    LOS ANGELES - Bob Denver, whose portrayal of goofy first mate Gilligan on the 1960s television show "Gilligan's Island," made him an iconic figure to generations of TV viewers, has died, his agent confirmed Tuesday. He was 70.


    Denver, who underwent quadruple heart bypass surgery earlier this year, died at Wake Forest University Baptist Hospital in North Carolina, according to agent Mike Eisenstadt. Denver's death was first reported by "Entertainment Tonight."

    "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis", to be exact. Maynard G. Krebs is the role I remember Denver for...never was much for Gilligan.

    Gilligan: Probably the only person actually qualified to answer the age old question: Ginger or Mary Ann?
    The crew of the Minnow has gone home. Good luck Little Buddy.

    He played the role of Gilligan so well he never recovered from it to play much of anything else. How in the world did such a thin guy have heart trouble?
