Vanna White as a 1981 Mint 400 Girl

Long before she was known for turning numbers on Wheel of Fortune in an array of gorgeous evening gowns, Vanna White was a Mint 400 Girl. The 4/17/81 issue of the Vegas Visitor included the gorgeous photo of the young Ms. White along with the following caption:

“VIVACIOUS VANNA WHITE – A Los Angeles lass was named one of the “Girls of the Mint 400,” the annual desert racing classic to take place April 30 thru May 3 sponsored by the Mint Hotel & Casino. Vanna is one of five beautiful young ladies to be on hand for the richest off-road race in the world.”
