      That was mostly the decision of the game show's producers and not Vannas. They would dress her the way they wanted. The 80s looks on tv were pretty bad. Women had much more natural beauty on their own. The tv people probably thought Vanna naturally looked too sexy so they changed her as network tv was trying to be ultra-conservative in the 80s. It wasn't a pleasant time. Nicer looks on women didn't really return until the late 90s.

    I'm calling bullshit on Billy Crystal and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Crystal had a starring role in "Soap" back in the 70's. You state right in your video that he appeared on game shows as a celebrity panelist. As for Arnold, he had already made a name for himself as a body building champion and I believe he had been in two movies by then as well.

    I never knew that Vanna White, the hostess of "Wheel of Fortune" (one of my favorite game shows), was on "The Price is Right" (another one of my favorite game shows) three years before she was made into a household name.
    Behind-the-scenes connections between game shows just amaze me.
    In fact, after Charlie O'Donnell died, two of the announcers who took over for him before Jim Thornton took over announcing duties on "Wheel of Fortune" were Johnny Gilbert (the announcer of "Jeopardy!") and Rich Fields (the announcer of "The Price is Right" at the time).

    • @KnickKnack07
      @KnickKnack07 5 років тому

      MaeNoEast...Well, that's not necessarily true. It isn't as if game shows, even back then, were filed with A-list celebrities. They were up and coming celebrities (like Crystal), has beens, and fringe celebrities. Just like today's game show celebrities. Back then, you also had another category of Soap Opera actors. But that sort of fits in with fringe celebrities. Billy Crystal was on those shows because he WASN'T that popular after Soap went off the air, and he wanted to do anything both for a paycheck and to stay visible. (He had to take a tiny role as a mime in This is Spinal Tap. So it isn't as if he was in huge demand between Soap and Saturday Night Live.)
      That being said...he still WAS the celebrity player and not a contestant, so including him in this video is just plain stupid.

      Erick Horton; Chris H; Stick Man; agree with You living at the time also. Billy was already a known stand-up comedian before Soap, but he became more known in more households through his role on that series. Don't agree he was a "C" list celebrity, though his popularity continued to rise in the early version of SNL [pre-NBC], and then "Harry Met Sally" films. He still is a top known comedian, though many younger people may not know of all of his carrier, especially the game show appearances.

    Kirstie Alley was also a contestant on "Password Plus", in 1979 I believe. When she was on the show, one of the celebrities she played with happened to be none other than early TV legend Lucille Ball. Alley ended up only winning $800 on the show.

      @Sarah Hughes, it is, especially when the woman is a couple of stocks short of a portfolio, and just given something to read. That's what I hate about these type of channels/videos, I'd bet if you'd ask WatchMojo to name this woman without looking it up, I think they would fail, as she's probably just a voice actor they hired for this particular video. Or I could be completely wrong, too... 😂😂😂

    Appearing on games shows used to be a way for young male and female actors to showcase themselves on TV. Most of the them featured in this post were active in showbiz and some were the children of established stars or related to them. They were encouraged by their agents to do so and usually gave a false job description with the full knowledge of the shows' makers. It gave the young actors valuable experience before an audience and being in a TV studio, provided the producers with good looking and presentable contestants and provided their agent swith something to show any future employers.

      IDK if that's really the case in America, but I did find it suspect that they described Simon Cowell as they did because he was already an A&R man working for a record company. He was the one who signed Curiosity Killed the Cat with a major label, which means he and the late Andy Warhol (who championed the band shortly before he died) share one thing in common.
