Yes, I was sad to hear the news about Dawn Wells (My Mary Ann, after school with the door locked and my little portable TV tuned in to whatever rerun)
But you know, it wasn't always about that. Mary Ann was sweet and nice and that made her more attractive, like that super pretty girl who lived down the street
who would always find the time to talk with you while the others stuck their noses in the air and pushed you aside.
Mary Ann was hot, but she was also warm, and I think at least part of that had to do with the way Dawn Wells portrayed her.
