Bob Denver, whose portrayal of goofy castaway Gilligan on the 1960s TV show "Gilligan's Island" made him an iconic figure to generations of TV viewers, has died. He was 70.

Good-bye lil' buddy!

Very sad news! When my husbands cell phone rings it plays the theme song from Gilligans Island. He often answers it "Gilligan Here"........ |cry|

Loved that show when I was a kid...

R.I.P. lil buddy |cry|

Too bad..
I loved that show too when I was a little kid

yeah I used to love that show too...did they ever get off the island?

didn't realize he was so fucking old :) looked young

I don't think anyone played the happy village idiot as well as he did. Maybe he hasn't done much for a few decades but we all seem to remember him well. See ya little buddy.

I heard an interview with him this morning...he said he didn't mind eveyrone coming up to him and wanting to meet him...he said he enjoyed it because people were always happy to see him

how many other stars are like that?

And he smoked weed till the end :) Vickie claims he is now in a place where you can pluck joints from trees now :)

Very sad news, was a great show, great actor. Seems they did get off the island if I remember right.

The TV said he died of complications during cancer treatments.
Did anyone else hear differently?

I had many many happy hours as a kid watching that show.

I heard the same thing Tortus...cance treatments...but he did have a triple by pass earlier this year but they said is was unrelated

that's a very sad news..RIP Bob

I wonder if his casket will be made from bamboo and coconut shells?

That would be sorta cool!
