Wow. But the 1960s network censors would have never allowed an outfit like that on TV at that time. Barbara Eden wasn’t even allowed to show her navel in her I Dream of Jennie outfit.
Plus it would have been too much competition for Tina Louise.

TIL Raquel Welch wanted to be Mary Ann.

Would make no sense that the she would be “the girl next door” when they had the Ginger character.

I think they could have made room for one more passenger that day.

This would have ended the Ginger vs Mary Ann debate once and for all.

If I’d been the casting agent knowing she was going to be stuck in that wardrobe every episode? She’d gotten the part. However, it would have created a problem (I’m sure) with Tina Louise cast as Ginger as well as Dawn Wells not being present to represent the Yin and Yang.

nothing against Dawn Wells, amazing person, but had Raquel been cast, the show would have run 20 years

Raquel Welch would be like a ginger/Mary ann mashup

I think her accent was the reason she was allowed to go on to a better career.

Mary was a low-key hottie. Raquel was a bit much for such a role.

Well, if they were set on Tina Louise you know they wouldn’t have considered that. She would have upstaged Tina every time.

WTF is wrong with her feet?
Oh lordy!
Get a boat…
My god!
Way too much attitude to play Mary ann
She looks good
But she’s no Mary Ann
