Vanna White's Film Career... There are 3 G's

Skipping Bo Derek in "Ghosts Can't Do It," Mariah Carey in "Glitter" and Dorothy Stratten in "Galaxina," there are three films starting with the letter G that feature Vanna White. None of them are terrible enough on their own to make the list, but all three make for one awful 1980's attempt to make a film star.

Graduation Day (1981)

This is a typical slasher film, of which there were several in 1981. This one stars Christopher George as a track coach whose team starts getting killed after a girl dies of an embolism at a meet. Made by the Troma crew, this has their typical slapdash feel, with occasional moments of interest; for example, in this one, the pole vault killing is particularly amusing. The film has Linnea Quigley as well as Vanna White, making it the launching pad of a scream-queen career as well as a letter-turner. You won't have any trouble figuring out who the killer is before all of the characters are introduced, but if you have to watch a slasher film, you could do worse. But not much worse.

Goddess of Love (1988)

Publicity still. There's not even a screen capture image available!

 By the late 1980's, Vanna White became a minor celebrity whose talents included smiling, clapping and, when stretched, waving. In this film, she plays the Greek goddess Aphrodite, whose statue comes to life when a ring is placed on her finger by a tourist. From that point on, it's bad acting galore and truly terrible dialogue: "I am not here for your cold gross chicken; I am here for your love!" Little Richard appears as a hairstylist, and the cast includes such television personalities as David Leisure and Amanda "Marcy D'Arcy" Bearse. It doesn't even make good use of locations.

Gypsy Angels (1989)

Vanna bumps and grinds. Sort of.

 Direction of this turkey is credited to Allan Smithee, so you know you're in for some dreck right from the start. Footage from an earlier abandoned film about strippers appears to have been wedded to new footage about stunt pilots to make a film about a stripper who has dreams of making it as a dancer who finds an amnesiac pilot and falls in love. And if that's not enough, Lyle Waggoner makes an appearance about the time he started designing luxury trailers for real stars.

Oh, I forgot! Vanna's topless for about 1/10 of a second. Even that didn't get anyone to watch this mess.
