Russell Johnson in Gilligan's Island

Russell Johnson, the actor whose genius Professor Roy Hinkley was always one coconut away from inventing a way off "Gilligan’s Island," has died of natural causes. He was 89.

Dawn Wells, who played fellow castaway Mary Ann, said her friend passed away this morning after being in hospice for a short period of time.

"Russell was 100 percent a gentleman," she told "The Insider." "A genuine, dear, wonderful man."
