Larue Wilson is a fictional character introduced in the Frederick Kohner novel Gidget, the Little Girl with Big Ideas (1957).

Larue is one year older than I and in the possession of a genuine driver's licence as well as a jazzed up Ford vintage 1930.

Her love life is defunct—unless you believe my brother in law who figures Larue is sublimating with horses.

[citation needed] In the television sitcom Gidget, Larue is played by Lynette Winter.

She often joins her on her trips to the beach, but is fair-skinned, never wearing anything too revealing and sporting a large hat to protect against the sunlight.
