Ginger Rogers
As guest stars go, The Love Boat promised something for everyone - including Ginger putting the moves on Douglas Fairbanks Jr.
in one 1979 episode. Yet Jill Whelan, who played Vicki, wasn't intimidated by such legends. "I started on the show when I was 11, too young to understand the enormity of the people we were working with."
Kathy Bates
For her TV debut, the future star of Misery played a newlywed bride who "every time we wanted to consummate our marriage, something kept getting in the way," Kathy recalled of the 1978 episode. "He had a rash [or] I went ashore in Mexico and got on the wrong boat!"
Jane Wyman

Joan Fontaine
"One quality we had was surprise," said the late Gavin MacLeod about the appearance of such stars as the Oscar winner for 1941's Suspicion - who came aboard in 1981 as a woman trying to help an old flame.
