Uh-Oh! Vanna White"s Dress Gets Caught During a Taping of "Wheel of Fortune"
After 35 years on the air,Wheel of Fortunes letter-turner and co-host Vanna White is sharing her thoughts about retirement, and about that time she was on the cover ofPlayboy.
In an interview with Fox News, the 60-year-old says she was low on money and too embarrassed to ask my dad for rent money when she posed for the photos.
I was young and I wanted to do it on my own, White says. So, I did these lingerie shots and from the moment I said I would do them, I thought, I shouldnt be doing this, but Im not going to ask my dad for money, so Im just going to do it!"
White remembers the pictures only came out when she had reached a certain level of fame after snagging the job onWheel of Fortune.
Hugh Hefner then bought those pictures, she says. Hes the one who put me on the cover of the magazine. I didnt do it for Playboy.

Never do anything you dont want to do, adds White. Listen to your instincts and follow it. It was a great lesson to learn, but what can I say? I did something I shouldnt have.
She was not fired and went on to wear over 6,500 dresses on the show Never the same one twice, she says.
White says she still doesnt know the secret toWheel of Fortunes success, saying, I still dont have an answer! I really dont. Its just one of those things that every once in a while, everything falls into place its an escape.
Her own personal success hit her in a big way, telling Fox News she remembers seeing herself on the cover of a magazine when it hit her.
I was on the cover of Newsweek, she remembers. That was the moment for me. The other one was when I got my star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. When I first moved to L.A., I went walking down the Hollywood Walk of Fame and I would tell myself, One day Im going to have my own star."
Despite achieving her dreams, white says she doesnt see herself retiring soon.
Im sure I will one day, she says. But Im enjoying my job so much. I dont want to retire. I hope to continue doing it for as long as I can.
