We're gonna ignore the fact that Sarah Palin is 45 today and turn attention to a real heroine: Tina Louise, who turns 75.
The Brooklyn-born model, singer and actress loathed her role as Ginger Grant on "Gilligan's Island" (1964-1967), but I sure loved her for it. Who knew the part was turned down by Jayne Mansfield? In 2005, TV Land ranked her second only to Heather Locklear as TV's greatest all-time sex symbol. Girl, hold your head high.
I saw her several years ago at an art opening in Chelsea and while weathered, she was certainly recognizable. That was right cool.
P.S. Jennifer Aniston is 40 today. Hey, she has a hit movie with the man-hating "He's Just Not That Into You," which almost makes up for the fact that she's dating mommy's boy John Mayer.
