Talent is an elusive quality to define, but Vanna White has got it in full-figured spades. How else can we account for the long-running success of the game show Wheel of Fortune (1982)?

Talent is an elusive quality to define, but Vanna White has got it in full-figured spades. How else can we account for the long-running success of the game show Wheel of Fortune (1982)? Her name is synonymous with beauty, grace, and game show royalty. The ever-delectable and deceptively demure Ms. White makes it all look so easy. Born in Conway, South Carolina, Vanna got her start as a pageant princess in the Miss Georgia USA competition. She attended The Atlanta School of Fashion and Design and worked as a model, but in 1979, the voluptuous Vanna decided to use her ass-ets to get ahead, moving to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. She promptly appeared in Gypsy Angels (1980), a film that included some lovemaking and a sultry striptease, before she became the host of everyone's favorite game show. Speaking nary a word, perched on medium-height heels, she confidently stalks the length of the Wheel of Fortune playing board and flips letters to reveal a secret word or phrase. The legions of male fans who are riveted to every twist of Vanna's hips, to every flounce of her full-frontal lobes, to every flip of her flouncy coiffure know that the secret to the show's success is Vanna herself. Fully clothed, without saying a word, she has mesmerized a nation. Now that's talent! Vanna guest-starred on several TV shows. More importantly, Playboy recognized Vanna's allure and featured the buxom blonde in a 1987 issue wearing see-through lingerie. Every man-a loves Vanna!
