In-universe information |
Think Gidget and you think of the actors who portrayed her on the big and small screen, beginning with Sandra Dee in the 1959 film. Dee was so indelible in the role that, according to Zuckerman, somebody called Kathy's husband, Marvin, when Dee died and said, “I'm so sorry to hear about your wife.”
Sandra Dee was borrowed from Universal-International to appear as Gidget. Gidget was the first starring role for Dee, who became one of the most popular teenaged actresses of the late 1950s and early 1960s.
Why didn't Sandra Dee come back to play Gidget? Sandra Dee was under contract to Universal Studios. She was loaned out to Columbia Studios to play Gidget in the first movie.
In an interview included on the Season One DVD release, Field said that she thoroughly enjoyed Gidget but hated The Flying Nun because she was not treated with respect by the show's directors. Field was then typecast, finding respectable roles difficult to obtain.
