Croatian?

[edit]

Rosic is a Croatian name, but on this site, it says she's of Spanish, Italian and German descent. So, it is possible that her grand father was a German with a Croatian name, (croatian ancestry), who knows how distant this is.

Christopher George?

[edit]

I'm changing the wording in this section. There's nothing to corroborate any relationship between Vanna White and Christopher George, but according to her, that's what her mother told her. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stembark (talkcontribs) 19:29, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I assume this sentence "According to White, although George was not a biological relation of hers, her mother grew up with his family and, years later in Los Angeles, he and his wife took her under their wing." means they took Vanna White under their wing and not her mother but it isn't clear. 94.126.214.30 (talk) 17:02, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Preview Photo

[edit]

Please see how VW's photo is presented in a preview pane.

For example, go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Didn%27t_Start_the_Fire and hover over her name.

I'm only seeing her torso.

Incomplete sentence

[edit]

It looks like someone's added this incomplete sentence to the "Television, motion picture, and other media appearances" section:

Goddess of Love, in which she played Venus; Betsy Palmer co-starred as Juno; it scored 12% of the Audience Vote on Rotten Tomatoes.

I don't know what it means, or I'd fix it. – AndyFielding (talk) 08:59, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Christopher George

[edit]

Her book "Vanna Speaks" indicates that Vanna's mother got to know George by working at a Myrtle Beach restaurant owned by George's parents (p. 26). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stembark (talkcontribs) 02:32, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Novelty Record

[edit]

I have a four-album set of hourly radio programs dated September 1986 for a show called John Lander's Hit Music USA. On one album, the show introduces a novelty song by Vanna White in the style of "Telephone Man" by Meri Wilson, about her encounter with a meter reader. It might even be a remake of another Wilson novelty song called "Peter the Meter Reader". I cannot find anything on the Internet about this song. Any Vanna White fans out there know anything about it? She was already on the Wheel of Fortune when it was released. Shocking Blue (talk) 10:15, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
