of the "Gilligan's Island" pilot and the series at large. As if all that wasn't enough, "Marooned" wouldn't air for nearly another 30 years after CBS decided to retool the show, only retaining four actors — Bob Denver (Gilligan), Alan Hale Jr. (The Skipper), and Jim Backus and Natalie Schafer (the Howells) — who starred in the episode. Those who keep a sharp eye out may catch that the flags in the background of the scenes shot at Honolulu Harbor are all flying at half-staff — a small, sobering reminder of the terrible events that transpired off-camera.
