Vanna survived the devastating losses of her mother Joan Marie Rosich, and then boyfriend John Gibson. Was married for 11 years to restaurateur George Santo Pietro. From that marriage, Vanna is the mother of two children Nicholas & Giovanna (named after Vanna & George). Plus when not turning/touching letters on the puzzleboard, Vanna is also an expert crocheter, in fact she owns her own line of yarn called "Vanna's Choice". In the 80s & 90s Vanna was the spokeswoman for Spring Air mattress. Although likely unintentional, Vanna also made it into the Guinness Book of World Records for being the most frequent clapper on television, averaging 720 claps per show, and clapping more than 28,000 times a season. Another one of Vanna's trademarks on Wheel is her huge wardrobe and many hairstyles over the years. In 1993 she sued Samsonite over a TV commercial that featured a gynoid hosting Wheel of Fortune in 2023, suggesting that Samsonite products can outlast people. Because the robot had a big blonde bouffant and turned letters, it was implied to be an unauthorized spoof of Vanna's role. The courts ruled in favor of Vanna White, determining Samsonite intentionally used her image without permission. 2ff7e9595c
