Sad news broke thatGilligan’s Islandstar Dawn Wells had passed away due to complications from COVID-19 (viaPeople).
The 82-year-old is remembered most from playing Mary Ann Summers on the iconic show.
Given her decades working in Hollywood, one might assume Wells' net worth amounted to quite a fortune.

Unfortunately, the Nevada-born actress passed away without much money to her name.
She also reportedly never recovered from the 2008 recession, and required financial assistance as a result.
According toMarket Watch, Wells also owed the IRS thousands of dollars.

Ultimately, the GoFundMe efforts raised over $205,000 for the star, but this was two years ago.
At the time, Wells shared her gratitude on Facebook, writing, “Wow!
In a recent conversation with him I remarked Where did the time go?
I don’t know how this happened” (viaUSA Today).
Today, according toCelebrity Net Worth, Wells would only be worth $50,000.
