How Old is Vanna White?
Vanna Marie Rosich, the daughter of Joan Marie and Miguel Angel Rosich, came into this world in Conway, South Carolina on February 18, 1957, to be known as Vanna White. Her dad has mixed Croatian and Puerto Rican ancestry. Yet, Vanna’s mother remarried Herbert Stackley White Jr. after their divorce, and Vanna inherited his surname. A real estate agent in the North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina area was her stepfather.
Career
Following her mother’s passing, Vanna White went back to her job as a waitress in Los Angeles. Along the way, she scored bit parts in films like “Looker” (1981) and “Graduation Day” (1981). Vanna made an appearance on an episode of “Star of the Family” in 1982. She was selected among 200 hopefuls to join the game show as a co-host and letter turner after her audition for “Wheel of Fortune” in November.
“Wheel of Fortune” originally welcomed Vanna on December 13, 1982. Ever since then, she has been hosting the show during the day. When the show airs in the evenings, she and Pat Sajak co-host it.
Following the September 1983 airing of a syndicated edition of “Wheel of Fortune,” Vanna White’s fame started to soar. The show had 30 million viewers and $100 million in earnings by 1986. Forty million people had tuned in by 1999.
The biography “Vanna Speaks” was released by Vanna in May 1987. Her immense fame helped propel the book to the top of the bestseller list.
In the 1988 film “Goddess of Love,” Vanna played the part of “Venus.” The film “Goddess of Love” had its television premiere on “NBC.” Her performance was not well-received, regrettably. She was a guest timekeeper on “WrestleMania IV” that same year as well.
In the ’90s, Vanna provided her voice to two popular animated TV shows. “The Real Story of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” was an animated television special that aired in Canada in 1992, and “Captain Planet and the Planeteers” was an American animated television series that aired from 1990 to 1996.

She later appeared in cameos on other episodes, including “Full House,” “Simon and Simon,” “The King of Queens,” “227,” “L.A. Law,” and “Super Mario Bros. Super Show.” In addition, she made an appearance on “Married…With Children” as a guest star. She appeared in “Fresh Off the Boat” as a guest star in 2017.

Shortly after the show was taped, she experienced a miscarriage. Divorce papers were filed in November 2002.
In the 1980s, she was engaged to John Gibson, a former Playgirl centerfold and Chippendales dancer turned actor. A plane disaster in 1986 took Gibson’s life.
Michael Kaye was the senior partner of a huge southern California-based leveraged buyout fund, and White was engaged to him from 2004 until 2006. They never tied the knot.
