A Blog for Writers: Women and Adversity, Vanna White
Known since 1982 for her poise, elegance and beauty as co-host of Wheel of Fortune, Vanna White has a connection to the publishing industry. She co-wrote with Patricia Romanowski her authobiography, “Vanna Speaks” in 1987.
A native of North Myrtle Beach, S.C., Vanna reveals the pride she has of her roots. She continues to connect with her hometown through the display of items she donated to the North Myrtle Beach Area Historical Museum. I have covered stories about the museum and have seen the display so decided to contact Vanna and ask her to participate in my blog. With her signature grace, she agreed.
Question 1: Why did you decide to write “Vanna Speaks”?
Vanna: I decided to write my book because for so many years on Wheel, I hardly spoke and people kept wanting to know more about me, so I decided to write about my life to share with them.
Question 2: What was the biggest obstacle you had to face when you decided to write it?
Vanna: It wasn’t that hard for me because Warner Books came to me, so I had a publisher and a ghostwriter to help me.
Question 3: What was the most difficult part of writing the book?
Vanna: To tell “all.” I’m a very private person so it’s hard to share difficult times in your life with other people, but I wanted people to know that I go through the same things that everyone goes through.
Question 4: Do you plan to write another book?
Vanna: Not at this time but possibly down the road.
Vanna’s answers indicate she has stayed grounded even though she is one of the most recognized women int he world. Her biography is at

Unquestionably believe that which you stated. Your favorite justification appeared to be on the internet the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while people consider worries that they plainly do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
Thank you.
