Trivia: Who is the title character’s main romantic interest in “Gidget”?
Moondoggie
Arthur
Sunfish
Loverboy
The correct answer is Moondoggie
So why is this answer correct? : Moondoggie is a prominent figure in the Gidget universe, first as the title character’s friend, then as her boyfriend, and then (spoiler!) as her husband. In the 1959 film “Gidget” and its two sequels, “Gidget Goes Hawaiian” and “Gidget Goes to Rome,” he’s played by teen heartthrob James Darren. While Gidget is one of Sandra Dee’s most iconic roles, she only stuck around for the first one — the next two Gidgets were played by Deborah Walley and Cindy Carol, respectively. Sally Field also famously played the character on the 1965 sitcom, “Gidget.”
