Vanna White recently gave fans a rare glimpse into her early life during the May 7 episode of *Wheel of Fortune*.

As part of a special segment filmed in her hometown of North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, the longtime television personality shared a nostalgic black-and-white family photo from 1961, as well as a charming video from her childhood.

The photo, shown at the end of the episode, featured White alongside her parents, Joan and Herbert, and her brother, Chip. She is pictured as a young girl, dressed neatly with her hair pinned to the side—offering a touching look at the woman who would go on to become a television icon.

In the accompanying video, presumed to be from an Easter celebration, a young Vanna is seen picking up an egg from beneath a tree and handing it to her mother.

As she reflected on the clip, White noted with amusement that she’s “still wearing those pretty dresses,” pointing out the purple theme that has seemingly stayed with her for decades.

Viewers responded warmly to the segment, with many expressing admiration for the sweet family moment and Vanna’s timeless charm.

Comments flooded in, highlighting how even as a child, she displayed the same graceful presence that fans have come to love over her four-decade career on *Wheel of Fortune*.

Vanna White has been a key figure on the show since 1982, becoming a staple of American television as she flipped letters and lit up screens across the country.
