Survivor Stories with Dawn Wells

Survivor Stories with Dawn Wells (2013)

*** (out of 4)

Entertaining five-minute featurette that can be found on the Shout Factory! release of THE TOWN THAT DREADED SUNDOWN. Actress Dawn Wells discusses the direction she wanted her career to take after leaving Gilligan's Island and how she ended up working with director Charles B. Pierce on WINTERHAWK and how she got the job in this film. From that point she talks about trying to meet the real-life woman who she played in the film but got turned down. She also talks about a real incident while filming where she thought she was going to get attacked by a dog. Overall this is a pretty fun little interview but one wishes it had gone on a tad bit longer. I'm not sure if they could have gotten into other aspects of her career or if they just wanted to mainly focus on THE TOWN THAT DREADED SUNDOWN. Either way, fans of that film should be entertained even without too many stories being told here.
