If the radiator fan never came on you should check the radiator thermoswitch, its a brass plug that actuates the fans, located on the upper left side of the radiator as you face the front of the car. There are two wire leads going into it. This part is easily replaced, when the engine is stone cold you'll lose a negligable amount of coolant when you put a new one in there. I have had several of them fail over time.
If the coolant is a fresh looking green with no foam or oil in it, I would discount the head gasket theory.
Check with sobstory.com, I think thermoswitches are under $10. Its worth a shot before you spend the big bucks. Good luck.
