In an amusing coincidence, her episode (#3575D) was scheduled for and aired on June 20, 1980, considered by some fans to have been a sad day on another network. On May 19, 1980, Vanna appeared as a contestant during a taping of The Price Is Right while she was the fourth player called down (and the first to bid that day), she never left Contestant's Row. During the closing chat on September 6, 2004, White wished a happy birthday to former South Carolina real estate agent Herbert White, whom she had treated as her father following Miguel's departure.
When Vanna was a child, her biological father (Miguel Angel Rosich) left the family.
