Executive summary: Letter turner, Wheel of Fortune

Vanna White was a high school cheerleader, and her aunt and uncle were television actors (Christopher George of Rat Patrol and Lynda Day George of Mission: Impossible), so young Vanna was naturally inclined to try show business. In 1980, White played the female lead -- a young stripper in love with an amnesiac -- in an Alan Smithee film, Gypsy Angels. She then had tiny roles in her uncle's low-budget thriller, Graduation Day, and the somewhat-remembered Looker.

White had worked as a hand model, her lovely fingers pointing toward the product being sold, and she was a natural to replace Susan Stafford as Wheel of Fortune's letter-turner in 1982. When the Wheel added a prime time version in 1983, White became a top celebrity. She was also the object of a Weird Al Yankovic song, 'Stuck In A Closet With Vanna White'. On Wheel of Fortune, the letters are now electrically illuminated when White touches them, so it's no longer correct to refer to her as the show's letter-turner. 'It's not the most intellectual job in the world... but I do have to know the letters'.
