Vanna White's forbidden Playboy cover

Dela

Vanna White, national treasure best known as the longtime cohost of Wheel of Fortune, had to pay her bills pre-fame with some jobs she isn't particularly proud of (like many aspiring stars!). In 1982, just before she landed her role on Wheel of Fortune, Vanna White modeled for lingerie catalogs. She beat out 200 other models, earning her spot on Wheel later that year. In 1987, however, at a career peak - those photos came back around. Her "friend" Hugh Hefner had purchased private photos of Vanna White and put her on the cover of Playboy Magazine against her wishes.
