Wheel of Fortune legend Vanna White<\/p>\n
The 68-year-old famed letter-turner spends two hours browsing fittings for each episode before getting her hair done and putting makeup on her face.<\/p>\n
She told E! News: “I show up here at seven in the morning. I try on 30 to 40 dresses for fittings for the show, and then I go into hair and makeup at about 8:30.”<\/p>\n
Vanna then does a “few interviews” before her first taping begins at 11.30 and then goes on to record “many, many shows”.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, the star – who has co-hosted Wheel of Fortune since 1982 – made heads spin with her work schedule, revealing she gets 331 days off a year.<\/p>\n
\t\t\t <\/p>\n
\nVanna previously told the Elvis Duran Show: \u201cWe film about 34 days a year. That\u2019s it. Six shows a day.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe TV personality – who co-hosts Wheel of Fortune and Celebrity Wheel of Fortune with 50 year old Ryan Seacrest – said she now does not even have to flip over letters.<\/p>\n
\nExplaining the production\u2019s switch, Vanna said: “First, I physically turn the letters, and then I went to touch the letters, and now, a couple of years ago, they changed the set where, honestly, I don\u2019t even have to touch the letters.<\/p>\n
\n“There\u2019s a laser up there, and the motion of my hand that gets near the letter, it will light up.”<\/p>\n
\nVanna previously revealed that for 40 years, fans have asked her the same question when they meet her.<\/p>\n
\nIn April, she told Collider.com: “[They say], ‘Can I buy a vowel?’ And I love it. <\/p>\n
\n“And 42 years later, vowels have not changed price! $250 \u2014 no inflation!”<\/p>\n
\nVanna – who has two children, 31-year-old real estate agent son Nikko, and 28-year-old tattoo artist daughter Gigi, with her 78-year-old ex-husband, former film producer George Santo Pietro – has been described as having a comforting presence.<\/p>\n
\nAnd she always aims to put the Wheel of Fortune contestants at ease by telling them to “pretend like you’re in your living room\u201d.<\/p>\n
\nSpeaking about how the contenders feel on the show, Vanna said: “People aren\u2019t familiar with TV and all the cameras we have. <\/p>\n
\n“There are 200 people in the audience and they don’t want to make a fool of themselves on TV. And it’s hard! <\/p>\n
\n“When you\u2019re standing at home in your living room, it\u2019s always your turn. <\/p>\n
\n“When you’re there, the puzzle board is like 20 feet away, and, ‘Oh my gosh \u2014 where am I?’<\/p>\n
\n“They do quite well considering the circumstances. <\/p>\n
\n“When I first get to work in the morning, I go in and say hello to them when they’re all getting in.<\/p>\n
\n “I say, ‘Buy vowels, don’t be nervous, and pretend like you’re in your living room.\u2019<\/p>\n
\n “I give them a little pep talk before they go on.”<\/p>\n
