Natalie SchaferNatalie the Rosebush - The name of a rose bush planted in the garden of actress Dawn Wells who played Mary Ann, a shipwreck survivor on the sitcom GILLIGAN'S ISLAND/CBS/1964-67. When Natalie Schafer, who played Lovey Howell, one of the castaways on the series passed away, Dawn Wells asked for something from her estate by which to remember her friend. With the help of her mother and some friends, Wells dug up some of Natalie's favorite roses. Now, when Dawn walks by one of the transplanted rose bushes, she always says "Hi, Nat."
