Regarding her acting abilities, I was hoping
someone would chime in to help with links, which Is why I made it a question, not statement of opinion, thanks for supplying them.
I liked
her, just not the phony Hollywood character she was hired to play.

Not for anything, but you're losing me
big time on on that superficial looks-thang.
Again, not for anything, but, regarding her teeth...I will
"almost" (hope all that clarifies that word as merely an opinion) bet the farm she is keeping her teeth like that so she can be taken more seriously as an actress than she was with her
"I hope she bends over a little bit to the left this time in this scene in that dress" actress from GI...

I tend to judge others by their inside, not their outside, so I can pretty much stomach looking at anyone different than me, including
poor toothless people!

WHOA! I think I unintentionally rubbed a big Bob Denver/Gilligan's Island/Dallas/Tina Louise fan the wrong way here and I think you are nitpicking and outing
strictly because of it!
I understand fan worship, unfortunately, they wouldn't give you/us even half of what you/we give them...perhaps that's why some love them so!?
Or...maybe it looked like I was trying to make potential drug-sters look like they were trying to spread it to the masses?
This
ain't my first post wherein I violated grammar and punctuation rules, yet it's the first one that somebody held a microscope to (something tells me I may live to regret that statement!).
I really shouldn't complain though, as I did put two commas in the wrong place, I left a couple of dangling participles, and there's also a missing period you didn't catch...WHEW....
All in fun here, but whenever I see Muphry's Law being somewhat violated, I have to respond (and hope I don't further violate it myself in the process!)...don't forget...you were the one who raised the punctuation bar:
Your entries;
"Dallas," - I think the comma should have been outside of the quotes.
I knew what you meant though and had I saw you (or anyone else) do any of these or the following ones in another thread, I would have never-ever mentioned them, even if I didn't agree with you!
Tina Louise as Julie Gray on "Dallas" - potentially missing some sort of punctuation at the end like a colon, for one (I knew it was the end of a sentence though, and what you actually meant!).
Dallas | Julie explains her friendship with Jock - potentially missing some sort of punctuation at the end (I knew it was the end of a sentence though and what you actually meant!).
I DREAM OF JEANNIE WITH BOB DENVER+larry hagman - no caps for LH? (I knew it was a proper name though and what you actually meant!).
Personal taste, I guess, of inserting a "
+" in between words, proper or not, with no spacing, but again, I knew what you meant.
Plus, it's spelled horizontally and not
vertically... and it would be referring to a drug store.
I haven't seen the episode in at least 27 years when it was on Nick, so I'm surprised I remembered that it even said Drugs at all, let alone remembering if it were horizontal or vertical... very, very critical point(!) though in regards to BD, TL, and the thread itself...am I discredited yet!
I always thought that when two words have an ellipsis in between them (
vertically... and), there are no spaces between the first or last "
."
Your first "
." following the correction of
vertically, is correct. However...the distance between the last "
." and right before the "and" was just a tad superfluous.

What does #1 and #2 have to do with anything of
actual importance!? More than likely, you didn't like my opinion!
#3 Max Schulman wrote the episode, so only he and the location manager could emphatically deny the drug reference.
Also remember that emphatically is not a always a synonym for truthfully.
There are a couple of ways that
Drugs sign could have intentionally gotten there and there's a fair chance they wouldn't have been referencing Marijuana or Heroin per se, however...legal sedatives (DRUGS) like Barbiturates (sleeping pills) were quite popular then for people who work long stressful hours...Hollywood?...nah.
It
could have been a modern variation of one of those types of verbal/visual
in-jokes that have been flourishing the planet since the dawn of man.
Toilets and beds are a little more obvious than a strategically placed sign, especially/whether or not (if) the censors or the other powers that be had no clue about anything but a martini.
Please note: I only brought up the drug thing again because you sounded so sure, I am not attacking drug usage of any kind here...am I discredited yet?!
BTW, I said I was probably stretching it in regards to the transitioning
Jackpot scene, not the Drugs one, and, it was a joke!
Jackpot could be the name of a strain, is what I meant, and yes I know there were little or no named strains then, and they probably didn't even
use the term strain in regards to pot.
Fun Fact: Denver was arrested for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia in his car in February 1971. He pleaded no contest for a reduced sentence of a $250 fine.
In 1962 Billy Gray from
Father Knows Best was busted for pot possession.

IIRC, I didn't say they looked so much alike, nobody, even
mom couldn't tell them apart.
Let me clarify further...I wasn't inferring that they resembled each other in every single frame, just out of the whole first courtroom sequence, there were about 7-10 frames wherein to me, he did ...
those would be the ones that someone painstakingly screenshots, then posts on the net, and is close enough to each other to get a lot of hits and likes (mostly from non-BD fans of course!).
.
Oswald was an evil character, I can see why you don't want to link the two.
In my almost 70 years, I've been told I looked like over 30 different people, some of which had completely different colored hair, and most even
had hair!
Be careful of blind fan worship, as they never quite seem to genuinely return the favor, unless of course it's an act for photo shoots, selfies, or a nice-quick fake positive memory for their fans.
Some interesting stuff in this link regarding GI and the cast:
The music and lyrics for the theme song, "The Ballad of Gilligan’s Isle", were written by Sherwood Schwartz and George Wyle.
One version was used for the first season and another for the second and third seasons.
In the original song, the Professor and Mary Ann, originally considered "second-billed co-stars", were referred to as "the rest", but with the growing popularity of those characters, their names were inserted into the lyrics.
The Gilligan theme song underwent this one major change due to star Bob Denver, who personally went to the studio executives and asked that Johnson and Wells be added to the theme song's opening credits.
When the studio at first refused, saying it would be too expensive to reshoot, Denver insisted, even going so far as to state that if Johnson and Wells were not included, he wanted his name out of the song, as well. The studio caved in, and "the Professor and Mary Ann" were added.
