Tina Louise, famous for her role in "Gilligan's Island," opens up about her troubled childhood in her newly released audio memoir. She discusses her feelings of loneliness after being sent away to boarding school at a young age, reflecting on her absence from her mother's life until she was eleven. Louise expresses her unresolved anger and complicated dynamics with her mother, particularly in context to her mother's reaction to the memoir. Her recollections portray boarding school as a harsh experience filled with bullying and emotional turmoil, providing deeper insights into her formative years.
I didn't live with my mother until I was 11... I kept all of that inside of me. And then, I developed anger.
I live in the present, but I've never dealt with what happened to me. When the book first came out, my mother was alive.
I didn't want to be there right from the start... It was like 'Lord of the Flies' - nobody wanted to be there.
I remember I kept trying to catch a very bad cold so that I could hardly speak, so I could leave this place.
