Vanna White wasn’t always standing on a fortune.
The beloved and beautiful “Wheel of Fortune” hostess, 60, revealed in a recent Fox News interview
that she had been dealing with financial struggles and was “too
embarrassed to ask [her dad] for rent money,” when she made the decision
to appear on the 1987 cover of Playboy.
White, who grew into fame five years prior after being offered the
position on the popular daytime game show, said without the help from
Hugh Hefner, she wouldn’t have had the guts to go through with the plan.
“Hugh Hefner bought those pictures,” she said. “He’s the one who put me
on the cover of the magazine... I didn’t do it for Playboy.”
One year before the issue released, White lost her then-fiancé,
Playgirl centerfold and actor John Gibson in a sudden plane crash.
As the famed TV personality prepares for her 35th anniversary on game
show, she hopes to leave the difficult times of her past behind.
“I did these lingerie shots and from the moment I said I would do them, I thought, ‘I shouldn’t be doing this,’” she added.
“Never do anything you don’t want to do ... Listen to your instincts and
follow it. It was a great lesson to learn, but what can I say? I did
something I shouldn’t have."
When dishing on her immense success on “Wheel,” White admitted that she’s still unsure of how it all happened.
